Our 3 Stage Marketing Plan

A marketing plan or strategy is vital for your business’ success,  whatever industry you represent. Quite often a marketing plan is drawn up without any regard for the 1st or 3rd step outlined below. This is potentially the difference between your marketing plan being a success or a failure.

  1. Pre-Marketing

Pre-marketing is the foundation stage of any marketing plan to enable business development. Prior to any marketing, SEO and social marketing, this step ensures that you have the right brand, website, stationery, brochure/catalogue and other related sales and marketing tools in place. This step will ensure you capitalise on your ongoing marketing and sales team activity. It helps you to clarify who you are, what you do, your target audience and their requirements. It informs where you want to be and how you are going to get there. Getting this right is vitally important as all other marketing activities are built on this. It helps to determine your direction and your value in the marketplace.

The value proposition you put forward in any marketing or sales material will help you to establish your competitive advantage over other similar companies. It will help prospects to determine if they feel your offering fits their requirements and if they will buy from you.
