Assessment of Current Business & Marketing Strategy
Before you can start improving your business, you have to know where it stands.
Business assessments help you determine where your business is today and where it needs to go in the future. They help you understand how your business stacks up against competitors and identify the strengths and weaknesses of your company. They also help you set goals for yourself and your team so that everyone knows what they're working toward.
You should also assess your marketing strategy to understand the role that each marketing channel plays in your strategy, your target audience and how you properly communicate and market to them.
Flesh Out Your Funnel Strategy, Visibility Metrics & Sales Targets
Your marketing funnel is a crucial part of your business. If it's not working, you're wasting money and missing out on opportunities.
A marketing funnel is basically a way of getting a prospect to take the next step in your sales process by guiding them to your product or service with the proper messaging, content and calls to action. You can use it to identify opportunities for improvement, enhance customer satisfaction, and develop better strategies for acquiring new customers.
The most common problem with marketing funnels is that they aren't working as well as they could be—or worse, they aren't working at all!
Some questions that you can ask yourself to help you improve your funnel is:
What understanding do I have about their age, gender, interests, and preferred purchasing methods?
How can I better understand my customer base?
What content is my ideal customers engaging with? Am I creating content that my ideal customers are interested in?
Track Marketing Performance Across Social, Search, Website & Email
If you're not tracking your results across all channels, you're missing out on a lot of valuable information. You could be missing out on opportunities to make improvements or even just understanding what works and what doesn't.
Here are some of the top benefits of tracking your marketing results across social media, search engine optimization (SEO), websites, and email:
You'll know what's working and what isn't
You can make better predictions about future performance
You'll understand your customers better (and who they might be)
With the rise of digital marketing, it's easy to forget that all channels are connected. If you're not tracking your performance across all channels, you're missing out on opportunities to learn and improve.
Evaluate Analytics to Improve Customer and Client Attraction Strategy
The best way to improve your marketing strategy is to evaluate it. You need to ask yourself: What's working? What's not working? How can I fix the things that aren't working, and make the things that are working even better?
Here are some questions you can ask yourself as you evaluate your marketing strategy:
Are we targeting the right customers? Are we reaching them on the right platforms?
Are we spending too much money on this campaign, or could we save money by cutting back on some of our expenses?
What kinds of messages and offers are resonating with our customers? Which ones aren't really helping us grow?
