Staying On Track

Are you starting off your new year with a new and improved marketing tactic? Implementing a new marketing plan into your store can be a tough challenge and may be hard to maintain. You may have a truly effective plan, yet how will you even know or benefit from it if you don’t stay on track? So, how do you stay on track and keep your momentum going? FGmarket has a few tips that will help you keep your new marketing plan in action.

Evaluate – Take a step back and look at your new and improved marketing plan. Evaluate everything including, your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Focus on how you can use your strengths and opportunities to your advantage and how you can overcome your weaknesses and threats. Have an actionable plan in place.

Target – Know your target market. Who are you trying to reach and what demographic is best for your store? Knowing who you are wanting to reach and figuring out the best ways to reach them will help you stay on track so you can increase your sales and bring new consumers into your store.

Set Goals – This will definitely help you stay on track. Set specific, attainable goals for your store. What do you want to achieve with this new marketing plan? Stay focused by being goal oriented with three or four goals that you would like to achieve. However, don’t set too many goals, as it may result in scattered, ineffective marketing.

How Will You Achieve Your Goals? – Once you figure out your goals, create actionable plans for each one. You can’t set goals without figuring out how you can meet each one. Otherwise, why set them? Set a goal like developing a more personable relationship with your customers by being active on your social media page. Once you meet your goals, it will make you that much more inclined to set new ones and accomplish bigger and greater things.

The biggest part of staying on track is to set goals for yourself. Having goals will keep you focused on the bigger picture. Strive each and everyday to make sure you’re working towards achieving your goals, which will help you stay on track.

Seth Godin – Vertical marketing means the marketer (the one with money) is in charge. Vertical marketing starts at the top and involves running ads, sending out direct mail and pushing hype through the media. Your money, your plans, your control. It might not work, but generally the worst outcome is that you will be ignored and need to spend more money.

Horizontal marketing, on the other hand, means creating a remarkable product and story and setting it up to spread from person to person. It’s out of your control, because all the interactions are by passionate outsiders, not paid agents.

Chris Brogan – Want to succeed at work? Then don’t try to do your job. Instead, work towards something larger, more meaningful, and something that blends your convictions internally with your best ability to help others externally.
