Let's talk: mARKETING
Marketing is a word thats thrown around like nothing else in the business space. A lot of people don't even know what it means. The simple definition of marketing is "the activity or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.". That's it.
But the real question is, does your small business need it? Well, the answer to the question is depends on your answer to any of these:
-
Do you want more customers walking through your doors or visiting your website?
-
Do you feel like your business deserves more attention than it’s currently getting?
-
Are your competitors showing up online more than you are?
-
Do people struggle to find your business on Google or social media?
-
Are you spending time marketing but not seeing results?
-
Do you want a consistent and predictable flow of new customers?
-
Do you want your brand to look more professional and trustworthy online?
-
Is your business relying too heavily on word-of-mouth alone?
-
Do you want to free up your own time and stop trying to do everything yourself?
If you answered yes to any of these, then we'd say: yeah, you need marketing. If you're still not convinced, heres a few verified studies on the topic:
