The Marketing Opportunity

The Marketing Opportunity   Scott Wilson is back with a deep dive into the world of marketing.    In recent months, he has engaged with hundreds of business owners through seminars, workshops, podcasts, and strategy sessions, discovering a number of common themes and highlighting a significant marketing opportunity that every business owner should seize.

Here’s what you will discover in this Marketing 4 Business Podcast episode.   Common Theme 1  - Lack of Performance Measurement   Many businesses invest heavily in diverse marketing platforms such as radio, billboards, and digital mediums like Facebook and Google Ads.

However, a recurring issue is that most businesses aren't measuring or managing their performance effectively. This lack of strategic measurement can lead to wasted resources on underperforming campaigns.   Common Theme 2 - Avoiding Mismatch in Market, Message, Media   The triple M's of marketing - Market, Message, Media - must align to ensure a successful campaign.

Our host cites examples of younger digital marketing agencies making mistakes in audience targeting and how we've helped them rectify this.   Common Theme 3 - Past Marketing Failures     Past marketing failures often discourage businesses from investing further in promotional efforts.   We share a case study of a once well-known company that ceased its marketing efforts due to the need for results. 

The root cause? Lack of strategy and measurement.    And as always, Scott shares his actionable advice so you can take advantage of The Marketing Opportunity right now.   Marketing Opportunity 1 - Implement Strategy-First Thinking   A clear, well-designed strategy is the foundation of successful marketing.
