I’m a new business – what do I need to start marketing?

This post was last edited by Alex Cohen, on July 6, 2010 @ 8:03 am

So you’ve decided to take that giant leap and set out in business for yourself. You know what you want to do; what product or service you’re selling and hopefully who you want to sell to. You also know that to get customers you need to market yourself; but where do you go from there?

We at Xander Marketing have created a proposition that we call a ‘Marketing Platform’. We’ve called it a ‘platform’ because once it is established you have a springboard from which to launch your marketing campaigns and help you plan and adjust your marketing for the future.

A Marketing Platform will vary from business to business but typically includes:

  • A brand that reflects your positioning in the market place, your values and that appeals to your target market
  • Branding portrayed through logos, themes and stationery
  • Marketing messages, taglines and statements which can be used throughout your website, marketing material and campaigns
  • A website which reflects your brand and can be used to generate new business
  • Marketing material including brochures, case studies and leaflets
  • A marketing strategy to launch marketing campaigns

This might sound a lot to begin with but when broken down into sizeable chunks it’s not so daunting. However if you need any help with your Marketing Platform we’re always full of good ideas and love sharing them so please contact us.
