This carefully crafted and smartly written material would be your marketing hub.
What you’ll get from this is peace of mind that all your bases are covered and an assurance that your marketing strategies are moving in the right direction. By creating your marketing hub, you’ll be taking the first step to building a coherent internet marketing strategy and developing a professional website designed with a purpose.
What’s more, you’ll find out how to build a powerful portfolio of marketing material that targets each prospect type and the respective decision maker with the best possible benefit oriented copy. With a powerful marketing hub, you’ll benefit by being able to identify and categorise your prospects and build clear paths to funnel each type of them into your business.
By splitting the way you funnel prospects in half, you’ll see an effective way of creating two different marketing styles:
those that know that they need your kind of product or service, but haven’t found you yet
those that don’t realize they need your product or service, but may be interested once they see the benefits.
The prospects that have found you will be from places such as search engines, business directories, any advertising in newspapers or magazines, and referrals from existing customers.
The prospects that you are seeking will be from places such as up-sell and cross-sell campaigns, distributors or dealers, leaflets, flyers, telemarketing, mass mailing and direct response style advertising.
By examining each marketing strategy, you’ll get a comprehensive list of all your prospect funnels. You’ll be able to see at a glance where your current strategies are working and where some need further focus.
By analysing your existing customer base, you’ll increase the efficiency of your marketing by tailoring it towards your top 5 customer types. Not only that, but by analysing the decision making process of your customers, you’ll be writing your copy for the people who actually make the buying decision.
Unless you constantly review and improve your strategies, your competition will corner the market with smarter and more responsive marketing. If you’re not in control of all your marketing strategies, then not only will you be wasting your marketing budget on the wrong aspects but you will also fail to achieve maximum impact on your target customers.
