Spring has almost sprung, but what about your sales? As flowers bloom and temperatures increase in the weeks ahead, your business can grow, too. Take a few steps to review what’s happening with your marketing and public relations’ activities now so you can get the results you want this fresh new season.
S-cintillate!
What can you offer your targeted audience members that will make them take notice and act?
What makes you unique?
Think about what sets you apart from the competition and focus on these qualities. How can you use your special qualities to provide value to your target market that they can’t get anywhere else?
Take some time to brainstorm and be creative. When the ideas flow, write them down!
P-repare!
Once you know what to offer your customers, prepare your messaging.
How will you let them know what you have to offer?
Will you distribute a press release, write an article, post on social media, mail a postcard, and send emails?
What will your targeted audience members respond to the most?
Get ready and then…
R-each out!
Communicate the new products or services you’re offering to your audience and see how they react. Let everyone who matters know the unique value you provide.
Be proactive and get your messaging out there and track the results.
Getting a good response? Keep going.
Not so good? Make changes, test the responses and repeat for the best results.
I-nspire!
Great! You’ve sent your fantastic message to your customers. But what about your internal customers? Inspire your team members by providing them with the meaning behind your new products and services. Let them know why they will make a difference in people’s lives and how they can help.
Be transparent and communicate results. Also, be sure to thank them for their support and hard work! Inspiration can do wonders for morale and company culture!
N-urture!
As things move forward in a positive direction, nurture your actions. Continue to promote your unique message, tweak the content and track data for the best results. Success evolves from ongoing communications. Don’t stop while you’re ahead!
G-row!
Ahh! Your efforts have paid off and you see sales growth. Congratulations! Spring has sprung for you, your team members and your business. Now, enjoy the smell of success!
For fresh, new results this spring, scintillate your audience with a unique offer, prepare your messaging and reach out to the people who matter most. In the process, inspire your team, nurture all of your marketing campaigns and watch sales grow!
