Just when you were getting comfortable navigating the high seas of Facebook, Zuckerberg sends a tidal wave of new features and changes your way. This post is the first in a three-part series designed to give you a port during this storm of change.
Want to avoid the deadliest 3 marketing plan sins?
Time to talk to Burgess now.
Ask yourself honestly: which of these three pitfalls is keeping you from developing an effective marketing plan for 2012?
- Failure to launch: A great marketing plan takes preparation and foresight. Waiting till it’s too late can cost you dearly.
- Failure to reach: It takes extraordinary efforts to reach today’s busy, multitasking consumers and businesses. Using one single medium—e.g., TV spots, trade magazine ads or Google AdWords—alone probably won’t cut it.
- Failure to learn: Everyone knows you shouldn’t expect different results from the same tired approach. So make sure you explore new media, creative and PR ideas every chance you get.
At Burgess, we’ve helped dozens of clients plan effectively, on time and on budget. We know how to locate your best prospects, and how to talk to them persuasively.
