In this article we will discuss 4 Marketing Mistakes You Can’t Afford.
Are you starting a new business or refreshing a brand that you have been working on for years, In either case, marketing is key. The key here is to avoid some of the common mistakes that can disrupt your marketing strategy. Here are some of the common issues that you must keep in mind.
The Wrong Agency
First, you should make sure that you are using the right agency. The wrong agency will often rely on black-hat marketing tactics. These will deliver results in the short term but will ultimately fail in the long term. Short term gains in marketing can lead to issues including Google penalties which will involve a long recovery. This is why you should only hire a white labelling SEO service. They will deliver the results you need and provide real, consistent, measurable results which you can explore as part of your growth plan. When checking out agencies, always explore the reviews to find the ideal business which will deliver the best solution.
Boring Content
Next, you should think about your content strategy. In the world of online marketing, people often claim that content is king and this is absolutely true. Content is one of your most significant weapons when you are attempting to increase levels of engagement with your brand. However, if your content is boring then it will have the opposite effect or no effect at all. There are lots of ways that you can improve your marketing and make it more interesting. For instance, you might want to think about adding video marketing to your website as well as your social accounts.
Low Research
It’s worth spending as much time as possible on research before you settle on the right marketing strategy. For instance, you should aim to build up buyer personas for your business. With a buyer personna, you can gain a deeper insight into who your target audience is and what they are hoping to achieve or gain from buying from your business. Ultimately, this means that you can make your final marketing strategy significantly more effective. There are lots of tools online that can help you with this stage of your campaign.
Underspending
Finally, it’s important to consider your marketing budget. On average, you should spend as much as 20% of your total budget on marketing. This needs to be separated across a wide range of solutions and platforms to ensure that you create the biggest impact. While it’s important not to overspend on marketing you also need to avoid underspending. If you don’t spend enough, then you will easily be surpassed by some of your biggest competitors in the future. This is why the cheapest marketing strategy isn’t always going to be the best choice.
We hope this helps you understand some of the key steps that you should take to guarantee that you don’t make marketing mistakes which could jeapordise the future potential of your business. Don’t forget, without the right marketing, you will struggle to gain both new and returning customers for your company.
