At Koogar we often encounter businesses that are struggling with their marketing, for one reason or another. While in some cases this can be due to lack of creativity or low levels of motivation, more regularly it is due to the lack of structure, planning and to an extent expertise or understanding.
The “Transform your Marketing” workshop will enable you to add structure, understanding and consequently targeting to your marketing to ensure you are communicating in the right way, with the right people on the right platform.
To do this we will be taking you on a journey through your business, helping you develop a deeper understanding of your offering(s), as the better you understand your business, the easier it is to market it effectively.
For this journey understanding is key, so we will be looking into developing a much more fine grained perspective of your business. This includes not only:
what your business is doing well, but also not so well
This level of understanding is needed to enable you to identify the customers that can truly benefit from your services, as this facilitates the creation of thoughtfully targeted marketing campaigns that are far more cost effective.
This is because they enable you to communicate with the people who are interested in your products and service, instead of “everyone”.
Audit
Once a deeper understanding of who we want to target, and what the business is good at has been developed we will undertake a marketing audit. This will involve the Koogar team looking at your marketing communications and using their expertise to critique both traditional and digital elements. This is important, because it supplies you with a fresh set of completely honest eyes that can engage with your marketing communications and tell you what is working, what isn’t, if there are consistency or experiential issues, if the focus is wrong and what the customer experience is actually like.
This is really important as it gives you the opportunity to change what isn’t quite right in relation to your marketing to ensure you are consistently communicating in an engaging and relevant way with your customers.
Structure
Finally, as was mentioned initially, we will aim to add structure to your marketing. This is where we use the newly developed understanding and clearer perspective of what is working and what isn’t to develop a 12 month marketing plan.
This plan will add structure to your marketing on a day-to-day basis, by outlining specific content that should be created and sent out each and every day. This can range from creating a podcast one day, to a YouTube video another or even a Facebook live.
Each of these will be completely tailored to your marketing needs, your target audience and the amount of time you have available to spend on marketing your business.
Structure will also be added to you marketing in the form of measurable elements that will outline how effective your marketing is, while also considering your sales process and how that could be altered to improve conversion.
Attending this workshop will truly transform your marketing through the increased understanding leading to much more considered marketing communications, but it is important that you are not too scared of change.
This workshop’s aim is to look at your business and marketing in an honest and open way to produce a marketing plan that will enable you to engage with your target audience in a more meaningful, well thought through and cost-effective way.
So, if you feel your marketing needs transforming for 2017 then visit the Facebook event or Eventbrite page for more details and to purchase tickets!
Amanda will be speaking at the Integrated Live Conference in London on Wednesday 16th November at 4:00pm in the Engagement and Experiential Theatre at London ExCel Arena.
She was recently interviewed by Jonathan Davies from www.digitalmarketingmagazine.co.uk.
Just last week Amanda and I attended the Caradoc Medical Services Annual Conference and Awards in Shrewsbury Town Football Club. Caradoc are a not-for-profit medical supplies buying consortium that support medical suppliers in their drive for better prices for their goods and services.
Koogar are approved suppliers to both Caradoc’s suppliers and GP and Dental Practice Managers. This includes a range of tasks from training GP Practice and Marketing Managers in the best practices on social media, to pitching our marketing services to Caradoc suppliers.
At the Caradoc Annual Conference #caradocontheup (30th June 2016), Amanda was asked to present for the 2nd Year to a number of the members, suppliers and GP Practice Managers. The topic of the talk was “Marketing Overwhelm – How to deal with it”.
Amanda talked about how it is essentially important in marketing to not get overwhelmed by the extremely broad range of options.
Instead to focus on your target audience, and narrowing down you marketing effort to ensure you are not wasting time and money attracting people who are fundamentally not interested.
Furthermore, it was about recognising the importance of social media and how important it truly is for engaging with your audience in an effective and engaging way.
One of the main reasons why we gave this specific presentation last week was because we recognise that many of the Suppliers, GP Managers and Dental Practise Managers that Caradoc are involved with struggle with marketing overwhelm just like everyone else.
This is often because it is very new approach, and because there is such a wide variety of options in terms of platforms that it is difficult to know what is best and what is effective. Therefore, we can help any general practice managers, dental practice managers or suppliers with any marketing assistance they may need. From a full marketing plan to a range of smaller bolt-on services and training services, such as social media workshops or one-to-one consultations.
Here is the Founder of Koogar, Amanda at the Caradoc Conference outlining what we do, and why we are the best choice for medical businesses aiming to produce focused and effective marketing communications…
