Laws That Guide Successful Business Advertising
Jan/100
Advertising is both an art and a science that entrepreneurs must master and understand its core fundamentals in order to maximize the rewards of advertising. Effective small business administration figures indicate that a successful small business must allocate 5% of the entrepreneur’s gross sales on advertising. However, this will only be beneficial if the entrepreneur understands the laws of advertising.
Small business advertising laws:
a) Pass one message at a time
To see a high response rate, you must pass one message at a time. The message should be simple, compelling and needs to be quick. The message need only be five seconds long and can drive massive traffic to your site.
b) Message conveyed must be credible
Many humans distrust advertising because over ages, advertisers have focused on misinforming the public, conveying lies and half-truths and data that is not credible. False advertising is a total waste of advertising money because even after managing to drive a customer to your site and you cannot deliver, there is no revenue gained. Place facts in your message and if the content is detailed, you may consider providing references.
c) Always test everything
Before diving to advertise your product, it is in the best interest of your business to test the advertisement to avoid wasting capital resources in advertising that may backfire. Since small businesses do not have much money to invest in advertising, planning and testing is crucial. You can carry out test advertisements to measure timing, headline and ad placement using special offers, code, coupons and direct customer contact. Another point to note is that you should test only one product at a time.
d) Maintain easy contact with customers
In every advertisement, brochure, email, catalogue or company literature, ensure that you include the business contacts and any necessary information including email and website addresses, fax and phone numbers and physical address. This may sound simple but many businesses focus on the content and end up forgetting the vital contact part.
e) Match every advertisement to the target audience
To have a successful advertising campaign, your advertisement must focus on specific audience and be customized to speak to the target directly. This will make the audience have faith that the advertisement was crafted with them in mind and will have more drive to follow through with the message than a generalized advertisement that has no focus.
f) Curiosity – make the customers want to know more
Affordable advertising does not seek to educate the customer about a product to the extent of making them choose whether to buy or not to buy it. Instead, it should provide basic concepts and inciting information to drive the target to want to know more about that business or product. It is wise to create ads that will make the prospective customers curious to want to know more about you and therefore come to get the specifics.
If your advertisement does not pay back, never lay the blame on the advertising medium, it is the message. Always start small and fix advertising problems as you encounter them. A good advertising strategy demands research, planning, testing and constant improvement to succeed.
Tips on Creating Successful Marketing Projects For Your Clients
Jan/100
More than ever before, companies are hiring marketing consulting businesses with one important criterion in mind: “How can this marketing consultant help me get the most out of my marketing dollars?”
With increasing pressure to maximize the return on their clients’ marketing investment, marketing consultants are all too aware that campaigns that miss the mark cost their clients time and money. And at times, clients will seek compensation for those losses with a lawsuit.
Although marketing consultant liability insurance will protect your consultancy, a lawsuit can still deal a stinging blow to a marketing business’ professional reputation and take away valuable time from client service to focus on defending the lawsuit. To manage this risk, it is important to understand and correctly translate a client’s needs into a successful campaign.
Measuring Success
Most marketing consulting projects are focused on one of two outcomes: building brand awareness or generating leads. Each situation calls for similar assessment tactics, but involve very different execution strategies.
A brand-awareness campaign focuses on building a company’s reputation within a market and growing corporate or product name recognition among a targeted demographic. Because brand awareness can be hard to quantify, this type of project creates unique challenges for a marketing consulting business seeking to justify a customer’s marketing investment. Clearly discussing the project objectives with the client will aid in minimizing marketing consulting risk and liability.
Results for lead-generation campaigns are generally easier to track, as these projects produce tangible, traceable results. These marketing campaigns are designed to generate leads that will in turn help the company to sell a product or service, whether it’s an immediate buy such as a soft drink or book, or a longer-term commitment such as a technology system or membership. But new sales aren’t the only measure of success. Many companies also have business objectives to grow their customer base; convert prospects to buyers; or turn existing buyers into high-volume, loyal customers.
Where Does the Client Stand?
Before a marketing consultant can develop an effective strategy to achieve the desired results, he or she must first develop a comprehensive understanding of the client’s industry and customer base. Most importantly, any marketing strategy must be tied to a company’s strategic objectives to ensure greater success and reduce risk for marketing firms.
To translate a customer’s needs into a viable marketing project, the first step is to achieve the deepest possible understanding of what a client’s business objectives are. In assessing a client’s needs, a marketing consultant must consider numerous factors that will affect the company, long after the marketing campaign has finished. Smart marketing consultants employ an interview process to better define potential opportunities and ensure agreement on the campaign’s objectives. Questions may include:
- What is the client’s business goal and strategy to achieve it?
- Who and where are the client’s customers? What are they buying, and why?
- What markets would the client like to move into?
- What is the goal of this campaign? (Increase revenue? New customers? Market penetration? Repeat business? Customer loyalty?)
- What marketing efforts has the client made in the past, and what were the results?
- What is the client’s marketing budget, or acceptable cost per lead? (This is a key question.)
- What IT systems and personnel does the client have in place to track campaign results and return on investment?
- Who are the client’s competitors, and what are they doing right or wrong?
- What differentiates the client company from its competitors and makes it the best choice for customers?
Typically, gathering the answers to these and other questions can start with an initial meeting with the client. However, to gain more in-depth insight as a project begins, a marketing consultant can interview both internal client contacts and the company’s customers, and assess the market space in which the company operates. Customer surveys, case studies and testimonials are all useful sources for customer perspective into what makes a company stand out.
With all of this information as a foundation, a marketing consultant should be well-prepared to define the vision and scope of a project, research options, develop success measures, create an internal approval process, and formulate tactics to achieve the client’s marketing and business objectives. A good tip to reduce marketing liability is to ensure your project plans include milestone checkpoints and defined success measures.
Incorporating New Technologies
As marketing consultants assess their customers’ business needs, it’s vital to consider how those needs might be served by the latest technological innovations. For example, almost all marketing campaigns now have some online component, whether it’s a landing page that customers can locate using a URL in a print ad or a more advanced interactive campaign with Twitter or Facebook.
An added benefit to Internet marketing is the ability to get immediate feedback on the profitability of a campaign. Using analytics programs, you can count unique site visitors and track click-through rates, providing an immediate measure of customer response. As part of the project scoping process, marketing firms must identify the client’s current platforms, applications and metrics, as well as provide recommendations on new technology to support the business outcomes desired. At the same time, when employing online marketing, the potential for a marketing consultant’s liability may increase because outside applications, functionality and databases may fail to perform or experience security flaws, all of which could pose a situation for litigation.
Today’s client companies are counting on their marketing consultants to help them understand how to integrate the newest technologies and marketing techniques to get the best return on their marketing investment. By combining a thorough understanding of the latest marketing trends with a solid understanding of a company and its objectives, a marketing consultant can create campaigns that will win customers over, while reducing marketing liability and winning their clients’ repeat business.
