hello at scs-digitalmarketing.com

 

No one wants to fail.

According to U.S. Bank, 78% of small businesses fail because they lack a well-developed business and marketing plan.

Too many business owners don’t have the time, marketing expertise or analytic skills needed to develop an integrated marketing plan that leads to successful growth.

So they often pick a single marketing tactic based on “their gut”, or pick the same tactic that worked for a colleague in a different industry.

The end result is often disappointment: a new website that doesn’t help as much as your gut “thought”, a direct mail campaign less successful at lead generation than your colleague’s, and so on.

Worse, even if it was a reasonable effort to employ and implement a singular tactic by a competent agency, it is a recipe for failure. Each marketing tactic has its own strengths, weaknesses, costs and benefits, which an intelligent, coordinated, integrated strategy can weave together in a whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Integrating marketing tactics into an orchestrated marketing plan leads to success. Single-tactic agencies understand this, but their business model doesn’t allow for an integrated approach. For example, ad agencies know that an ad campaign supported by quality web content (two tactics at once) is more cost effective than a solo ad campaign (only one tactic).

Yet most ad agencies won’t recommend you improve your website as an element of their ad program because:
(1) they don’t develop websites and,
(2) they don’t want you to spend 6-months working with a website developer before they can begin their work.

An effective marketing plan should coordinate and integrate a variety of complimentary tactics (e.g., ads and websites in sync to increase the ad conversion rate, sharing knowledge of keywords that work well in advertising with a site’s and blog’s copywriters to improve page rank, and so on).
