Marketing Strategy and Tips

Product
Describe your product. How does your product relate to the market? What does your market need, what do they currently use, what do they need above and beyond current use?

Competition
Describe your competition. Develop your "unique selling proposition." What makes you stand apart from your competition? What is your competition doing about branding and positioning?

Write a few sentences that state:
• "Key market" - who you're selling to
• "Contribution" - what you're selling
• "Distinction" - your unique selling proposition

Pricing, Positioning and Branding
From the information collected, establish strategies for determining the price of your product, where your product will be positioned in the market and how you will achieve brand awareness.

Budget
Budget your dollars. What strategies can you afford? How much can you afford to spend per month?

Marketing Goals
Establish quantifiable marketing goals. This means goals that you can turn into numbers. For instance, your goal might be to gain at least 10 new clients each month or to generate 100 leads per month.
