Reasons Marketing Plans Can Fail



Reasons Marketing Plans Can Fail



One of the most frustrating aspects to business is when you have all the marketing tools your business needs, perhaps even some your business does not need and yet you still see no results. You may even be spending time and effort marketing your business and yet conversion ratios and traffic remain constant or even drop. The reasons why marketing plans fail are numerous however; one of the primary reasons is that it was not the right marketing plan.



Every business is different and that includes businesses that sell the same products and services. Every business has something that is unique, the group of people they are targeting, the area they are working in, the options they have available to them. These different aspects mean that the same marketing plan is not going to work on every business.



When a marketing plan fails, it is important to find out exactly why it failed first. The reason or reasons are is essential. It may be that there is only one aspect of a marketing plan that failed, it may be multiple items or it may be the entire plan.



Research



Research is an essential aspect of marketing and inadequate research is one of the biggest pitfalls that can affect a marketing plan. Research provides a wealth of information that is vital to the success of a marketing plan. Generally, research is done on the target market. If a target market is not known, research is done to determine what market is going to be the most likely to benefit from the product or service provided by your business.



This is the group of individuals you will want to target and in some areas there may be multiple groups. While it may be possible to market to all these groups it is, in most situations better to market to a single group or groups which contain a large percentage of similar traits. This makes it easier to consolidate a marketing plan as well as eliminates a significant amount of research, time and effort.



The second aspect which needs to be researched for a marketing plan to be successful and is also one of the reasons why marketing fails to produce appropriate results involves research competition. Researching competition is not just about researching the prices of a competitor. It includes noting things such as lay out, finding out what marketing techniques the competitor is using and how often these tools are used for example.



Many business owners and beginning internet marketers fail to note anything more than price and perhaps general layout. As a result, they are missing vital information that can save time, money and effort when it comes to setting up their own marketing plans. It is also important to keep in mind that you want your business to be unique from your competition.



Get a good idea of the types of deals, offers, discounts and promotions that your competition uses and offer something different to help your business stand out. Many people simply do what their competition does. In doing so, they often lower their marketability and their marketing plan can ultimately fail in this area.



Marketing Tools



Having enough research to create your marketing plan is only the first step in solving the problems that often cause marketing plans to fail. The next step is to take the time to pick out the right tools. Having the right tools for the job is essential to ensuring you get the most out of your marketing strategies.



Marketing tools have diversified over the years. Tools are not limited strictly to email and promotional options. Video, social networking, SMS texting, in addition to email and promotional marketing tools are also available. The increase in available options means that there is a greater spectrum to work with. It also means that picking the right tools is more important than ever.



Pick tools that are going to be easy for you to use, require minimal maintenance but provide you with maximum potential results. This will help to prevent your marketing plan from joining the ranks of those that have failed. Knowing the right tools to use can often be a trial and error process. The important thing is to avoid one of the reasons why marketing plans fail. In this case the reason involves putting too much into a single marketing tool.



Action, Action, Action



One of the biggest reasons why marketing plans end up failing is the lack of action. Marketing is an active part of your business, it is not a set and forget aspect of you business. In order to ensure that a marketing plan succeeds you must be actively engaged in working that plan. This means that email marketing messages should be updated and redesigned regularly.



SMS messages should be rewritten after very send. These messages should be short, contain only the minimum necessary information. It is important to remember that SMS marketing is relatively new and involves sending messages to mobile devices that often indicate repeat messages.



Videos should be produced, edited and updated to as high a level as possible. Computers and technology can turn just about any computer into a production studio with the right software. Keep videos interesting, engaging and relevant. The videos should be related to the company, the products or the services offered.



It is important to set up a marketing schedule and find out how much time, generally through trial and error that you need each day, week or month to handle all your marketing tasks and keep everything up to date.



The reasons why a marketing plan might fail are numerous. Some of these reasons include, failing to do the proper research into the market, the competition as well as the tools available. Other reasons can be failing to have enough tools, having too many tools or not using the tools you have effectively. Taking the time to make sure that you have the information you need as well as putting in the effort to ensure your success can go a long way to eliminating these reasons.

The Value of Social Bookmarking



The Value of Social Bookmarking



Marketers are thrilled when someone decides to Digg their most recent article. What does it mean to Digg and why should you care? Good questions.



At one time you might have visited a website and saw a link that said, “Email to a friend”. This was the extent of delivering content you appreciated to others. Today you have all kinds of ways to let others know about content you like. You can easily place a link to the content on Facebook.



Other Social Bookmarking Sites



While not comprehensive here are several sites that can allow others to intentionally or unintentionally help drive visitors to your site include…



Del.icio.us
Stumbled Upon
Techorati
Seed Newsvine
Reddit!
Yahoo!



The Simple Dynamic



Social media has become one of the great milestones in Internet history. People can connect with friends, family and classmates with an ease that places other fee based services at a distinct disadvantage.



Search engines have held most of the cards when it comes to a search for products and information, but they may be surrendering part of the deck to social bookmarking.



What this process does for the user is allow them to share information they have personally read and really like with people who share a similar background and interest. The implications of this dynamic are that individuals might be more inclined to ask trusted friends for advice on products, information and even vacation destinations. Their social media friends will likely have information better suited to their likes and dislikes because they know them better than a one size fits all search engine.



It might be possible that social bookmarking could be responsible for a rethinking of Internet search functions.



How to Bookmark



In many blogs and news posts you now have the option of clicking an icon that boosts the social bookmarking status of the content you just read. This encourages site visitation and provides a service to friends who follow you in social media.



This is non intrusive and infinitely better than all those undesirable forwards we all receive via email.



By placing icons that link your content to bookmarking you can allow site visitors to help you market your site. This is an advantage to those websites that have dedicated themselves to content development focused toward information consumers. Their diligence pays off in what can become a viral article as friends share the content with friends in an expanding social media network.



Some marketers have even shifted directions and are developing their content on sites already geared toward social bookmarking. WordPress is one site that does just that.



Part of a Multi tiered Strategy



This strategy may be new to you, but some of the old rules still apply. By constructing your content with accepted Search Engine Optimization (SEO) strategies you appeal to search engines where general queries provide proven enhancements in traffic. If you add the ability to bookmark the content socially you then appeal to a unique set of searchers.



In online marketing you will find the combination of multiple strategies can provide great opportunity in reaching potential buyers. Secondarily, the backlinks in social bookmarking also provide a greater trust factor for search engines looking for a good reason to elevate your site rankings.

The U.S. is Catching Up to The World in the SMS Marketing Race



Mobile marketing is marketing directly to consumers through SMS messaging, leveraging the growing number of mobile phone owners and users. Mobile (or text) marketing is predicted to be the next major global technology phenomenon, and to a certain extent it is already used across Europe and Asia by businesses of all sizes to deliver targeted marketing messages on a wholesale scale.



Mobile marketing business consultants and service providers already have access to the frameworks for dealing with SMS text marketing, yet still the US market remains behind much of the rest of the world in mobile SMS marketing.



The US is surprisingly far behind when it comes to utilizing available mobile technologies. While the Internet is very much the domain of US business, in mobile communications the US seems to lag some way behind the rest of the world. There are 36 countries in the world that have over 100% per-capita usage of mobile phones, including many otherwise poor and indebted nations. The US, for whatever reason, isn’t one of these countries.



Forecasts predict that the US will reach the 100% mark by 2013, putting it behind many other countries already far beyond that level of market penetration. When we examine the statistics, the US is currently sitting at 86% per-capita usage, compared to Taiwan’s 106%, the UK’s 120%, Italy’s 140% and 150% in Hong Kong and Estonia (this means that there are more mobile phones than people). This also means there is still some way to go before the US is ‘in’ as deep as many of its European and Asian counterparts. However, this may mean that mobile marketing in the US has an even longer lifespan at maximum responsiveness, while the penetration of the technologies reaches the levels of other nations.



There are still gaps to be exploited in mobile technologies in the US. This doesn’t mean that the effectiveness of SMS marketing is reduced, rather it may give it a level of exclusivity that makes it even MORE effective. As noted earlier, signs are showing that the gap in overall mobile phone penetration between the US and Asia is closing. For advertisers, this means the mobile marketing business is still in it’s infancy, but looks like it is here to stay. For those looking to jump on board, the rewards for being an early adopter may prove even more valuable.



With mobile marketing, business owners across the world are realizing the benefits of this kind of promotion on their bottom line. The mobile marketing business looks set to continue to grow at a rapid rate over the next few years. Consumers in the US are yet to be fully exposed to marketing through SMS, and as such are still very responsive to message passed through this medium.



Indeed, when compared to broadcast and print marketing, the results are staggering. As such, it’s only a matter of time before the mobile marketing business in the US catches up with the more established mobile marketing business sectors in Europe and Asia, which will provide advertisers with a whole world of new marketing possibilities.

Online Business Advertising Tips



There are lots of different ways to earn money over the Internet, but one thing is constant – you need a website to get you started. A good online marketing plan starts with an effective website that has the potential of attracting a good number of daily visitors and therefore, more chances for advertising and marketing the business.



But just having a website is not enough. You will have to put into consideration a lot of factors before you can start feeling like you have a potential gold mine in your hands. Not all websites are created equal, but there are usually some similarities in the most effective ones. Make sure you check out your competitor’s websites to see what you like and what you don’t like. Try to look at it through the eyes of a potential customer rather than through the eyes of a competitor. Either way, make sure you are happy with your website before you exert all of your marketing efforts into promoting it.



Here are a few online business marketing tips that you can use to help you start your Internet money making venture.



1. Do your market research.



It’s not enough that you have thought of a great business idea. You must make sure that there is an actual need for what you are going to be offering and cater your business plan towards meeting that need. If there is no need, it has very little, if any, chance of succeeding.



2. Find your true target audience.



Your entire business plan should be built around who you are attempting to sell to. Gain all the demographical knowledge you need before building your website. If your target market is males from 18-25 years old, focusing your advertising efforts in the AARP website will have little effect. Likewise, your product created for retirees would not generate much interest from your ad on Myspace. Find out who is most likely to purchase your product and then learn how best to reach them.



3. Start search engine optimization efforts immediately.



It’s a smart idea to get your search engine optimization (SEO) campaigns started as early as possible and to keep them consistent. The most effectively optimized websites have taken a natural and organic approach towards this kind of marketing. It can take significant amounts of time to achieve results through the search engines, so start early and keep after it. If possible, build your website with SEO in mind.



4. Consider sponsorships.



This can be done both online and offline. You can participate in contests and sponsor the prizes in exchange for promotion for your website. You can also do it in the real world. For example you can help fund a certain organization’s activity in order to create brand recognition. Again, keep your target market in mind. Make sure the members of these organizations fit into your demographic.



5. Advertise.



Once you have determined your target audience and learned how to reach them, focus your efforts and marketing budget completely on that area. Contact other site owners that are in a similar field and ask if they offer advertising slots. Create an affiliate program to encourage others to place your ads on their sites in exchange for commissions. Be as visible as you can to your target audience and you will soon be the first brand that pops into their mind when they are looking for what you’re offering.



Using these tips is only a start, but doing them effectively will likely lead to a surge in your site’s daily traffic and it should continue to grow. More importantly, these will likely be targeted traffic – just the kind you’ll need to make it in the ever-growing online business field.



If you’re unsure of where and how to get started, our Logic Path marketing club offers one-on-one internet marketing consulting and marketing solutions as a part of each membership. Learn more here.
