Winning the Game: Your Strategic Marketing Plan

If you want your small business to compete with the "big boys" you should have a "strategic marketing plan." A strategic marketing plan basically spells out how you will use your available resources to meet your company's stated goals and objectives. (You do have goals right? If not that's a topic for another article.) Here's what you need:

1) State your Objectives:

Companies usually set objectives in terms of desired profit, total sales, or market share. Profit tends to be the most popular company focus. Market share refers to how much of the market you snag compared to your competitors. Other objectives can be your total sales, number of loyal customers, or customer satisfaction. Company objectives always provide a time frame and are verifiable which is why objectives are usually stated in percentages and dollar signs.

2) Situation Analysis:

Looks at the current business environment and can be elaborate or very simple. The components examined are competition, the size of the market, types of customers, channels of distribution, and economic conditions. By taking an overview of the whole picture and stating your strengths and weaknesses, you'll have a clearer understanding of how well your company will compete.

3) Target Market:

Who are your customers? Your company can't sell to everyone, so you need to decide what part of the market segment you're going to serve. A thorough understanding of who your customers are and how to find them are imperative to your company's success. Look at demographics such as how much money they make, where they live, how much education they have, etc.

4) Positioning:

The picture created in your customer's eyes about your company's products/services. When you think of positioning, think of "image." Positioning is very important in today's competitive world. Corporate marketing teams will often use positioning strategies when trying to target different target markets.

5) Marketing Mix:

The final step is to develop plans for each aspect of the marketing mix and integrate them into your company's overall strategy. So, what's in the marketing mix you ask? They consist of the "Four P's":

Product
Place
Promotion
Price

You must use all four elements of the mix in your strategy plan and devise a plan is needed for each. When you're developing plans for each element, ask yourself the following types of questions.

A) Product/ What new products can we introduce? What type of service do our customers expect? What should our return policy be?

B) Place/ What types of places should carry our products? How will we get our products to our customers? How will we handle complaints?

C) Promotion/ What am I trying to accomplish through my promotion objectives? Branding? More sales? something else? What types of media should we use to advertise radio, TV, print, ect.

D) Price/ How will my product/service be priced in comparison to my competitors? Can I make a profit at this price level?

By keeping all of the above in mind you'll design a strategic marketing plan that allows you to win the game and compete with your competitors.

Running a business, just like a game, relies on good strategy........It's your move....

Diamond Shield Paint Sealant/ Protectant

Diamond Shield Paint Sealant/ Protectant
Diamond Shield is technically a highly refined paint sealant system, not a wax nor a polish. It was specifically developed to greatly extend the life of your paint and to produce a superior shine. You apply it once a year, no more. Better yet, the application of Diamond Shield is incredibly easy. Its a simple 2 step process that takes about one-quarter the time of normal car waxing. You begin by applying simply applying the Diamond Shield Cleaner and Deoxidizer to a clean surface. Simply wipe it on with a wet sponge, allow it to dry and then wipe it off. Thats all there is to it. There is no heavy rubbing, no abrasives to damage your paint and no harmful chemicals. This totally unique patented formula thoroughly cleans the paint and removes oxidation, tar, grime, bugs and virtually anything else that has stuck to the surface. Now your paint is amazingly shiny clean, smooth and ready for Diamond Shield Paint Sealant. Again, you simply sponge the Diamond Shield Paint Sealant on, allow it to dry and the easily wipe it off. No heavy rubbing or buffing, very little work. But dont be fooled, just because you havent worked nearly as hard as you would had you chosen to wax, doesnt mean you havent done something terrific for your cars finish. You see, unlike wax which temporarily improves your cars appearance at the expense of its paint job, with Diamond Shield youve professionally sealed the paint and mirror-like shine. Youve just laid down a five micron seal that contains a patented blend of aromatic silicones, polymers, UV sun blockers, anti-oxidizers, and high tech paint protectors. And as stated, Diamond Shield wont wash off. It lasts for a full year. And during that year Diamond Shield is guaranteed to protect your cars finish from: - Ultraviolet Rays, Frost, Road Salt, Acid Rain, Dirt, Dust, Bird Droppings, Tree Sap, Tar, Asphalt, Road Oil, Vehicle Fluids (engine oil, transmission & brake fluid, gasoline, anti-freeze, etc)

Customer Review: Beautiful Results & Fantastic Protection

This product worked much better than I ever expected, even though it was recommended to me by a friend. I have a classic 68 Chevelle (& 2005 pickup) that I consider my baby. I am very picky when it comes to the brand of cleaners and protectors that I use on it so I was skeptical about it even though it came recommended. I first used it on my truck and was very surprised about how easy it was to apply and even more so about how easy it was to remove. Still not confident enough to use on my baby, I figure I'll give it a couple weeks to see how it holds up on my truck and to make 100% sure I figure I'll try it on my sons car which is an older car with oxidized faded paint. I first used the deoxidiser/cleaner on the car and almost fell over how much better and shinier the red paint looked and that was before the protectant was even applied. I think I'll have to send the boy a bill for the new looking paint his car now has. Well this convinced me and I have been protecting my car with Diamond Shield for a couple years now and would not even think about using anything else. Also, even though it wouldn't matter to me cuz I love detailing my vehicles (a weirdo, I know) the protection lasts longer then any other product I've used in the past 25+ years.

Fireman 3.0 provides system backup, audio recording, DVD authoring, DVD player and supports LightScribe. Free bonus software - DVD Player 2.0 and DVD Authoring Studio 2.0 included. Product Information - Software Sub Type: Media Management/Conversion - Software Name: Fireman v.3.0 - Complete Product - Features and Benefits: - Create WMA CD/DVD - Create system backup/recovery discs - Make bootable CD/DVDs - Menu creation - Make photo slideshow DVD - Import audio from CD - DVD Player - CD/DVD label maker - Personalize your CD/DVD with LightScribe - Improved burning engine - Improved data processing speed - Mixed mode - Make movie files - Tray Icon operation - CD - Quick start guide - Platform Support: PC License Information - License Type: Complete Product Miscellaneous - Compatibility: File Format Supported: - MP3 - ISO images

Customer Review: Best One for the Buck$!

I don't have floppy drive either but I was able to use all other features on the Fireman 3.0. The UI was easy to understand and burning was painless and quick. ISO image burning is the most favorite feature on top of LightScribe although those special CD or DVD's are expensive. For under $20, I think this is the best software one can buy, and it's the only software that I can use it on regular basis.



I recommend people to try free trial version before making the purchase anyhow. (Don't buy, ready manual and then dump! hehe)



Customer Review: Misleading performance claim(s?) ... donate money to charity instead

After reading the several disappointing reviews of its version 2.0 predecessor, I wasn't too anxious about retiring my venerable Roxio CD/DVD burner software quite yet. But version 3.0 caught my eye with a whole new slew of enticing enhancements, of which "makes bootable CD or DVD" proved the clincher.



Fortunately, I was saved from uninstalling the old-timer by first checking the printed instruction booklet. Turns out that the bootable media claim is correct indeed, but its capabilities are strictly limited to copying a bootable floppy disk [what's that?] from the floppy disk drive, and Fireman would bravely fire away and burn the image to CD/DVD. WOW! Not a word about copying from hard drive, let alone generating, an *.iso system file - this super-duper feature is limited strictly to floppies. As I neither own a bootable floppy nor a floppy drive (those went out in the 90's), I didn't even bother to install Fireman, and tossed forty bucks into the trash can. Windows-XP will do most of the other CD-burning tricks, and Vista even includes Microsoft's Media Player. Forget it!!

One-Two-Three Punch Marketing

Printed material is just as important today as it was before the Internet. With sp*a*m getting out of hand, its a wise choice to rev up, update or create printed material, ads, catalogs, direct mail, press releases, letters, templates
and the like.

You will notice that I didn't add brochures to this list. Brochures are not a good investment for a first piece. When someone asks for a brochure and you don't have one, this doesn't mean you ignore their request. Worse scenario, you may run wildly around using up a large portion of your years marketing budget completing one.

If you move or update your materials frequently, it isn't wise to spend thousands of dollars on new material. Here are a few alternatives. You can use a professionally created folding business card as a main document. Another option to expensive letterhead is to print your own in a two-pass process. Use a color printer in the first pass for your logo and use a black and white pass through for the content. Use Kinko's if you don't have a color printer (http://www.kinkos.com). At Kinkos you can send them a file via Internet, have them print the color portion on high quality paper.

Mailing out a marketing piece weeks after your first contact is too late. When opportunity knocks, be ready. Timing is everything. If you don't, the extra time allows them to solve the issue on their own, or change its priority.

It is always preferable to have a serious phone discussion even before an in-person meeting. If they don't show up for the call, it is easier to recoup your time, and it indicates they aren't ready to buy. All you need to do is follow-up lightly to remind them to contact you when the time is right. Send them a newsletter, template letter, or flyer and not expensive material. People generally toss items they receive on the first punch. Save the best for a time when the punch is more effective. Multi-follow-ups show them that you aren't a fly-by-night going-to-fad-in-the- next-few-months provider.

Giving too much information early in the marketing process overwhelms customers and jeopardizes the sale. It makes them nervous about you. This is, of course, if you are selling services or products worth more than whatever your market considers discretionary.

Instead, create a call to action to get them to visit your web site periodically, send them an "I'm still here for you when you are ready" note, or a printed copy of your latest newsletter or ezine.

Selling a product? Send an oversized post card or direct mail piece. The direct mail piece needs to use an "I'm- following-up" language and not a "you-never-met-us-yet" dialogue.

Have template letters, Word or Act, ready to go with a few clicks. Design them so the first or second paragraphs are easy to add a personalized follow-up dialogue.

When you drive along the same route and one day you spot something that seems new, only later discover its been there all along you are pleasantly surprised. For even when we seem fully awake, many things pass our radar. .

In marketing, it is the same experience. We don't see something thats been there until something happens and wakes us up. The seven-times rule, a proven marketing principle, is the "you have demonstrated credibility" and "I now see you" model. The seven-time rule applies whether the main marketing draw is a web site, networking, direct mail, or a combination. People who don't like to sell stop after the first or second punch.

Printed materials do indicate credibility and quality counts in most cases. If you post your brochures at your States visitors center, you will see that they stand next to many similar ones. What stands out are the one-half page black and white flyers or the like. In this situation, the plain black and whites get the attention of many. It is important to know how, when, and where your materials are going to be viewed and be represented.

For mailings, this doesn't mean send the best stuff first and let it do the sale for you. No, no, no. Printed material seldom makes the sale. Its just another contact point. First punches are either tossed or buried in some stack.

If your price is under $100, send them to your web site. Over, send them material for added credibility. This also depends on the target market value of your price. If your market considers $500 a drop in the bucket then credibility perception changes.

Interview past purchasers. Find out when did they first take notice and how many before they took action. Was it when they received a certain number of contacts? Always. When did the need make it a priority. Create a list of the triggers and look for those signs in future contacts. Model your follow-up program accordingly.

In several studies, 92% of the purchase makers cited that letterhead, envelopes and business cards where the major factors in how they rated creditability.

Credibility can be lost if your material includes careless mistakes or omits vital information. In the buyers perspective, all the answers need to lead on how they can feel confident about your service or product and how it solves their need.

One of my services is printed material and web site analysis. After reviewing 294 brochures, I found 81.5% of the information dancing around solutions instead of commitment to direct and clear solutions. Non-commitment is the biggest sales destroyers. Don't send them material about X when they inquired about Y. If it doesn't answer Y, its tossed. And you have 30 seconds to 3 minutes to complete their question. Long sales letters demonstrate commitment in receivers minds because of the thought and care it took to create and address their challenge.

Also, don't send Y, with the "I think we need to offer this because we've received a few inquires lately even if its off our path" feeling. If you are unable to fit in the time to write a letter explaining how and why you can provide Y, then pass it up. This may be a "good" opportunity but not be the "great" opportunity you truly want to attract.

If, on the other hand, their issue isn't clearly understood or known, then you're asking the horse to jump the fence without knowing how height. Its a wasted effort and you can
lame the horse. Don't mail it with an "if it works, okay, if it doesn't oh well" energy. This gives the impression that you weren't listening. A big strike against you. Usually one too big to overcome.

For service businesses, it is best to complete your first contact verbally and follow-up with printed material once or twice, then verbally, then twice, etc. Give prospects the 1-2-3 punches if you have the answer. Be honest if you don't provide what they are seeking. Don't adjust and accommodate because sales are down for the month. This is a disservice to your customer and your business. This will diminish assets later. Share the wealth; earn a life-long customer, and new collaborator with your referral.

Don't Bug Me Patch (20/box)

Don't Bug Me Patch (20/box)
The "Don't Bug Me! Patch" is perfect for:

Outdoor enthusiasts
Busy families
Small children
Employees who work outdoors
People allergic to mosquito bites
People with sensitive skin
People who are in and out of the water

Customer Review: They didn't bug me (mostly)

I bought this product before a family vacation back in July. My husband isn't bothered by mosquitos and such and likes to spend a lot of time outdoors, but the kids and I always end up bitten. We wore the patch through swimming, hiking in the woods and playing, and into the evening hours (to watch 4th of July fireworks). We had 2 bites between the three of us-- a LOT less than usual, especially considering that at home I usually get bitten within 5 minutes of setting foot outside.



Minuses: You DO smell like vitamins after a while. I didn't notice it much while I wearing it, but when the kids wore it separately, I could smell it as soon as they walked up to me. (Maybe I'll save it for when my girls are teenagers and going out on dates!)



Pluses: It works. It is convenient--just peel and stick. I removed half the paper liner at a time, and that kept the patch under control when applying it. I thought the kids would complain when I removed them, but it wasn't as bad as removing a band aid. (I put the patch on a hairless area, and used a steady pull, no sudden rips. Maybe the previous reviewer put it on a sensitive area? I have used the hip and thigh, and that seems to work OK.) It lasted all day. I didn't have to worry about bug spray on the kids (the younger one still sucks her thumb), or have to carry the spray can around.



So four stars instead of five because of the vitamin smell, and because we did get a couple of bites. It worked better for us than all but the strongest bug sprays (deep woods off), and was a lot more convenient. I will buy this produce again when the box runs out.



Customer Review: Don't Bug Me Patch

This product definitely did NOT work for me. I even used 2 patches at a time as we are in an area with heavy mosquito population due to the rain. I personally would NOT recommend this product.

15 Minutes of Fame: Unconventional Marketing

Everyone has (within their lifetime) what Andy Warhol referred to as "fifteen minutes of fame", sometimes this fame comes by accident or through some effort of our own. No matter the case, each of us has our moment to shine. Your moment of "crowning glory" may have been in High School when you won an award or scored a winning point in sports. Later in life, you basked in the limelight of yours or a friends wedding. oops! You have had more than your allotted share of "fame"!

Can we have more than just one moment of fame? Yes, all through life, we have moments "of fame", they may not be huge elaborate headline-grabbing fame, but we are recognized for our accomplishments no matter how small they may seem to be. Peers, neighbors, relatives recognize us for little things that we have achieved all the time. Being recognized is our fame.

Recognition = FAME!

FAME is our reward.

Ok, you have encountered numerous moments of FAME, but has your web page or affiliate program had the same recognition?

Or, how do you get your product or service to be noticed on the Net, with thousands of other similar web sites?

As I mentioned earlier, fame comes by accident or through some effort of our own.

Most web sites are not merely noticed because someone discovers it, so we should probably rule out the possibility that your web site will accidentally become famous. So, that leaves us with the second option, "fame comes through some effort of our own".

OK, you see where I am going with this: search engine optimization! Dang, can't pull the wool over your eyes! WRONG, we are NOT going there. We are about to make your product or service famous! We are going to create FAME for your web site!

Here are two statements that you have heard before in various advertisements:

"Everything goes better with COKE!"

"Pepsi: choice of a new generation"

Two similar products, each trying to get YOUR attention! Each company has positioned their product in your mind. Each product is famous and recognized by a short simple statement.

Everyday, you see advertisers telling us that their product or service is the BEST! No One Beats our Deals! Best Offer! Best Guarantee! Fastest Delivery! Well, we know who are the Best! But everyone can not be the best, someone has to be next to best or mediocre or even the worst, but they don't seem to be advertising.

A Pizza restaurant chain started a few years ago, and they positioned themselves in the eye of the public as "Second Best... so we have to work harder". I remember seeing a web site that said "We are the worst, but with your help we will improve", another "Our product stinks but our service is impeccable". I was so intrigued by their statements that I had to look at their web sites. And I purchased from these companies. They were honest and had a sense of humor.

Not everyone can be the BEST, someone has to be second, third and so on.

Look at your competition and rank your product or service against them. Maybe you have the UGLIEST web site, but you DELIVER! Possibly you have a SUCKY product, so you give lots of EXTRA FREEBIES. Position your product behind your competition. Position yourself honestly and with humor and your web site could soon see it's "fifteen minutes of fame".

Capitalize on your unique marketing position, include your position statement in your advertising, your search engine submissions, in your email signatures. Make your MARK on the Net with a unique positioning statement. Let 'em know that you ain't the best, but you have the guts to work yer way up!

So, where does your product or service rank among your competition?

Customer Review: THEY DO NOT REALLY HAVE THIS DEVICE

I ordered this item and was instead shipped the BT2000D-CF

That additional "D" in the model name is very important - it signals the switch to a different chipset that is NOT supported by anywhere near as many devices.

Customer Review: Its being returned tomorrow!

Bought it at Fry's in anticipation that it would work on my J720. What a waste of time and money! The drivers for HPC2000 were not even on the CD-ROM so I had to google to find them. And after I installed them on my Jornada the blasted thing did not even work! And on top of all this, AmbiCom no longer supports the card! If they no longer support it, why do they still sell the card in retail stores?



What a waste!

SUNGUARD Wipes SPF 30 Towelettes

These easy-to-use towelettes leave skin moist and supple, while also protecting against sunburn. They contain no messy lotions or sprays that can invade your eyes, and just one wipe will cover the entire body.

Customer Review: Great container

I bought this for my father. There are a couple of different SPF towelettes on the market, but I purchased this one because the container would stand up to be tossed around my dad's truck, and the flip top would be easiest to close for even the most impatient of men. However, it took a long time to get to him. Amazon told me that it would, but I was still unhappy with the wait.
