3 Questions you need to ask yourself:
1) What's your point of difference?
2) What makes you stand out from your competitors?
3) As the economy tightens - how is your message going to be heard?
We're in for some very challenging times over the next year or so and when times get tough, you need to become more clever, more aggressive, more vocal and more visual to secure market share or you may find that you become a statistic of this downturn. "The best way to become successful is to do what successful people do."
We know that unsuccessful companies:
- Cut Corners
- Slash advertising budgets
- Take cheap over quality
- Confuse their market with multiple messages
- They don’t have a clear point of difference
- They don't have a definable and clear corporate image
We find unsuccessful businesses try and be all things to all people, taking on board their daily business as well as being their own marketing manager, accountant, solicitor etc in a bid to save costs. It ends up costing more in time and money!
Successful companies do virtually the opposite!
Successful businesses
- Don't cut corners.
- Understand that if it's worth doing, it's worth doing well.
CEO's of successful companies spend the money for professionals to do a great job in the areas of marketing, accounting and legal advice and it pays off handsomely. The McDonalds and Coca Cola's of the world spend more in negative markets to increase awareness and market share as their competitors run for the hills.
Successful businesses have a clear brand proposition, the market knows clearly who they are and what they stand for - their point of difference and corporate image are very clear.
