Will You Add? - Creating a Foundation for Your Marketing
It seems that every year I have to remind my e-tail clients to prepare for the upcoming season because while it’s still sunny and warm out, they aren’t thinking Christmas (conversely, they aren’t thinking summertime in the middle of February either).But from a search engine perspective one must prepare a few months in advance of the season to ensure they reach their full potential.All to often business has to be turned away because an online retailer comes to my compa

The reason it is hard to believe is because we are confronted with daily headlines about greedy CEOs, profiteering multi-nationals and selfish companies of all sizes.The reason it is hard to follow is because too many business people take
A marketing calendar is the key to bringing your value proposition to life.
Intelligent marketing is marketing based on your firm’s core idea—or value proposition. “What is the main benefit you offer your clients?”
Every one of your marketing weapons must be an extension of your value proposition. Advertising, stationary, direct mail, telephone marketing, signs, web site, all must support your value proposition.
To do this, you need to have a focused strategy. Your marketing calendar propels you to your goal by coordinating your marketing weapons in an orderly, logical manner.
Benefits
Among the benefits calendars offer: • Process, not event. Marketing calendars encourage on-going consistency rather than hit-or-miss marketing that never builds momentum and often results in lost opportunities.
• Freedom from budget surprises. Marketing calendars control your investment and help you avoid overspending or under-spending.
• No more “deadline madness.” Marketing calendars protect you from last-minute costs, stress, and surprises. Marketing calendars make planning, buying and staffing easy.
