Do you follow a true marketing system that will drive leads to your website, store front, and/or social media pages? If not, you should.
Small businesses and entrepreneurs face many challenges their early years of operation.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics,
- 20% of small businesses fail within the first year.
- 50% fail within 5 years and
- 80% within the first 10 years.
These are grim statistics. Some of the main reasons why so many new businesses fail are due to lack of planning, lack of focus, funding, and most importantly, lack of a good marketing plan. With marketing acting as the lifeline of a business, doesn’t it make sense to follow a proven marketing system to enhance your chances of success?
Bottom line is – if you don’t inform the public of your products or services, then its very difficult for them to learn the benefits of hiring your company.
Small businesses don’t often have large budgets for marketing. They also don’t have a pool of marketing experts at their disposal. In many cases, the new business is a solopreneur – just one person who is focusing only on their own skill sets and at most times those skills don’t include a background in marketing. Even if they did, marketing, like many other business functions evolve and it would be challenging to keep up with the latest trends.
