You are in all probability doing "tactical" marketing.
Thus what precisely will that mean? Isn't marketing, marketing?
The solution is, no. There are two sorts of selling: strategic marketing and tactical marketing. And, there's a distinct difference between the two.
It's what most promoting "gurus" do not teach you
As I look around, most of the "marketing gurus" I see are teaching tactical marketing. It's not that that's bad ... it's just that it's only half of what you need to succeed.
They are teaching you the way to write copy. A way to publish an ezine. How to plug your business by writing articles or by issuing press releases. How to market by teaching teleseminars or doing speaking engagements. Or maybe a way to network effectively.
Yes, these are all terribly valid ways that to market your business.
Therefore, what's the problem?
While not a well-thought-out promoting strategy behind them, your possibilities of finding success with any or all of these marketing ways is limited.
Thus what exactly is strategic marketing?
Just like it sounds, strategic selling means you've got a technique behind your marketing. A "game plan" if you will.
It's what you do BEFORE you begin selling
It involves spending it slow BEFORE you market to determine specifically what you would like to accomplish and setting some goals for your business. It suggests that establishing an objective for every promoting activity you undertake.
With strategic selling you're taking the time to answer some basic queries about who you are marketing to and what message will be most effective.
You're taking the time to essentially perceive the people you're selling to and how your product or service solves a problem or fills a want they have.
You place of these puzzle pieces together to create a strategy and a plan to grow your business.
Yes, that strategy may involve things like writing effective ad copy, publishing an ezine, article marketing, writing press releases, and perhaps even doing some speaking or networking.
However here's the important distinction ...
You now have a game set up driving your use of these promoting tactics. You know what you wish to achieve. You know who you are trying to reach. You know where you'll notice them. And you recognize what you need to say to persuade them.
