Without a marketing plan you're wasting resources

 

craft a Plan to Succeed

​

An Instagram post here, an email there with some banner ads thrown in for good measure… that’s not marketing, that’s dabbling and it’s a waste of your resources. If you need a real marketing plan, I can help you build one.

Win New Customers Consistently

​

The right marketing plan marshals your resources and focuses them on meeting your most important business goals. I’ll help your team gather input from across your enterprise to answer these questions:

​

  • What are your goals for communications and financials?

  • Are you prepared to win? Does your organization have the tools and people it takes to succeed with marketing? We’ll account for staffing, budgets, culture, willpower, and executive support. And if these are lacking, we’ll address them first.

  • Are you communicating product features as customer benefits? We’ll map how product features translate into customer benefits which leads to messaging.

  • What marketing message will connect with sales prospects? The right message is succinct and motivating for potential customers.

  • Are you budgeting to succeed? We’ll build a budget that aligns with your goals. 

  • Is marketing integrated with sales? Once leads are generated, how will they be handed off to the closers?

  • What’s the media plan? This is where the rubber hits the road- where are you going to advertise and what are the tactics?

  • Are you getting ROI on your marketing investment? We’ll make sure you have the data that shows how the plan is performing.

​

Some clients need help transforming their marketing team from the inside. For these assignments, J. Walker Marketing offers Fractional CMO Services where we provide an interim marketing manager for your team.
