During this tough economy, some Atlanta Marketing companies believe that they have to do whatever is necessary to survive. Even if this means throwing your own associates under the bus.

In the short term this may seem like a quick strategy to make sure that you stay successful and dominant, but what’s the long term effects to your brand? I’m glad you asked.

First, lets start with the importance of your Atlanta Marketing brand. Your brand is what people think of you, your services or your products. Brands are especially important when you market your goods on the Internet. The reason why it’s so important is because people don’t have something tangible. Also, it can be very challenging trying to get your money back from a service which you already purchased online. Therefore, customers have to feel as though they are doing business with someone they can trust.

Next, the most important part of your brand is the word which comes to mind when someone thinks of your Atlanta Marketing company. When someone thinks of your online brand you want to own a very positive word which triggers a buying response. You don’t want them to hear your name and run for the hills! For example, when you think of IBM or Apple you think of quality. IBM and Apple ironically are also known for the way they treat their employees and associates. Some of the common mistakes I see not only Atlanta Marketing companies make but also other companies is mistreating their employees and associates. You CAN NOT treat your associates wrong and expect for them to give your customers good service. That is like eating fast food three times a day and expecting to lose weight it’s not going to happen!

Therefore, be careful with throwing employees and associates who you’ve built strong relationships under the bus. You may end up needing that same person to pull you from under the bus. Moreover, strong relationships can help keep you from under the bus!

Savannah GA Advertising can be over-whelming. While I chose to advertise in Savannah I first made a couple of mistakes. Whenever I came up with a new marketing idea the first thing I would do was ask some of my friends and family what they thought of an idea. Once I received the go ahead from my friends and family (I especially spoke with them about Savannah advertising) I would go ahead and create the advertising plan. Usually when I asked my friends and family the majority of them would almost always tell me everything looked good. I remember one website in particular that I had which was built around Savannah Ga advertising was pretty attractive to my family members and myself. I was able to get a lot of visitors to my website, but the customers weren’t taking any action like calling or emailing me. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong!

Well, one day a good friend of mine who specializes in Savannah Ga advertising said to me are you tracking your visitors and website. I thought this guy had to be crazy because no one does that. I must admit that I beleived what he was talking about was a waste of time. I thought there’s no way I have time to track and test. One day after getting very upset and confused as to the reason no one acting on my site I decided to track and test visitors to my site. Once I did this I was able to turn those customers in people who took some king of action once the reached my site.

This is part of a series of posts I’m going to create on addressing how to increase your market share in a tough economy.

Albany Ga Advertising requires special skills and attention. One of the most important things in advertising is having a clear understanding of your customer base. This includes psycho-graphics which are characteristics pertaining to your customer’s lifestyle, personality and values. In order to build a long lasting relationship with some of your most profitable customer base, you have to understand how they think!

For example, one of the major concerns I hear when I speak to customers in Atlanta, Savannah and Albany Ga about their advertising and marketing is the fact that we’re in a recession. Needless to say, this is true. One of the worse comments I’ve heard business owners saying to people they want to sell is “recession, what recession?” People aren’t stupid! They read the news and speak with their customer’s everyday so they understand things aren’t as peachy and creamy as they once were.

On the other hand, one of the worst things a business can do in a recession is to start to close doors to their business and expect growth. When you cut back on advertising your closing doors. Closing doors to your business is the firs step towards going out of business. You have to be seen to sell!! All though the economy is getting better, since there’s still currently less dollars for consumers to spend it means that as business owners we have to fight harder for our fair share of our industry.

Therefore, when you decide you want to close doors to your business you need to simultaneously get your resume polished, give up your entrepreneurial dreams and prepare to go back to get a job!
