How to get customers and clients to buy from you instead of your competitors
As a small business owner, your business survives on customers or clients. And you probably sell something that is already offered by other businesses, which means that customers or clients must choose between you and other businesses to meet their need or want.
So how do customers choose between businesses that offer the same product or service?
Some will choose based on price, location, reputation, customer service and how well the product or service closely matches their need or want.
Most budget conscious business owners do their own marketing. As such they usually struggle with the question ‘how do I get customers to buy from me instead of my competitors?’.
There are many ways to acquire new customers or clients such as placing ads on search engines and social media or using SEO techniques in response to customers or clients who actively search for their product or service. They can also advertise or promote their product or service to customers or clients that share an interest in their product or service but are not actively searching for it.
There are also referrals and subscription-based customers and clients that provide new or returning customers.
But it does not end there, if the customer or client responds to your marketing message, you must still show them how you are different than your competition.
As you can see, the struggle is to decide which is the best marketing strategy and tactic to use and implement to reach your customers or clients and have them choose you over your competitors.
This leads to guessing, experimenting, trial-and-error and hoping you get it right. In the meantime, your competitors are getting all the customers, and your business is struggling to survive. In addition, it results in wasted time and money on activities that just don’t work.
Eliminating the struggle, confusion and frustration with a proven marketing system.
A marketing system is a structured framework that a business uses to create, manage and coordinate their marketing activities effectively. It encompasses all the activities, strategies, tools, and technologies that a business uses to promote its products or services, reach its target audience, and achieve its marketing goals of getting customers or clients to buy from them instead of their competitors.
When a business lacks a marketing system, several negative consequences arise, affecting both the short-term and long-term success of their business. Here are some of the key issues that occur:
1. Lack of Direction and Consistency
Unclear Goals: Without a system, marketing efforts lack clear goals and objectives, leading to unfocused and ineffective marketing activities.
Inconsistent Messaging: The marketing message may vary across different channels and campaigns, confusing customers and losing causing them to lose interest.
2. Inefficiency and Wasted Resources
Redundant Efforts: Marketing tasks may be duplicated or improperly coordinated, leading to wasted time and effort.
Poor Resource Allocation: Without a structured plan, resources such as budget, time, and personnel will be misallocated, resulting in poor outcomes.
3. Poor Customer Engagement and Experience
Disjointed Customer Journey: Inconsistent and uncoordinated marketing efforts lead to a fragmented customer experience, making it difficult to build strong relationships.
Missed Opportunities: Without a system to track and engage leads, potential customers and clients fall through the cracks, leading to missed sales opportunities.
4. Inadequate Measurement and Analysis
Lack of Data: Without a system to track marketing activities and performance, it becomes challenging to gather and analyze data.
Inability to Optimize: Without insights into what works and what doesn’t, it’s difficult to make informed decisions and optimize future marketing efforts.
5. Increased Costs and Reduced ROI
Higher Costs: Inefficiencies and wasted resources lead to higher marketing costs without corresponding returns.
Lower ROI: Ineffective marketing activities and poor resource allocation results in a lower return on investment.
6. Difficulty in Scaling
Scalability Issues: As the business grows, the lack of a structured marketing system makes it difficult to scale marketing efforts effectively.
Operational Challenges: Managing larger and more complex marketing campaigns becomes challenging without a system in place.
7. Competitive Disadvantage
Lagging Behind Competitors: Competitors with well-structured marketing systems will have a significant advantage in reaching and engaging customers.
Lost Market Share: Inability to compete effectively results in lost customers or clients to competitors.
A well-defined marketing system is crucial for ensuring that marketing efforts are strategic, efficient, and effective. It provides a clear framework for creating, executing, and measuring marketing activities, giving you a clear advantage over your competitors. Without such a system, businesses risk inefficiency, inconsistency, and missed opportunities, ultimately hindering their growth and success.
