Throughout our 10 years in business, we have discovered and experienced ourselves, a major mistake that most small business owners make.  They market, market, market until they get a sufficient amount of clients, then they stop marketing. Don't make this mistake.  Clients come and go for various reasons, so you must always keep a good flow of new clients. Don't wait until you only have a few and then you have to play catch up.  It can't be feast or famine.  It needs to be constantly a feast.  Keep the pipeline filled with new clients.  Set aside at least 10 hours a week for marketing.  This does not include going to networking meetings.  It means you devote time to developing a variety of ways to get more clients and grow your business. Brainstorm new ideas and create marketing tasks, goals, and materials.  This is a key to success.

How Do We Do It?

We started what we call Marketing Monday. We spend all day, every Monday and a few additional hours per week focusing on our marketing.  We have a brainstorming meeting every Monday to develop ideas and implement them.  After we develop a plan, we create marketing materials for each campaign.  We meet briefly every morning to track progress.  

Marketing plans can include:

• Developing an Internet marketing calendar
• Constantly adding new information to your website to keep clients coming back
• Reviewing your website's performance (analytics) at least monthly and addressing any weaknesses
• Blogging
• Creating and successfully implementing a social media campaign
• Improving your ranking with search engines
• Creating online marketing materials
• Sending an e-newsletter like this one regularly
• And much, much more
