10 Most Common Marketing Mistakes We See<\/span><\/p>\n

1. The business name doesn’t communicate anything about what the company does.
\n2. The business is not marketing to the right people (the ones that would buy from them).
\n3. The business models what they do after their competitors, instead of finding their own unique voice.
\n4. The business puts too much information in their marketing (that no one will read).
\n5. The business has wrong information in their marketing materials.
\n6. The employees can’t explain what they do in a clear, concise, compelling manner.
\n7. The logo is not professional looking or there is no clear-cut standard as to how it is used (blue on some materials and green on others).
\n8. The marketing materials do not look like they come from the same company (mish-mash of looks) and there is no clear message or call to action.
\n9. The website is not effectively capturing leads.
\n10. There is no marketing plan or if there is one, it is not followed.<\/p>\n

Is it possible you are making some of these very common mistakes, too?<\/p>\n

There is an\u00a0easy fix. The One-Minute Marketing Makeover template is a great way to start.\u00a0 Of course, to get the best ROI, we recommend a full marketing audit (see other templates on myMarketingGuide.com<\/a>) or time with a Marketing Specialist to work with you to create a blueprint for your marketing.<\/p>\n

Marketing Audits<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two types of marketing plan audits.\u00a0 The first is the comprehensive which should occur at least one a year and then there are the One-Minute Marketing \u201cmini\u201d audits which should happen at minimum every quarter.<\/p>\n

We developed the “mini” audit for clients that were looking for a simple way to check the effectiveness of their marketing plans and budgets.\u00a0 The \u201cmini\u201d marketing audit is stripped down to the bare essentials and the goal is to create a task list which can be done quickly and easily and yield results right away.<\/p>\n

How does it work? \u00a0Just like 1-2-3:<\/span>
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You answer 10 questions in about a minute.<\/span>
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The questions guide you in creating a Mini Marketing Audit Answers and Task List<\/span>
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You put your list to work. \u00a0Hand it to everyone on your team.<\/span><\/p>\n

In many cases you could implement your plan in a day to a week, depending on the complexity and availability of the resources you need. \u00a0The “mini” audit approach is effective since a small amount of work often has tremendous results and help sell through the bigger, more complex ideas like new product launches, re-doing a website, etc, down the road.<\/p>\n
