Marketing support for your business or organisation

Marketing is essential for any business, particularly for small businesses or medium-sized enterprises that need to stand out from the crowd and gain market share when pitted against much larger competitors. You need marketing to allow your business to find, communicate and importantly, keep your audience loyal to you. Marketing is not something that happens just once; Coca-Cola did not advertise their business once and then stop, never to advertise again. It is an ongoing process essential to allowing a company to flourish. Marketing needs not just be ongoing but also executed effectively.
 

If you own or manage a small business, you need to ask yourself how effective your marketing is? Determining how much impact your marketing has is relatively easy to figure out. Are you pleased with the number of sales leads that you get? Are you happy with the number of followers you have on social media? Are you content with where you appear on search engines? If you are not, then your marketing is not adequate, and if your marketing is not successful, then your business is underachieving, and you need expert help to put that right. 

Marketing advice and support for business owners

Why should marketing be important to me?

Business failure for startups and SME’s is the rule, not the exception. In the UK, based on figures released in 2021, 20% of businesses fail in their first year, and around 60% will go bust within their first three years. Business failure can be for many reasons, but as a business owner, if you manage to sort out your product, suppliers, finances and HR, what do you need next? You, of course, need marketing to communicate effectively with your customers and target market and ultimately make sales and revenue. Having great suppliers and staff is excellent, but that alone cannot ensure a business will survive. The final ingredient to the recipe of success has to be a marketing strategy that works.
