Want your marketing to be successful?



Use our 3-step planning process to make your marketing P.O.P.
 
Step 1: Prepare.

Build a strong foundation with our powerful and effective consulting services. Our 30 Day Marketing Firm Program will help you develop realistic 12 month goals, identify your specific target markets, collect and create differentiators, and organize your own ideas. After 30 days, we deliver a comprehensive 12 month strategic and tactical marketing plan, complete with an itemized budget that will serve as your personal marketing guide. Execute the plan yourself or let Markations do the work for you. Disciplined entrepreneurs can take advantage of individual or group coaching classes. Once you've developed your marketing strategy, you'll need to build your marketing infrastructure. Establish your brand identity with a memorable logo, business card, and letterhead. Then, create an informative, visually appealing website that is easy to navigate.

 
Step 2: Operationalize.
As a busy business owner, you need to create an automated marketing system that runs in the background with little or no effort from you. Markations will help you determine the best course of action and then implement a marketing system for you. For example, first, we build you a professional, eye-catching website and optimize it for the search engines. Search Engine Marketing can also be used to guide qualified prospects to your site. Then we encourage visitors to sign up for your email or e-newsletter campaign by offering white papers, articles, free trials, etc. We continue the customer dialogue through targeted weekly, monthly, or quarterly contact. Referral programs and testimonial collection are used to solidify customer loyalty and encourage repeat business. This is all done by us with almost no time or effort from you!
 
Step 3: Promote.
Drive customers to your marketing system with innovative promotion services. Use SEO (search engine optimization) and SEM (search engine marketing) to drive traffic to your website. Announce new products or services through press release campaigns. Partner with charities, throw special events, or hold contests to create buzz in the community. Or, under special circumstances, use direct mail and advertising to build brand awareness and get new customers.
