👉 Build a strong marketing foundation across multiple different channels.
👉 Give your comprehensive marketing strategy enough time to work.
👉 Every element of your marketing strategy must work together.
We have seen this over and over again. Businesses come to us because they need to increase leads. They had been relying on one or two marketing channels exclusively, and then when one channel becomes ineffective, the stress of the situation causes them to reach out.
In our opinion, the solution is one that is straightforward and takes time to build, and clients often push back. They need the leads now, which we do appreciate, but you won’t break the cycle of depending on one or two marketing channels if you don’t take step back. If you need more leads, you need to appreciate that you need a strong marketing foundation. Only then can you stop chasing results. Here’s a look at how this works.
Build a Foundation That Supports Multiple Channels
Look, we know that businesses ebb and flow when it comes to interest surrounding what they do. This is something that is a constant for just about every business we’ve come across. However, those that have taken the time to build their marketing foundation can weather these times a lot easier than those who haven’t.
The reason why this works is because a strong digital marketing strategy spreads visibility and opportunity across multiple marketing channels, and they all relate to each other in some way. Efforts done for content marketing, for example, positively impact SEO, AI visibility, social media, and even paid advertising efforts. That’s just one example, but it shows you the importance of working on your marketing from a holistic perspective.
Give Marketing Enough Time to Create Stability
One of the most difficult parts of this strategic way of thinking is that it can be difficult to take a step back and tackle all of the foundational elements. It feels like starting from scratch, and the work can take a while to truly pay off. The first month or so (or whatever it is) feels like a lot of activity with no payoff. This can be demoralizing, and it causes marketing teams to quit before they start to see the payoff.
The results will come, but it takes time to create this level of stability in your marketing. You need to give it enough time! The results will start to happen, and the growth may be slow at first, but this is what is needed to create a stable, effective, and comprehensive marketing strategy.
Build More Resilience Into Your Marketing
Once your foundation is in place, by default your marketing will be more resilient because you will stop relying on any one channel. It gives each part of your marketing a chance to work together and enhance together. For example, we’ve had clients report that they were confused why a PPC ad campaign was resulting in clicks to the page, but nobody took action. In looking at the page, it’s clear that they didn’t put a lot of thought in the conversion elements on the page, so the visitors had no idea what was going on. The landing page was on the website. This is an example of how things work together, and it’s one example of many. Everything in marketing works together.
Work on everything at once, and you can stop chasing results. Your marketing will enhance each other, and it will all work together. There are no tactics, only strategy and implementation.
