Marketing is the biggest contribution to your business’ growth. And it all depends on the strategy you apply.
A marketing strategy helps you to direct your ads and campaigns through the right media channels, to the right audience. It is effective in helping you measure the effort you put in, and how it affects your rate of sales and customer satisfaction.
When you want to create a marketing strategy for your services or products, you must carry out some basic things to ensure that your strategy is effective and efficient.
- Understand your target audience
Before setting out on your plans for digital marketing, product promotion, and so on, it is important to first establish the population group you are focusing your marketing strengths on. Highlight the demographics of your expected customers and then use it to decide on every other part of your strategy creation.
- Select a campaign format
Next is to select a format to carry out your campaign. Are you going to be creating video, graphics, or written content? Is it going to be supported by influencers or sponsored posts? What social media platforms are your target audience more familiar with? These and so much more are the questions that help you define your campaign format.


- Decide on budget and campaign intensity
When you have decided on the way you want to approach the campaign and marketing, you need to outline your budget. The budget should be based on how much you are willing to spend for the entirety of the campaign. This includes cost of creating content, promotions, and influencer marketing (if you decide to). Another important thing to decide on, is the intensity of the marketing strategy. Typically, this is determined by how much you are willing to spend but it doesn’t hurt to outline it so that you know exactly how much you need to be doing at every point during the campaign.
- Launch marketing strategy
The final step is to launch your strategy. Ensure that the first wave of your campaign is as engaging and interesting as can be. That is how you can pull the largest crowd to your page/channel on any platform.
Marketing is a great way to build organic, loyal fans. You just have to do it right!
