What Redwood's small business marketing services can do for you

Attracting new customers and keeping existing customers coming back for more is a challenge for any business but especially so for small businesses who often feel that they don't have the time and resources to invest in marketing activities.

The plain old truth is though that if you fail to market your business the chances are high that your business will fail.

Luckily there are lots of marketing activities that small businesses can do that don't cost the earth - more often than not it's all about being organised and spotting everyday occurrences as the marketing opportunities that they really are.  Marketing isn't all about the big idea and the quick sale, it's about consistently and persistently chasing 'the relationship', and luckily, that doesn't have to be expensive.

Marketing strategy

A marketing strategy may sound over the top and unnecessary for a small business but if you don't know where you're going, it's likely you'll end up somewhere else and being direction-less is not going to bring your business more custom. Your marketing strategy will give your activities focus and direction.

Marketing audit

Once we know where your business is going we'll do a marketing audit to find out what you're already doing that's supporting your strategy, what's working, what's not, what resources/capacity you have and we'll also see if we can identify any other opportunities that may be available to you.

Marketing plan

Following the marketing audit we'll put together a realistic marketing plan for you to follow.  It will include specifics like who, what, when, how, and the frequency of methods.  It will also include testing and monitoring ideas and specifics so we'll be able to find out what's working for your business and then hopefully keep improving it.

Testing & monitoring

Please know right from the outset that there is no marketing 'dead cert' - your marketing plan is just that, it is a plan of attack, it is not THE answer.  Of course it will be a plan that 'ought' to work for your business based upon previous knowledge and experience - it will be full of things that have worked for similar businesses to your own but that isn't a guarantee of success.  Testing and monitoring your marketing activities is crucial to your business - it is testing and monitoring that will turn your marketing plan into a successful marketing plan.  Successful marketing is all about finding out what works for YOUR business and then doing more of it ... and then, trying to do it better - and you'll only find that out by testing and monitoring the marketing activities you do.
