Marketing Calendar – Foundation Block 7 – Entrepreneurs Marketing System

Marketing Calendar

Marketing calendar

A marketing calendar can make all the difference. By considering the marketing on a whole year basis it enables you to plan out campaigns so that advertising, offers and promotions all logically “fit together”. It enables you to conduct your marketing in a planned methodical way, rather than reacting to what your competitors do or rushing at the last minute to get that Christmas campaign out when it should have been ready to go two months earlier.

Having a marketing calendar gives you and your staff a focus, rather than chasing the latest new idea with no overall plan.

Here is our Marketing Calendar that you are free to use.

Price Review – Foundation Block 5 – Entrepreneurs Marketing System

Price Review

Price Review Entrepreneurs Circle Certified Coach

We have found over the years that most businesses have the potential to add a 5 figure sum to their net profit, simply by increasing their prices by 10%. This can often be a big win that is relatively simple to implement.

Most businesses have not looked at the pricing in some time and there can be many factors holding back business owners from increasing prices – fear of losing customers, fear of appearing too expensive in the marketplace is to name but two. Often these fears turn out to be completely unfounded providing you offer an excellent service. We find that any hesitant business owners are most comfortable testing a price increase with new customers first and then rolling out to existing customers later.

Follow Up Process – Foundation Block 4 – Entrepreneurs Marketing System

Follow up process

You need a systemised way to follow up with enquirers. In any market, only 3% of people are ready to buy right now. So if you are paying for Google or Facebook ads then you need a way to capture and follow up with the large proportion of people who are not ready to buy today but maybe looking in the future to buy what you sell.

So you need to create marketing assets that not only appeal to people who are ready to buy now, but to those who are seeking out information for a potential purchase later on. So create marketing assets such as free reports, information videos, webinars, short courses etc.

To enable contact to follow up in a systemised and time-efficient way you will need a CRM / Marketing automation tool. Solutions range from free/simple tools like MailChimp to the more sophisticated software like Keap, Keap / Infusionsoft and SalesForce.

Choosing the right tool can make all the difference to your business. The key is to systematically capture contact information and use that information to keep in regular contact and occasionally ask recipients for their business.

 

Here’s an example of a world-class follow-up system.

Google My Business – Foundation Block 3 – Entrepreneurs Marketing System

Google my business

Google My Business Entrepreneurs Circle Certified Coach

Many businesses have never bother to spend the two hours it takes to sort out “Google My Business”. It’s completely free to claim and optimise your listing. Google loves content and will reward you with more visitors and therefore leads.

Having your Google My Business listing appear in Google searches and maps makes it easy for local potential customers to find you online and even gives them the directions to your physical location. It also gives you credibility, especially when you combine this with the systematic collection of reviews (see Foundation Block 6) . We recommend spending an hour every 6 months for a quick review and update of your listing.

Here is our Google My Business Checklist that you can use.

Re-marketing & Pixel Tracking – Foundation Block 2 – Entrepreneurs Marketing System

Re-marketing & Pixel Tracking Entrepreneurs Circle Certified Coach

As someone visits your website we add a piece of code (a pixel) to their web browser and this enables Google and Facebook to track their online activity. Then as your website visitors surf around the internet we can re-market to them and show them adverts. So they do not forget about your product or service.

These days having someone “pixelled” can be more valuable than capturing their email address as emails are easily ignored. But as remarketing ads can be low cost and target only those who have already shown an interest in what you sell then they can be highly effective with a huge return on investment (ROI). And going forward we can get really sophisticated. For instance, once Facebook knows who your customers are then it is able to go out and automatically target people who are most similar to your ideal customers.

The first thing to do is to immediately ask your web guy or gal to check if you have the Google and Facebook pixels installed on your website. Once the pixels are installed you are gathering valuable data on your website visitors that you can use to remind visitors about the products and services you sell.

Neighbourhood Card Examples Library

Having a Neighbourhood card is a foundation block of the Entrepreneurs Marketing System by the Entrepreneurs Circle.

If you provide services at customers homes then this is a fantastic strategy to get new customers. One Entrepreneurs Circle member who fits kitchens and bathrooms did 30 installations and off the back of neighbourhood cards generated a further 9 jobs! Just by dropping cards at the neighbouring houses. The concept is simple, when delivering a service at customers homes then drop cards at 5 homes to the right, 5 homes to the left and 10 homes opposite your customer’s house – how simple can it be?

 

Here is my library of neighbourhood cards that I feel are good examples.

Book Review – Duct Tape Marketing by John Jantsch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

duct tape marketing

duct tape marketing

Duct Tape Marketing is a great book for the small business owner and marketer without being full of marketing speak and jargon. Full of practical steps that a marketer can take to move the business forward.

Here are the top tips that I took from Duct Tape Marketing :-

Chapter 13, ‘Ramp Up a Systematic Referral Machine’. My eyes lit up when the title of the chapter mentioned “Machine”. This meant there was a system involved and business is all about having systems. Rather than have ad hoc referrals coming into your business build a system to maximise referrals. He even gives examples of how to build in asking for referrals as part of your initial sales process!!

On page 215, “One hundred percent refund for referrals”. Here he outlines a strategy where customers can get a 100% refund on their purchase by referring others to your business.

On page 215, “Peer-to-Peer Lead Conversion”. In this strategy, you put together a Zoom meeting to discuss an industry trend or a growing trend. Be sure to include at least two who are your happy clients. Then your job is to sit back and moderate the discussion. Three things generally result from this 1) your clients feel good about their decision. 2) Other attendees come away with a favourable impression of your place in the market and finally, 3) several members will call you the next day inviting you to show them how you can help.

On page 273, “The Powerful Marketing Habit of 5’s”. This habit is all about identifying 5 marketing actions and each Monday block out calendar time to do them. This dovetails nicely with the EC coaching habit of blocking out 90 minutes a day to work ON your business rather than IN your business. Check out this video by EC founder Nigel Botterill on working 90 minutes a day on your business.

So a practical marketing reference book for the small business owner and marker who is looking to maximise sales.

If you would like to discuss any of the points raised in Duct Tape Marketing then I would be delighted to schedule a 15-minute call – Schedule a Discovery Call
