We polled 44 successful business owners at our last 90 Day planning session and asked them what were essential elements to ensure a successful marketing campaign and this is what they said:

1. Know everything there is to know about your target customer
2. Have a clear and well-defined Unique Selling Proposition
3. Have clear and well defined goals (multi-channel; multi-media; clear/simple message; company and product image and branding; sequential process)
4. Know your Return On Investment metrics and track them throughout the campaign
5. Make your campaign repeatable and scalable
6. Follow up with prospects (use “thank you” cards and other devices)
7. Offer incentives (so long as you know your Gross Margin and your cost of acquiring a customer)
8. Get feedback and referrals from customers
9. Demonstrate “thought leadership” to show that you are the best (walk the walk)
10. Social networking
11. Use buzzwords that are appropriate for your product or service
12. Stay visible with your prospects using tools appropriate for your marketplace
13. Have multiple touches
14. Have good quality leads – make sure you qualify them up front
15. Track your conversion rate
16. Make sure all of your services are known to your target customer
17. Measure failure as well as success – know why something didn’t work just as much as why something did…
18. Understand the seasonality of your product or service
19. Cross-selling and upselling through your marketing to give your clients a reason to come back
20. Follow up with customers
