the good news
Marketing should not be done piecemeal, it should be well conceived, managed and monitored and the benefits made clear.
But that’s not what most people do.
They’ll play around with the odd mail shot here, the odd advert there. Maybe they’ve got a website but the chances are it doesn’t generate much business, because most of them don’t. Not because web sites don’t work, but because the vast majority are done badly. And we really do mean the vast majority, the common consensus being around 95%! Their image isn’t great because they don’t consider it important enough and customer service are merely words in a dictionary.
The good news is most marketing is poor, because if you do it well there really isn’t a lot to beat.
