What's the Plan?
It is fairly common conversation in and around the workplace
–
and in our personal lives as well
–
that if
you fail to plan, you plan to fail!
We run into this all of the time with our prospects' and clients' marketing communications or communications plans. They often ask:
Why do I need a plan? Time or money spent on planning is better spent on actual products and channels.
Why can't I just choose some channels and get my messages out there?
With marketing communications and communications, your success will be found in carefully and strategically analyzing and planning:
- what your goals and objectives are
- which audiences and/or markets you want to reach
- what messages you want to get to those audiences and/or markets and
- what the best channels to send those messages on are.
You also need to
measure
whether the plan is working or not. If the plan is working, keep going!
If it isn't working, change it up!
Spend your resources wisely.
Invest in a marketing communications plan or communications plan and embrace the "planning mindset" of planning for each step you take. Contact
