Q: I have a short deadline and know what I have to do. How important is a strategy before going to implementation?
A: Consider a strategy like a road map. Without one, you may eventually get to your destination but there is no direction and no guarantee. A strategy takes into consideration both short-and long-term business goals and ensures you make valid decisions on the direction of your implementation. Developing a strategy allows you to explore all the strengths and weaknesses of the initiative before implementation – often saving you money in the execution.

Q: When I review the money spent in my marketing budget last quarter, I cringe at the results – no increased sales. How can you improve my bottom line?
A: Less than expected sales results indicate that your marketing program is not touching the “pain point” for your customer. Through research and a strategic plan, you need to determine the value proposition to the customer and how your product can make their lives more efficient and productive. Many times, consumer brochures are very inwardly focused and tell the customer about the company without relating this information back to the customer needs; don’t make the customer have to figure out why your product is beneficial.
