Despite our long held view that marketing is:

‘A process, NOT an event’…

…the reality for most SME businesses is that their marketing tends to be a series of  (at best) loosely connected events:

• Build a Website
• Do some web marketing
• Place an advert
• Do some networking
• Do a mailshot
• Build some Social Media Contacts

etc., etc… Yet consult any successful business owner and you will always get the same answer:

Make sure you have a plan and make sure you drive it!

This doesn’t mean set an action plan then blindly stick to it; There is always room for the creativity that can keep you on track and make good into great. The key thing is that a documented strategy  gives you focus and a basis on which to reflect future decisions and avoid the drift away from your core objectives that only becomes visible when it is too late!
