Today's Marketing Challenges Require Strategy to Drive Tactics
Marketers today have challenges and pressures greater than ever before:
- Higher work loads
- Less staff
- More marketing options
- Increased media options
- Greater pressures for accountability
- Reduced budget
It is easy to become absorbed in merely moving from one marketing tactic to the next – Tackle the trade show…Get that direct mail piece out…Send that e-mail drop…What’s the clickthrough rate?…How many unsubscribes did we have?…What’s my search engine ranking?…
A casualty of this chaos is missing the big picture—ensuring business goals are met and real business value is achieved. This scenario places marketers in a precarious position given that company management increasingly scrutinizes their activities, requiring them to produce measurable and definable results for their expenditures.
Today’s business realities make it all the more critical that a holistic strategy guide and drive marketing tactics and not the other way around.
