What do you mean, results-driven?
Very simply, Market Consultants understand that marketing efforts must generate a return. Marketing should be planned and executed to achieve your goals. It is a bottom-line, objectives-driven activity. Marketing gains you customers, clients and/or members, sells products and services, produces revenue, and earns repeat business. In order to achieve results, Market consultants takes a very targeted, focused approach. And it is this targeted, focused marketing approach that generates superior results, in shorter time frames, using fewer resources.

Do they guarantee results?
No. Unfortunately, marketing doesn’t come with guarantees. All the more reason you need expert guidance. After all, marketing is the single most important activity affecting the health and success of the organization.

Marketing isn’t an intuitive exercise. People are far from predictable. But with a sound combination of experience and knowledge, a solid plan of action and a degree of patience, in most cases, results can be expected.

What is the single most critical factor to successful marketing?
That’s a tough one to answer because success is in the details. Research, timing, message, motivation, reach and frequency, follow-up, testing, sound data base management, results tracking, customer service and follow-up, – it’s all important. But I do believe the most important factor is a targeted approach. It is important to narrowly define a single target market. It is this definition of the market that is truly critical to success.

One example: a financial planner once said to the consultant “I know exactly who my target market is and it’s a very well-defined market. It’s everyone between the ages of 25 and 60 with earned income.” Now, this is an excellent example of what not to do. By trying to address a hugely diverse market, this financial planner wasn’t successful.

Another individual went to great lengths and effort to obtain the background and schooling to become an expert in his field. When he launched his own business, we outlined a sound, simple and workable marketing strategy for him to follow. Yet in subsequent discussions, he learned the plan wasn’t being implemented because “something else always got in the way.” Marketing must happen, on schedule and as planned, regardless what else occurs. It requires commitment, discipline and focus.

So, a strong focus and targeted market are key. Focus is required for action and targeting is key to ensure results. Together, you have a winning combination. Market Insight will target your market and focus your efforts to gain results.

So, how do you go about defining the target market?
First, research the subject and on an on-going basis, continue to research the market. Markets do not remain static. Test what you learn. Then incorporate that information into your plan. Test against what you know to work. Isolate the changes and test every step of the process.

Next, track and measure response. Record results and maintain the data.

Then finally, evaluate the results in light of everything you know. Identify the demographics, lifestyles and interests common to the group. Let that be the first step in the definition. Then narrow the definition further.
