Unfortunately, while these hints are very useful, marketing is not quite that simple, as planning and thought are essential for drawing up your marketing plan. You can start this by doing an SWOT analysis where you outline what you believe to be the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats to your business.
In addition to a SWOT analysis, you should also take into consideration a number of other factors, for example: the needs of your target audience which is essential in order for you to be able to make your marketing appealing to them. It is also important to think how much of an impact location has on your marketing, should you aim your marketing locally or does the nature of your company mean it would be more beneficial to market a wider geographical range. Finally, you should always be aware of what your competitors are doing, this can inform you on both tactics to avoid and also those which may prove beneficial to you.
