The Marketing Struggle


For entrepreneurs and small business owners marketing can be a big struggle. Taking the time to create and develop a strategy is just the first step.  Execution and consistently take the matter to a whole other level. When you’re running your own business alone, this becomes even more difficult. Things like, the time spent on customer service, inventory, staffing, banking, and billing seem to push marketing to the bottom of pile.


In the business world today more focus is being placed on “being in the market”, finding and making time for marketing is even more important.  Knowing how and where to start evaluating a marketing opportunity can involve a variety of factors. Each potential commitment should be appraised to gauge a variety of factors that will help you make an informed decision.

Features, cost, potential return, time investment, competition and length of commitment are all factors you need to keep in mind when thinking about a marketing channel, directory or tactic being “worth it.”  When time and effort are limited, it’s important to keep your eye on getting the biggest “bang for your buck.” Your marketing represents you and your company. Always make a good impression.
