Most small business advertising programs focus on the advertisement ONLY, not
the marketing and communication strategies that should be driving it. The
effect tends to be like changing the colour or accessories of your car when
it’s the engine and transmission that are faulty… or missing entirely!
This unique program focuses on putting you in control of the HIGH leverage
aspects of your advertising that count most – and which only YOU, the
owner — are capable of controlling.
It teaches you to make the best use of available resources for handling the
LOWER leverage aspects that you’re NOT capable of controlling, but for which
the media’s creative and production people have the skills, the experience
and tools to do faster, better and cheaper than you can.
Here’s
a short list of the features and benefits you’ll enjoy…
1. FOCUS on
YOUR areas of COMPETENCE and CONTROL
- Focuses you away from
your areas of incompetence (and, too often, conflict with your local media’s
experienced creative and production teams) and focuses on the areas that only
you are competent to handle – IF you know the right things to do, and the
right reasons for doing them. (You’ll know with this program.)
2. PLAN AHEAD
for more predictable results and better leverage
- Promotion opportunities are
identified well in advance. This means much better likelihood of you enjoying
worthwhile, ongoing results from your advertising.
It also enables you to form strategic alliances with other advertisers for
much better and cheaper results (these can boost confidence amongst the participants,
pooling of strengths and reduced risk).
3. BRIEFING
for better results, less wastage, less stress and less cost
- Better communication between
you, your media rep and the media’s creative and production people. Increased likelihood
of successful results. More co-operative approach. Less stress due
to confrontation and misunderstanding. Combining strengths.
4. MONITOR
and EVALUATE for better results
- Planning, recording, monitoring,
measurement, evaluation and modification based on actual results helps fine-tuning
of your ads for long-term improvement in results.
5. Accurate
insights for clearer understanding of roles
- By clarifying the REAL roles
and responsibilities of all parties in the advertising process, the program helps
to establish more co- operative, less confrontational relationships between you and
the media. It allows you to combine your true strengths, and focus on fixing the
problems, not fixing the blame!
6. Better education
means more control
- Better educated advertisers
produce better advertising results, because they understand the right things
to do and the right reasons for doing them.
7. Strategy
focused for better results
- Strategy-driven advertising
produces measurably better results over time. You’ll discover simple,
easy-to-use models and tools for developing powerful, targeted strategies.
8. Higher leverage
cuts time, cost, stress and boosts results
- The program shows you how to
be focused on doing the right things for the right reasons. You waste
less time, money and resources on doing the right things for the wrong reasons, the
wrong things for the right reasons and – most frequently of all – the wrong things
for the wrong reasons. (No? See the tests!)
