How to Win at the Marketing Game

Is your small business winning at the marketing game? While it may not be your area of expertise, cultivating a strong marketing program is one of the best ways to boost your brand forward.

A good plan doesn’t just happen by chance. It takes time and effort to tailor a program that fits your unique needs. But taking care of this singular task will lead to greater success than you ever thought possible.

Start winning at the marketing game with these smart strategies:

  • Create a Marketing Plan – Fail to plan and plan to fail. Marketing success doesn’t just happen by chance. It requires thoughtful planning defining the smart ways to promote your brand and business. An effective plan will take into account your industry, your unique business platform and your objectives to craft a winning strategy.
  • Stay True to Your Brand’s Mission – A good marketing plan will be hyper-focused on the brand\’s mission. Each piece of the program will enhance and support that message. When we implement programs that are contradictory to that vision we lose focus on what’s most important.
  • Set Measurable Goals – You have probably heard it before but setting measurable goals is essential. They develop a sense of direction and accountability. Measurable goals help to define what you are striving for with each marketing step you take.
  • Do What Everyone Else is Doing – Plus More – There is nothing wrong with staying in step with your competitors. In fact, keeping a close eye on their marketing strategies can provide insight into what direction you should be heading. Put what sets you apart from others is how you go above and beyond. What differentiates your business from the rest of the pack?

    Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.
    - Bill
    Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

    We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
