The Three Fundamental Marketing Elements
The next marketing basic you need to grasp is the importance
of the
three fundamental marketing elements. These elements are
essential components of every marketing strategy and tactic
you will ever utilize to grow you small business. They are
the foundation of which all your marketing basics built:
- Your Marketing Message
- Your Target Marketing
- Your Marketing Media
Your marketing message is what you communicate about your
product or service to a particular audience. It is based on
a list of compelling, unique benefits that you offer to
those in your target marketing.
Your target market is the group of prospects who you
select to craft and deliver your message to. They are the
people whose need, pain, or challenge are the best match to
the solution you offer.
You deliver your message to the target market through
your media. The media can range from print advertising,
direct mail, broadcast, internet, email and a host of other
forms. No matter which you select it must be effective,
efficient, and affordable.
Your small business marketing cannot produce results if
one of these elements is missing. If you omit one of
these fundamental marketing elements it's like playing darts
in the dark. You may get lucky every once in a while but you
are not going to win.
The Four Critical Marketing
Basics
Along with these three fundamental marketing
elements, there are four critical marketing basics you must
apply to your business.
These are the essential principles
that will guide your marketing efforts. When you concentrate
on these and make them part of your daily operations, they
become habits that keep your marketing focused on what is
important.
It is crucial to your success that you
master these basics better than you competitors. By doing so
you put yourself in a position to execute better and achieve
victory in your marketplace.
