Before deciding on any marketing strategy, the first thing which you need to identify is your target market. The more clearly your target market is defined, the better your marketing efforts will be. Look inside to see what kind of customer base you may have, and then sub divide your audience into clear, manageable lot. Understand that the biggest mistake is to try to please everyone. As in the game of darts, where you need to aim to hit the board, defining your target market clearly will give you better aim.

Read Your Competition : 

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. This can be no truer than in the case of business. Learn what your competitors are doing, where they are doing well and where they are failing. Emulate the good and learn from the bad.

Address The Pain-Points :

If you think your business can really make a difference in certain aspects of people’s lives, highlight it. Instead of taking the ‘I’ approach, take the ‘you’ approach and address the pain-points of your customers and how you can address and resolve it.

Review Your Website : 

Do you think your website is as par with the latest trends? More often than not, businesses get too busy promoting their business and brand that they often forget one of the most important facet; their website. If your website still gives out the look and feel of 1995, it may be wise to go for a revamping. Check out your website to see if it looks appealing, if the content are fine and updated, if the colour scheme is appropriate, if there is a strong call-for-action.

Your website, business cards, products, flyers and all your other marketing and advertising efforts should speak in similar tone.
