A simple, clear strategy for small business growth
You’re a small business owner feeling overwhelmed by marketing and hating the fact that you have to do sales. You can get this sorted just like that. Honest. Marketing doesn’t have to be complicated. It just needs to be clear, consistent, and aligned with your goals.
Growth starts when you’re clear, stand out, and speak to the right people. This article breaks down our proven framework into simple steps to help you do just that.
Step 1: Get clear on what you do best
Clarity is the foundation of every successful marketing strategy. Ask yourself:
- What does your business do best?
- What’s your main focus?
- What naturally leads into other products or services?
Try this fill-in-the-blank formula:
“We’re best at [what your business does best], with a main focus on [your core product/service], which naturally leads into [related products/services].”
This simple statement helps shape your proposition, articulate your value and aligns your marketing messages for consistency.
Step 2: Be different and stand out
There can be a million and one people or businesses out there doing what you do, so what! You’re not interested in them, you’re interested in you and your business. No one will ever be you. No one will have walked the exact same path as you. No one delivers a product or service the way that you do. This is where your energy is best placed, not comparisonitis. Seriously! Don’t do it to yourself.
Being different isn’t optional, it’s essential.
Now give this a go…
“Customers choose us because [what makes your approach, style, or results different from what others offer].”
Whether it’s your process, personality, or pricing, make sure your difference is clear and compelling.
Stand out for what you do best.
Step3: Attract the right customers
Now you’re clear and different, you can connect with the people who most need you.
Answer this…
“We help [target audience] solve [specific problem] by [your unique approach or offer].” This is where your marketing becomes magnetic. Your messaging should speak directly to your ideal clients, your perfect types of customers and clients. The ones you do the best business with as well as make a profit.
Why this matters
Businesses with a documented strategy are over 500% more likely to succeed. That’s why strategies and action plans matter, they make the biggest difference. Everything you do when it comes to your business and marketing should connect to a strategy and goals, otherwise what’s the point?
An approach built on simplicity, sustainability, and strategic action is a winner. It helps make everything easier when it comes to marketing, from developing your brand to building your website. And it saves so much time, money and mistakes, as well as keeping you sane.
Build a business that’s not just visible, it’s valuable.
