Why marketing matters
Marketing matters because your business and what you do in it matters. Without marketing, you can’t drive the growth that leads to success. You can’t share your purpose with the world and help as many people as you can.
According to the World Bank, the economic cost of gender inequality globally amounts to USD 160.2 trillion because of women experi- encing unequal access to education, employment, financial resources, power and opportunities to participate in decision-making in most societies. I am striving to help change these statistics using successful self-employment and business ownership as the tool of choice.
I’m a professional marketer. Helping women set up their businesses is what I do. All day. Every day.
During my marketing career, I’ve read hundreds of business and marketing books, and found very few written by women for businesswomen. Women who deserve the success in business overwhelmingly seen by men. Women who want to market their business without being seen as masculine and pushy—but also without the fluff. Smart women, who want to attract their ideal customer through the right marketing strategies.
To grow a profitable company, you need a process in place to con- tinually attract more of your ideal client.
Successful marketing strategy
To market your business successfully, there isn’t one single magic formula that applies across the board. How can there be? Every business owner is different. Every business’s clients are unique.
These are the most common messages I hear every day from new clients:
- “Marketing is too I have no idea where to even start.”
- “My marketing doesn’t “
- “I keep wasting money on marketing that doesn’t ”
- “I can’t attract my ideal I keep getting time-wasters.”
- “Social media is a waste of No one buys from me.”
- “I don’t need a niche, my products can help everyone!”
- “There are too many choices! Which marketing should I do?”
And that’s where Marketing Launchpad comes in. It’s designed to show you how to market your products and services to your ideal clients, to get the right results using the right strategies and the right messaging. For you.
This book is not a shortcut to getting rich quickly. If you’re looking for a bunch of hacks and tips for Facebook and Google ads, this isn’t the place. Let’s face it, that type of advice would be outdated before the book was even published!
The advice and strategies in this book will set you up for marketing success for years to come. It will show you how to build a solid platform for your business even beyond marketing.
