How To Do Local Marketing
Back to: Step-by-Step Plan: Killer Marketing & Sales Strategy
To best determine what Local Marketing activities you should use, follow these four key stages:
- Gather the Facts,
- Build Your Plan,
- Implement Your Plan, and
- Track, Measure & Share Results.
By following this path, you will develop a thorough Local Marketing Plan that identifies your situation, challenges AND opportunities, and then uses the right solutions and activities to build your business-driving plan.
In our experience – as with nearly anything in life – you reap what you sow. By taking short cuts or jumping to the end, you’ll miss key steps along the way. The more in-depth you work on each stage, the better your ultimate results.
