The Agency has been inundated with enquiries from a range of different companies in the UAE requiring support with their marketing strategy and marketing planning. We have found the process is much easier once our clients gain a full understanding of the different aspects of marketing services that are available to them. Following this we are able to work with our clients in partnership to identify which marketing areas would best suit their products / services.
So if we take everything back to basics, what is Marketing?
Marketing is a way for companies to communicate their products, services or brands to customers to encourage promotion or sales.
The Marketing Process
Firstly to start the marketing process and create a good marketing strategy, you need to consider the target audience. We support our clients by analysing their market and gaining further knowledge and understanding of their customer’s behaviour. Once we have this information we can then work with the client to assess which types of marketing would suit their requirements.
It can seem quite confusing as there are hundreds of different types of marketing to choose from, more traditional means of communicating with the desired audience through billboard or radio advertising through to more modern forms of marketing via digital forms like social media and smart phones. By using a mixture of both, businesses are able to target the consumer in a more precise and personalised way. Amplify is not only able to provide our clients with the traditional style of a marketing and advertising but also full digital aspects via our digital department. This enables us to provide our clients with full 360 marketing services and plans.
At Amplify we are able to support you with the full marketing planning process and dependent on your requirements create as basic or in-depth plan for your business. We can focus on a specific product or service or look at the company as a whole to create a full marketing strategy to suit your needs and budget.
So what is a Strategic Marketing Plan?
The content of a marketing strategy focuses on the total marketing environment and its impacts on a company, product or service. In particular it will reflect an in depth understanding on what other competition there is and also the target audience. It’s important to have one of these in place before considering anything else, as this will be the foundation to build your long term marketing campaign.
A marketing strategy differs from a marketing tactic in that a strategy will look at long term marketing where as a tactic will just focus on short term. For instance, sending out an e-shot would be tactical, but changing the pricing, or promotional elements would be considered a strategic change.
Over the coming weeks we will be sharing further information on marketing topics as well as usual tips on how we could support your business, in the meantime if you need any further information or would like to speak to us regarding your marketing strategy or any marketing needs…get in touch!
