47 Quick Marketing Tips
Everyone, their grandmother and their dog have a barrage of marketing tips, tricks and ideas for you — good, bad and ugly.
But over my marketing career, I’ve found that some things work, and some do not. So here’s what’s worked for me in the past:
General marketing tips
- Double-check absolutely everything. There’s no reason to make silly mistakes!
- Create a plan. Don’t use a ‘go with the flow’ marketing strategy, make an actual plan. Have something in mind.
- Set goals. It’s almost impossible to measure success without setting real goals. Marketing is how you get customers and clients, and grow your business so make sure you’re working towards something.
- Create a schedule. Not only do you need to know what you’re going to do, you need to know when you’re going to do it.
- Add some colour and personality. Don’t be boring, no one follows boring (unless they do it ironically).
- Get a second opinion. Have someone else take a look at your marketing efforts and ask them what they think.
- Evaluate! Make sure you take the time the time to see what’s working and what’s not.
