You are marketing, but is anyone listening?

It is rough out there for any business in the Phoenix area: Many factors are at contributing;  a down economy, changing consumer behavior, fragmentation of media.  What is a business owner to do? You think everyone is talking about social media, “HECK,  I am even on Facebook every other day.” Thinking to yourself .“ I like it, I can do this”. Then you set up a page for your business and then nothing, your customers aren’t finding you or even mentioning that great sale you posted about – Uggh!

Laura & Kristi know the frustrations that business owners’ face when trying to develop & manage their online marketing & social media.  Typically, a business owner just jumps right in, without considering the strategy.  That’s okay, and sometimes it works, but most often you get frustrated and abandon your social media or jump around focusing on different social networks.  Facebook, then Twitter, now LinkedIn or blogging.

The missing element is the online marketing strategy. You might think, I am an expert in my industry, there isn’t another widget service that compares to mine, so I don’t need help in this area with my marketing message or strategy.  You are right, your knowledge goes along way with connecting to your customers and potential customers, sometimes it is just finding those customers and communicating with them the way they want. The customers terms, not yours.
