Effective Efficient and Affordable Marketing

Effective Efficient and Affordable Marketing

The traditional way that marketing services have been provided has typically involved piece work by the company that is hired to help promote the business. Whether the business needs a website, print collateral, advertising, PR or content development, the marketing company has always provided the potential client a bid. Once the bid has been accepted, although varying, usually a portion of the payment is provided by the client to the company and the work is begun. Once the work is finished, the remainder of the payment is made and business is concluded. Although this may be an over-simplification, the fact remains that once business is concluded there is often other needs from the client that need to be addressed. Who gets the business? Case in point: If a client hires a web developer that creates a great website is it really efficient for the client to turn to another company to create print related material? How effective is it to have multiple companies managing the different aspects of the clients marketing especially with the need to disseminate information and images in multiple formats? And quickly?

The fact is that there is a significant loss of time, resources and, most definitely, cost to the client when there is a complete lack of efficiency. By restoring the efficiency to a place where all of the client's needs are seamlessly merged together, the client can more effectively market themselves as well as cut back on their marketing budget without compromising strategy. This cut back can in turn translate into either increased profits or more competitive pricing of their products or services.

I personally have never found any client company that has not wanted to increase their profit margin or capture more of their market share especially if it could undermine their competitors. When a marketing firm chooses to take steps to become more effective, efficient and affordable for their clients, those clients always win.

The newest way that marketing firms are making this into a reality is one, by providing a complete marketing service, and two, by stepping in as an ongoing marketing partner where a monthly "salary" or retainer is paid to the marketing firm based on a specified plan to provide services as needed. From an economic stand point it is far more cost effective to pay a marketing firm $30,000 per year than to employ a single marketing expert, with a salary of over $60,000 per year, who may not be an expert in all areas. By having clients set up on a marketing plan through a single marketing firm. Imagine what it would mean to a client if they could make a change to their logo and send only one email or make one phone call and all of their printed materials and websites were updated all at once.

Change is happening in the marketing industry. Is your marketing firm ready? The Marketing 2.0® revolution has begun and it is advancing the cause of businesses and organizations of all sizes, types and industries.
