KEY TAKEAWAYS 
What really helps you grow a business are strategy, content and value. 
There are 4 common key mistakes: 

Shiny new toy syndrome – people look for the one ‘magic something’ that is going to make their business successful. 

Operating only at a tactical level- it’s the back to front way of marketing. No two marketing plans should look the same and an overview of the journey you are on is vital. 

The copy me syndrome – copying other businesses, you must communicate what is different about you and choose tactics that are right for your business, at this point because of where your target audience is. 

Content creation – business owners create content then do not use it. Using a content planning model enables you to repurpose content effectively. 
A marketing strategy is based on where you are, what you want to sell, who your target audience is, what your competitors are doing, where you want to get to, and how you are going to navigate to reach that point. 
A SWOT analysis can provide clarity when developing a marketing strategy. The strengths and weakness are internal to the business including elements such as resources and personal skill sets. Opportunities and threats are external to the business and include aspects such as competition in the marketplace. 
Creating a customer-centric business, revolving your business genuinely around your customer needs from product development onwards means the business is very close to its target audience. 
If you are serious about growth then staying close to your target audience is key. They are going to give you all the information you need to help develop and grow successfully. 
Successful businesses all share an understanding of  key elements; content creation, the power of PR, digital marketing, analytics, customer centricity, creativity, strategy and operational planning. 
When you have a strategy in place and before you commence with any marketing list your key messages, it’s important that others know what you are doing and what your marketing message is. 
The minute you start making the right tactical choices everything changes and with a clear strategy the overwhelm of marketing disappears. 

  

BEST MOMENTS 

‘In a crowded noisy world, people want something that speaks specifically to them’ 

‘Lots of small businesses are passion led and with this sometimes comes tunnel vision’ 

‘The smartest people win by  facing the reality and then being  strategic about how they  get through the noisy marketplace to reach their goals’ 

‘Where are you on that journey and what is right for your business tactically at that time?’
