SMALL BUSINESS
MARKETING STRATEGY -
Marketing is Strategy

(See Related Articles at Bottom of Page)

What is small business marketing strategy? Let's start by defining marketing as anything you do to promote your business. That's a pretty broad definition. Rightly so. Every aspect of your business is part of it.

Marketing is Strategy graphic Look at this chart. It shows a few subjects that fall under marketing's mighty influence. Online advertising, pricing, public relations, even social networking are all categories of it.

But marketing is more than just a bunch of categories. To be successful, think of marketing as synonymous with strategy. Your strategy guides, informs and directs every category that falls within it.

Packaging, website design, customer value management, even business card design; in fact, every aspect of your business must be based on strategy. If not, all of your efforts will lack coordination, synergy, efficiency and (most importantly), return on your investment.

But how do you develop the right small business strategy? Which is the best one for your business? How do you implement it? There are many resources on this website to guide you, including articles you'll find helpful.

And don't worry if developing a strategy seems a little overwhelming. This website is here to help you understand it all and grow your business. Whatever its size, and whatever size you dream it to become.
