What does the marketing communication need to deliver?**\n\nEvery strategy needs an objective—is it revenue, new customers, enquiries? Set a goal that is measurable and realistic.\n\n**2. How are we different?**\n\nThink hard about what makes your business unique and differentiates you from your competitors. Then you can market your difference to link to the above objective.\n\n**3. Who are our competitors?**\n\nEffective marcomms starts with a robust analysis of your marketplace competitors. Map their strengths against your own unique offering.\n\n**4. Who are our customers?**\n\nMost companies think they know their customers but not all go very far beyond the surface. Do you know what they really want? Have you asked them or have you assumed your product or service fits all their needs? How do they buy your products/services? What is their mindset? What problems do they have? These are the types of strategic questions that need to be asked to make your marcomms effective.\n\n**5. Are we using the right communication channels?**\n\nThe best messages are wasted if your desired audience isn’t seeing them. Use the right channel at the right time to ensure your messaging connects and engages.\n\n**6. Have we got the message right?**\n\nAnyone business can talk about their product or service, but is that what your customer wants to hear? Acknowledge the problem you are solving for them. Double check the language suits them. Ensure every message reflects your brand position, your personality, your tone of voice and has the creativity to cut through all the clutter.\n\n**7. How are we measuring success?**\n\nDefine the measures you’re using to link back to your goals. You can’t manage what you can’t measure.","textSize":"text-xl","textColour":"text-black"}}},"buttons":[],"sectionTitle":null}}}}},{"type":"vizyBlock","attrs":{"id":"vizy-block-Qwl8bxCyv8","enabled":true,"collapsed":false,"values":{"type":"type-0jFlVakMTB","content":{"fields":{"sectionHeight":"h-auto","backgroundColour":"bg-red","textBuilder":{"new1":{"type":"text","enabled":true,"collapsed":false,"fields":{"text":"Maximising your investment in marcomms is your ultimate goal and posing these questions before you start work is crucial to achieving long-term success.","textSize":"text-xl","textColour":"text-black"}}},"buttons":[],"sectionTitle":null}}}}}]
