It enables you to inform, educate and engage with prospective and current customers. And it enables you to have the broadest market reach to maximize your visibility and grow your business.

5 Stages of Successful Business Planning

I believe that successfully developing a business involves five stages of business planning and development . Stage 1 : Situation Analysis – Where are we now? In this first stage of business planning and development , you determine where the business is currently in terms of finance and general positioning. So, you’ll need to analyze not only the financial position, but also who the business is marketing their services or products to. Are they addressing a market that has a lot of disposable income or no? It gives you an idea of the general position of the business. Stage 2 : Business Objectives – Where do we want to go?

Achieving Your Business Objectives Requires A Holistic Marketing Strategy

Several weeks ago, a Harris Interactive poll found that 80% of the U.S. adult population, 184 million people, are now spending an average of 13 hours per week on the Internet—doubling since 1999. As the population continues to transition to using the Internet for business, purchases, finding information, and myriad personal uses, it is clear that traditional go-to-market strategies are no longer a guarantee that you will achieve your business objectives. In fact, with the continued explosion of Social Media the fundamental role of business marketing itself is shifting, from "advertising" to "engaging". One measure of this is--recent studies show that 78 percent of customers value recommendations from their peers, while only 14 percent trust traditional advertisements.
