6. Our Process
Marketing Approaches
Whether you need new business immediately or you want to build a long-term strategy, we can help!
Whether you’re just getting started or you run a seasoned company, we’ve seen it all!
Our process is flexible and inclusive, meaning we’re able to work with just about any small, local business in
the Seattle area. Usually the marketing consulting we do together will be variation of what we call
the “Create Approach” or the “Enable Approach”.
7. Marketing Approaches
Create Approach
Based on your core business goals, we’ll build an all-inclusive marketing plan from scratch. This process is for
those businesses that fit into one of these categories:
1. You have never marketed your business before but want to explore which options would work best for
your industry.
2. You have done some marketing in the past but stopped due to poor results.
3. You are doing some marketing currently but are in need of an updated strategy.
8. Marketing Approaches
Enable Approach
Based on an existing marketing plan, we’ll oversee and analyze advertising campaigns to ensure their
effectiveness. This process is for those businesses that fit into one of these categories:
1. You already have someone that handles marketing but the results are less than expected.
2. You have identified a strategy but have not begun execution of your plan for some reason.
3. You know you’re in need of a marketing advisory service to gauge the effectiveness of your current
campaigns.
9. Marketing Phases
3-Phase Marketing Process
We’ve developed a process specifically for small businesses to maximize marketing efforts in a way that is
progressive, trackable and transparent. We believe a steady foundation must be built before advanced
marketing measures can take place.
Consider this analogy: You’d love marble counter tops and bamboo flooring in your kitchen, right?
But would you agree that those things ought to wait until you’ve nailed down your home to its foundation?
10. Where To Start
Comprehensive Audit and Report
AUDIT: We’ll take a full week to review your current marketing strategy, past and current advertising
campaigns, opportunities you’re currently considering, and work to understand your primary business goals
and concerns when it comes to marketing.
REPORT: We combine this information with research about your industry, target demographic, services you
offer, and typical buyer behaviors to generate a comprehensive report. This report will detail your company’s
current marketing status and, depending on which approach we are starting with, offer insight and
suggestions as to how your marketing strategy ought to be updated or created from scratch. The report will
also include anticipated results, time frames and approximate costs.
