Marketing Strategy & Planning

DO YOU OPERATE IN A CHALLENGING MARKET?

Understanding the environment in which your business operates is an essential part of marketing planning. There are a whole host of factors to take into consideration.

At the CMA we look at the bigger picture.

We will of course ask you about your business objectives. However we will also consider your marketplace, taking an in-depth tour to identify any factors that could affect your plans: Is your market growing, are you swamped by competitor activity, are you struggling to reach the right audience?

By understanding your business from every angle we will create a robust marketing strategy that delivers measurable results.

DO YOU WANT TO GAIN AND RETAIN MORE CUSTOMERS?

Knowing your customer well is vitally important.

To you, and to us.

We will stand in your customers’ shoes. We will take time to understand where your customers hang out and what messages and images they are most likely to respond to. Using the right channels and tools, both online and offline, we will help you communicate more effectively with your marketplace.

Because you can’t manage what you don’t measure, we will make sure that the right metrics are built-in at every stage. Whether you outsource activity to us, or deliver marketing in-house, our objective is give you the best possible return on your marketing investment.

The key to a strong marketing strategy is starting with a thorough marketing audit of your current situation and identifying where you want to get to. Some of this will already be detailed in your business plan.

Marketing Audit Outline and Example Costings

Ultimately, a marketing audit can be undertaken by anyone, however, misinterpreting the results can be commercially detrimental to your business.

With our track record of helping companies develop their marketing, we are well placed to provide you with an audit you can rely on and make sound business decisions with.

Please note, a marketing audit is a bespoke service. The below outlines a typical process:

- Audit scope – Identifying your needs, the resources available and the size of the overall task.
- Marketing audit – Undertaking the audit itself; and assuming all the information required is available.
- Audit evaluation – Taking the results of the audit and comparing them to relevant benchmarks and industry data.
- Report – We compile a report for you outlining all the findings, issues and recommendations, written in plain English, with easy to follow steps, quantified where applicable and possible.
- Presentation – To ensure that you understand the report, and the issues and findings outlined in it, this is a valuable part of the reporting process.
- Implementation – If you require us to assist you in implementing the findings, we are able to offer these services to you. This will involve a separate pricing structure.

The average cost of an audit, based on the example outlined above (excluding implementation) is between £2,500 – £3,500 depending on the size of the overall project.
