Businesses Don’t Have To Struggle – Businesses Choose To Struggle

Businesses are failing due to the lack of preparation and know-how. For the past two years, my team and I have established several hundred strong relationships within the small business community within the Sacramento Market. With countless hours of presentations and conversations our conclusions have come to six main speculations. With most small businesses in Sacramento we found that they have:

1. No business plan (goals both short-term or long-term)
2. No core identity (logo, mission statement, tag line)
3. No database (email addresses, cellular phone numbers for text messaging, addresses for mailings)
4. No online presence (website, mobile apps, listings, directories, social media)
5. No marketing budget (advertising, marketing, events, promotions)
6. No time (overworked, focused on production, in need of massive help)

As the saying goes, “people don’t plan to fail, they simply fail to plan”. Every successful business development plan must have a very solid foundation first. Listed above are six key and strategic areas of believe that our team believes should be main areas of focus. Naturally, businesses are stronger in some areas more than others and every business is different having its own process. What would a business look like having all six as strengths?

Nu Digital Media Group has a business development team that can and will completely add value to the suggested six mentioned points as their team has over 50 years combined experience in process and business development not to mention that NDMG is also a full scale marketing agency.

Social Media A Full Time Job

It is hard enough to send out a blog post everyday let alone make sure that you are keeping up with all of your relationships online. There is a lot more to social media marketing than just creating a fan page and just opening up a Twitter account.

If you create a bunch of profiles, offer valuable content, and you never respond to any of your followers that send you direct messages, your strategy could potentially backfire.  It is no different than you getting a voice message from a friend and you not calling back for a week. You must reach out and connect with your following keeping the relationships going.

Content is another challenge. Its is difficult knowing what to push out on your blogs, Twitter, and fan pages. You want to write quality content over quantity about you and your business to simply keep the attention of your readership. Consider subscribing to blogs, forums, or reading books to gather information to assist you in material to post. We know that for years businesses have compiled surveys and testimonials received from customers that have share past buying experiences and are a great source of material to share. If you brainstorm a little you can find material to share online.

Social Media Strategy?; Get Help or Train

Have you prepared your social media strategy for 2010? Are you a little overwhelmed with all the  information about social media and don’t know where to start? You can always hire someone to create, manage, and drive your online marketing. In most cases, it makes more sense to externally have a team focus on your social media marketing as it can and will be overwhelming. Having an internal employee manage your media but at the end of the day has more responsibilities than one.  Social media needs a lot of attention to detail is your company is going to succeed and market right.

Why do you need a social media strategy? There are over 400 million Facebook subscribers. Twitter was the #1 word used in the entire English dictionary for all of 2009. It was also just announced that Bill Gates gained 100,000 followers in a short 8 hours of subscribing. People are not going online to use these powerful social tools, people are already online using these tools. The masses think that social media is a buzz word or some type of fad. Wrong! Social media is now a fundamental shift if the way that we communicate.

It is simple; people are hanging out online and your business needs to be online. It is said, and now old news ,that over 85% of consumers go online for products and services. Your products and services need to be online. If you are not online, or at least found online, it is like having a brick and mortar business with inventory but never turn the neon sign on and let customers in to shop. You might as well just thrown the towel in and get out of the game.

Consider the following:

  1. Just Get Started – Starting is better than not. We highly suggest number two with a consultation because you at least want to start correctly.
  2. A Consultation- As every business differs and has their own unique style, it is crucial to first figure out the needs of the business, your market, the message, and draft all expectations of such marketing campaign or strategy. When choosing a company or a professional that is your potential “hired help” has been engaged for more that 30 days or 6 months and are calling themselves the “social media expert”. Consider companies such as Nu Digital Media Group, a social media company that provides free consultations for all industries.
  3. Outsource or Go Internal – Are you going to outsource your social media marketing or  are you going to have an internal employee taught? Think about the cost involved with hiring some internal. If you can budget hiring a professional great. If it makes more sense to outsource than so be it.
  4. Everyone Needs to be On board -From the top down, everyone needs to be on board.
  5. Don’t Expect Over Night Successes – It takes time to build communities that want to  follow your brand.  When posting videos, text, photographs, and marketing material online it takes time for the crawlers to crab the content and circulate the material within the Internet.

Social medial works, people  and impropper implemented systems don’t work. Having the right people, do the right job, using the right tools, your social media will work for your company. Having of winning is making the decision to start.

Social Media Strategies Gain Massive Results

We are so very excited to see the results that we are getting with social media. Finally, businesses can maximize their brand exposure, compete with the big dogs sort of speak, and reduce expenses from traditional media that just no longer works. Google analytics prove that customers are online and the websites that are linked to the analytical reporting are showing the numbers in a big way.

Just a thought: When Bill Gates joined Twitter last week over 100,000 followers elected to follow Bill in an 8 hour window. Imagine have a following of just 20,000 in lets say Sacramento, California. Your business is parked right in the middle of the city and you send a Tweet or message to your following. What would your promotion or special look like? Do you think that you could get your message across to your audience in a timely manner?
.
More and more success stories get posted on an ongoing and daily basis that to keep up is just silly. Cheers to all those who grasp the social media concept and are also enjoying the massive results for their marketing strategies.

One Pizza Franchise Gets It!

Today we had the pleasure of visiting with a local pizza franchise here in Rocklin, CA. With no surprise, we couldn’t find the business anywhere on Google. That’s right, we were sitting with the business owner, one laptop computer with a WiFi connection, and the word “pizza” in our search box and no business to be found.

We did learn that the business was investing at least five-thousand dollars a month on coupons and mailers but not spending anything in online advertising.

So what pizza franchise did rank number one on Google in the organic listing? Domino’s pizza. What if….what if…..this pizza shop owner could compete with and perhaps overtake Domino’s pizza in popularity while spending a fraction of what Domino’s Pizza is spending on advertising costs?
