Turn Your Marketing Ideas into Action for Success
Introduction
Marketing plans are essential for small business success, but they’re just the start. Without action, even the best strategies won’t yield results.
What Marketing Should Achieve
Marketing is meant to help:
- Build brand awareness
- Increase name recognition
- Expand market share
- Attract more clients
- Generate referrals
- Boost repeat business
You might have tried brochures, ads, or networking without success and stopped. Advice often comes unsolicited and sometimes from those who lack experience. So, why isn’t your marketing happening? Running and growing a business involves numerous responsibilities.
Perhaps you’re stuck overanalyzing, aiming for perfection, or fearing failure. If this sounds familiar, your ideas likely never move forward, and your business dreams remain unfulfilled.
Beware of Action Without Ideas
On the flip side, action without a solid plan can lead to busywork without growth. While taking steps is better than inaction, you might not get the results you need.
How to Put Ideas into Action
You need more than plans. Here are three strategies to start implementing your marketing ideas:
1. Develop a Simple Action Plan
An action plan translates your “what” into actionable tasks. It should detail the activities needed to achieve your objectives. Consider starting with a checklist of marketing activities. Track your progress by checking off completed tasks.
If a checklist isn’t enough, delve deeper:
- Identify three primary outcomes you want in the next six months.
- For each outcome, pinpoint three things to achieve in the next 90 days.
- Break these down into tasks for the next 30 days, assigning completion dates.
This transforms your vision into a roadmap for progress.
2. Create a Marketing Focus Calendar
Schedule tasks on a calendar. Many small businesses falter by becoming overwhelmed by everything that needs doing.
Select a manageable number of strategies you feel confident will be productive. Decide on their frequency, like attending five networking events monthly or sending one newsletter.
Commit to a few significant activities each month and ensure a balanced approach. Visualize your plan and hang the calendar near your workspace for motivation.
3. Schedule Marketing Appointments
Block out regular time in your calendar for marketing, just like you would for a key client. Consistent effort is necessary for results. Don’t reschedule these appointments easily.
Treat this time as sacrosanct. If conflicts arise, firmly state that you’re already booked. Hold yourself accountable and use this time productively to turn ideas into actionable plans.
Conclusion
By scheduling dedicated time, you’ll likely find yourself eagerly anticipating it as your ideas turn into action and results. Remember, even a little action today can set you on the path to better marketing outcomes. Ready to take your first step? Go for it!
