Evolution Always Beats Inertia!

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

digital-worldYour marketing strategy, like life in general, must always be a work in progress. People change, markets change, circumstances change, the world changes — and your relation to (or with) all of these will also change and evolve.

 

You must avoid inertia by working to ensure that your offering and your message remain relevant amidst change. You must keep your sites focused on the target, as it moves, to ensure that you keep moving toward your goal.

 

There will always be opportunities to make your company stronger, smarter and more successful. Watch for these opportunities — and then enbrace and expand on them.

 

Evolving brands — and businesses — thrive. Static brands die. Change for the sake of change is not the solution. Considered brand evolution is.

 

Alway be considering your next toward success. … Lori Martinek, Branding Expert & Author, http://pplusonline.com

Making It Meaningful!

Friday, February 26th, 2010

When you are trying to communicate with an audience, remember that it’s all about them and not you.

Focus on competitive consumer benefits to make your message strong. Consider the strengths that you have to work with and really think about your target market. Who are the Ideal Prospects for your message or offering? They should be people who have a need or desire that is well-matched with what you have to offer. Then … carefully … make sure that you can answer these questions BEFORE your proceed further:

  • WHO are these prospects?
  • WHAT is important to them?
  • HOW do they get information to make buying decisions?
  • WHICH types of media or other information sources do they use and, therefore:
  • WHERE will you be able to find them and speak to them?

Then also ask: WHY is your message or offering the best one to fulfill their needs? And WHY should they care about what you have to say or sell? Remember, it has to be all about them, not you, always. … Lori Martinek, Branding Expert & Author
