Marketing Programs

Let's start by understanding how to determine the top marketing programs for your business that will drive new customers and increase your revenues. While there are many marketing programs to choose from, it is best to pick the top 3 - 5 that will drive the best business results.

Your website is the window to your business - the new version of marketing collateral. It communicates what your business does, your products and services, and most importantly how to buy from you.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Get listed and rank as high as possible in Google and other search engines. SEO has become a critical, must-have component of your overall marketing strategy.

There are so many options today to get exposure online, so lets make sure you pick the right one for your business. Here we will not only look into the different online advertising channels, but also help you understand the metrics when investing in this channel.

You might think print media is not worth investing in given the rise of digital media. But don’t overlook print media as it can be very effective for some businesses.

Press relations can be a very powerful and effective tool in our marketing toolkit. Hiring a PR expert can catapult a new company into rapid growth. Part of our PR strategy should be working with industry analysts and influencers as well as the press.  

Social media is a key component for nearly every business.

Email is one of the most powerful and cost-effective tools you can use to build your business. We will take a look how to effectively implement and maximize revenues from this important channel. 

Content marketing is one of the newest and most effective ways to attract new customers. By providing potential customers with high quality information and education, nicely packaged and delivered, customers will be much more interested in doing business with you.

Trade shows and events can be a wildly successful vehicle to gain access to new customers. However, trade shows can also be expensive, so we will show how to use this channel to its fullest.  

Let's take a look at how you leverage customer retention marketing to grow your business. 

To wrap things up, we will take a look at a handful of other common marketing programs that you might want to tap into.  These include partner marketing, channel marketing, influencer programs, speaking programs, and event-driven marketing.
