Notas do Editor
- It’s a roadmap for success. It’s provide guidance so marketing happens in a structured way. It establishes goals and articulates what you’re doing.
- Throwing things at the wall to see what sticks. Doing a lot of different things at the same time without a plan of attack. Not doing marketing
- No marketing strategy is a road to nowhere. It wastes time, money and resources because there’s no guarantee what you’re doing is relevant or right. It puts the cart before the horse.
