Marketing in a changing world
We all dislike change in one form or another. It disrupts our lives, moves us out of our comfort zones. But like it or not we live in a changing world. And that applies to the business world as well as our personal lives.
 
When it comes to marketing, change drives our behaviour, and our behaviour drives the way in which people and businesses  make buying decisions.
 
As such, a business that ignores the impact of the changing world around it is doomed to failure. But a business that is prepared to adapt to a changing world is more likely to prosper.
 
It won't happen to me!
 
It can happen to any business, even the big brands. A recent high profile business that failed to adapt to change is Woolworths. But there are other big brands like Kodak and Boeing, who although they haven't disappeared have lost their dominant market positions to competitors who were quicker to adapt to market changes.
 
On a smaller scale you can probably think of some of your comepetitors who have disappeared because they failed to adapt to change.
 
How to succeed in a changing world.
 

The key to success is planning for change. Part of any effective marketing plan will include a SWOT analysis that looks at your:


  • Strengths
  • Weaknesses
  • Opportunities
  • Threats


Your marketing plan should also include a contingency plan that lays out the way you will adapt to changes in the economy, your business and your markets. Without this a marketing plan can quickly become redundant.

 

Helping you include these vital elements in your marketing plan is part of the service I offer. Speak to me now about how I can help your business thrive during change. Ring 0845 47 47 486 or contact me here.
How to turn change into a business opportunity
The world around us is changing faster than you think.
 
Is your business keeping up? Of course you can't second guess every possible change, but you can plan how your business will cope with change.
 
A flexible marketing plan, as part of an equally flexible business plan, is central to making sure your business adapts to change and takes advantage of change to move your business ahead of your competitors.
 
This is where I can help. Writing or reviewing your marketing plan to make sure it can benefit from change is one of the central services I offer. Let me take your concerns about planning for change from you and turn change from a challenge into an opportunity.
