Why does Marketing Matter: A Guide

Why Does Marketing Matter?

Big or small, you owe it to your business to market it well. For growing businesses, the idea of adding on a marketing bill to the monthly expenses seems like a luxury. In a competitive world, word of mouth just doesn’t cut it when it comes to growing a new business. “The Small Business Association suggests companies budget 7 to 8 percent of revenues for promotion. Yet the average small business allocates just 1 percent.” With that said, millions are not necessary for a successful and catchy marketing plan. We are breaking down the negative thoughts that might be ringing in your ear when it comes to your business’ marketing plan. Get ready to kiss those bad thoughts goodbye!

DOES MY COMPANY REALLY NEED IT?

The big question business owners ask themselves is “do I really need a marketing plan?” The answer will always be yes, no matter the size of your business. Companies, especially new businesses, that decide to skimp on marketing rarely are successful if they decide not to invest in promotional efforts.

The key to success is to create a plan that works for your niche. Have someone analyze what the most important marketing needs are for your business. You don’t have to go all-in right away. Working on an outreach that fits your brand’s needs with the budget that works for you and your business is ideal. Here are some services that could help your business grow.

DOESN’T MARKETING COST A FORTUNE?

Creating an individualized marketing plan that makes an impact on your business’s exposure doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg. When business owners stress and decide to take over the marketing themselves, ideas start to fall through the cracks. When you don’t have help implementing your marketing ideas, these tasks can become challenging. This takes away valuable time from being the face of your brand.

Ignite suggests if you don’t have the budget for a large campaign, start small. We see real-time results that make a genuine impact from Facebook Ads, Google My Business and Ad Words, social media consistency, giveaways, and referral incentives. These marketing implementations can start up your business’ online presence fast and results will be sure to follow.

Say you have the small aspects of your plan covered, but have zero clue where to start with a website or graphic design. That’s where you can hire an expert. Marketing plans are not all or nothing. Ignite can cater and create a plan that works perfectly for you, meeting your needs 100 percent of the time.
