Hispanic Marketing For Doctors

February 4th, 2010 by admin No comments »
Apparently there are some people out there who haven’t gotten the word that the days of mass marketing are over. These troglodytes are still randomly pushing an untargeted, self-serving message on people.
I call this To Whom It May Concern Marketing. I don’t know about you, but receiving something addressed “To Whom It May Concern” sure gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
This type of marketing just makes people mad. They have enough on their minds without someone trying to elbow their way in with an offer that is of no interest. Typically, the offers are all about the product or service and not about the benefit to the prospect.
Today, whether you are selling yourself with a cover letter and resume or selling a product, it is a one-to-one world.
I frequently receive notes to my email address that are addressed “To Whom It May Concern”, or “Hiring Manager”, or even “Please pass this along to the appropriate person.” These PR job seekers exemplify this bad “marketing” behavior.
I used to respond to these people. I’d tell them: if you are looking for a job, it is your job to find it, not mine. Do a little research and find the right person – by name – to target before you pull the trigger. I’ve stopped responding.
On our website it is not hard to discover that we are a network of independent professionals. This means we don’t have employees, and that probably should tell an intelligent job seeker that we don’t need or want resumes.
Whether you sell products to customers, yourself to a hiring manager, or story ideas to journalists, you need to target people who have an interest and provide them information about how they’ll benefit.
Marketers need to embrace this one-to-one world. Those dinosaurs refusing to do so are destined for extinction.

Strategic Marketing Vs Tactical Marketing
February 3rd, 2010 by admin No comments »
Most businesses have both a strategic marketing plan and a tactical marketing plan, and it is important to keep these two platforms separate. People often mistakenly assume that when you talk about marketing, you’re speaking of “tactical” marketing, which consists of placing ads, generating leads, sending out mailers and brochures, etc. However, strategic marketing focuses on the message and communication of the message. Simply put, tactical marketing is the execution of your marketing plan – the medium by which your message is delivered, and strategic marketing focuses on the content of your message-what you say and to whom you say it.
The key difference is the focus on making sure overall customer situations mesh with your overall company direction. Not to get distracted, or veer off course of your overall company direction, but at every step of development for your strategic plan, and execution of your plan, that you are indeed on course of what the overall vision and goals of the company are.
Content vs. Execution
Many companies try to figure out how to sell more before they find out how to provide a solution to their consumers’ needs. The procedure for accomplishing this is exactly the same every single time, for every kind of business. It is the advertiser’s job to pay attention to human nature, to research human nature, and to have some insight into how people make their purchasing decisions. Strategically, marketing programs and advertising should get the attention of target market prospects and facilitate their decision-making. This lowers their risk for taking the next step in the buying process. By understanding what’s important to your target market, you can then put together a strategy that gets more qualified prospects to call, reduces your sales cycle, and increases your conversion ratios. After the strategy is in place, the tactical execution simply consists of testing and implementing your strategic plan. Business-to-business Strategic Marketing
There is a business-to-business aspect to many companies, in which case these business-to-business transactions count as customer situation. For marketing to businesses who are your clients and customers, this means combining industry sector segmentation and product use with other factors related to purchasing decisions. For example, this would include purchase criteria and decision motivations that effect larger, enterprise sized purchases. In this case, part of your strategic marketing plan is to build strong, personal relationships with these larger businesses, and focus on providing customized service, products and even anticipate the needs of your business clients. Although a business is obviously a larger entity than a single customer, many of the same principles prevail; the most important being a keen sense of service, and making them feel they are important and that you pay special attention to them.
A strategic marketing plan encompasses developing a message, and developing the best way to communicate this message-and contemplates the best strategy to deal with communicating this message. Tactical marketing is important as it executes the strategic plan, but it is important to keep these two subjects divided as you develop a successful marketing plan for your company.
