Strategy
“The essence of strategy is choosing what not to do”.
-Michael Porter
It takes more than good intentions to grow your business.
Everyone knows that a good business needs a marketing plan. This plan has to be carried out month after month, year after year. We will look for the right message, then we will put that message in front of the right audience, at the right time. We will help you create a competitive offer and finally we will distribute your service or product in all your digital channels to achieve the best return on investment.
Most marketing plans are content plans. They are plans that focus on buying attention. Almost all of these plans are created with the same mindset. The only difference is that today, marketing plans include digital channels and a website. The problem is that traditional marketing plans promote tactics that have little impact today.
Today the success of your marketing depends on the synchronicity of the elements that are part of your plan and how they complement each other. Getting attention is just one ingredient in your marketing success. It is necessary but not sufficient. Today attention cannot be bought, it has to be earned. Times have changed and it is no longer enough to acquire large advertising spaces. You need to be authentic.
When you have your customers' attention, the challenge is to keep it. Your competition, advertisements, entertainment apps, video games, and even your neighbors compete for the attention of your audience; and they are one click away. You need to be in front of your audience to connect with them even when they are distracted. It takes a long-term approach to be successful. Return on investment takes more than one or two good ads. You need great ads, a comprehensive strategy, and the discipline to collect data and continually improve your results.
Happy House was created by entrepreneurs to serve other entrepreneurs. We seek to maximize your investment. The foundation of a marketing plan that maximizes a return on investment is tied to your brand message and strategy. Every aspect of your marketing plan should work to strengthen your identity, connect with your ideal customer, and differentiate yourself from your competitors. We, then, use the results of an audit of your previous and active advertising campaigns to identify:
What has worked and can we continue to do?
What has not worked and needs to be improved?
What spaces need to be filled?
What new opportunities have arisen?
Then we work on creating your marketing plan for the next 12 months. The results of the plan ensure that you will invest your time and attention in the strategy that will have the best results. Together we set priorities, and test the results within a cycle of continuous improvement. We will hold regular meetings where we can see progress, set new goals, analyze new opportunities, and make sure we remain aligned with your goals.
