When your marketing doesn’t work

Do you run various marketing activities and operate in all possible channels? Do you look for innovations and more successful forms of advertising? Do you spend money on Google AdWords campaigns and cannot see significant results? Sounds familiar. Check where you make mistakes and fix it with Marketing Automation.

It’s not the case that marketing channels don’t work and there we need to seek the source of our failures. The problem is slightly more complex. Even the most effective solutions will fail, if our activities aren’t well thought over and supported by clever strategy. A plan and a goal we strive towards is essential. Spending money on everything we can think of doesn’t make sense if we don’t previously examine in details the sense and objective of our activities. We need to remember that communication strategies created by the channel cease to work because we often begin to dive between various communication channels. In fact, there aren’t classic communication sources any more. Now, there are ‘meeting’ points with clients, in which we must dynamically custom the content for them.

Below, you’ll find a few practical tips on how to avoid irrational activities scattered in many various directions.

– Understanding the consumer and focusing on his needs

As an owner of the business you must know your clients and get to know why they made a purchase with you. Marketing Automation system will help you understand your potential and current clients thanks to monitoring their behavior. This knowledge will let you focus on planning and accomplishing those marketing activities, which generate real sales and new revenue.

– Contract out activities your aren’t good at

Modern marketing is complex and multidimensional. This way it’s not possible to pursue all activities single-handedly and on the highest level. Do you already know what the key of your company marketing is? Consider if it wouldn’t be beneficial to contract writing an industry article and employ a professional to run the AdWords campaign. Before you decide to outsource some activities, you must know where you are heading for and what particular results you want to accomplish. This way, you’ll avoid understatements and clearly determine the direction of activities to your contractors or subcontractors.

-Invest in Marketing Automation system

Investing in good system will allow to run your business more effectively. Not only think of improvements around your marketing activities but data base management, contact flow and sales also need to be taken care of. Efficient Marketing Automation system will fully grant the management of current activities and give true opportunities to implement and develop them.

How to choose suitable Marketing Automation system?

-Take advantage of various marketing channels and control their effectiveness

If one of the channels doesn’t function properly, it may be high time for tweaks and improvements. You have to know which elements don’t prove useful and in which it’s better not to invest anymore. There are plenty of possibilities available to reach clients with your offer. Nowadays, clients themselves more actively search for information about products and offers. Thus, successful marketing needs two various methods of communication – inbound and outbound. The first one focuses on attracting clients through the shared content (blog, WWW, webinars) so that clients can find us in google search. ‘Outbound’ means all of those channels, which direct their content right to the recipient (e-mail, SMS, advertisement). By merging those two ways of communication we make it easier for client to find our offer and point out most important and useful information to them. Moreover, we don’t need various solutions to run such communication because practically all the channels can automatically be managed by single Marketing Automation system.

Many entrepreneurs invest huge money in the tools, which won’t be useful for many reasons. They are most often purposed to quite different forms of activities or require detailed and specialized knowledge in order to work with them effectively. That’s why it’s so important to make a detailed plan and consistently accomplish it, monitoring constantly its effectiveness. Developed and worked out KPI (Key Performance Indicators) are here to accommodate our needs, as this way we can monitor an extent of our goals implementation and Marketing Automation will grant their easy preparation.
