Follow The Three P's Of Marketing

Follow The Three P's Of Marketing
When it comes to increasing customer awareness of your
product or services you must review all areas of marketing.
Three main components to ensure marketing success are the
areas of product, price and promotion. By assessing each of
these specific areas you will be able to provide detailed
information towards your marketing campaign or marketing
strategy.

PRODUCT

You may have complete faith in your product or service, but
without the proper research you may find yourself let down.
You have to know for certain if your product or service is
of interest to the consumer. Is it useful and appealing?
What type of competition do you have with this
product/service? What makes yours unique and different from
other similar items? If you skip over these questions you
may find yourself struggling to make a sale.

PRICE

Similar to the questions you ask concerning your product,
you'll want to do the same for your price. What is the
pricing of your competitors products? Can you afford to
price lower or must you keep an even amount? You want to do
research and compare the prices of all of the competitors
in your local area and online. This will allow you to
understand the highest and the lowest amounts you can
charge per item.

PROMOTION

Promoting a product is a must. If you were to focus on one
area alone, this would be it. If you do not promote or
advertise your business, customers will never know about
your offers. If a customer is not aware of your product or
service, how can they ever make a purchase? There are
numerous methods for advertising your business. You can
keep the cost of basic methods such as business cards,
flyers or brochures down by printing them in your home
office. Promoting online can reach a global market and is
less costly than a local newspaper advertisement. Review
your options and choose the options that best suit your
needs and budget. Even a minute amount of advertising can
bring about your first wave of customers. After this, word
of mouth will be a great help to your business.

Once you have taken the necessary time to review product,
price and promotion details, you'll be ready to build your
marketing strategy. You'll be aware of the funds you have
available and which areas you wish to apply them. Once you
begin you will want to keep track in some way of how your
customers heard about your product or service. This allows
you to see which form of advertising brought about the most
customer awareness.

You will be prepared for future promotions and business
success. You'll be able to sit down with employees or
business counterparts and show them why you run your
marketing the way that you do, with proof of its
effectiveness. This information could come in handy when
applying for a business loan. A loan officer would be
pleased to see that you have all of your information
readily available and proof to back up your results. You
could be prepared to watch your business grow and you will
be ready to market your expansion.
