Is it time to find marketing help for your small business?

How do you know when it’s the right time to get some marketing help for your small business? Read on to find out!

For many of us small business owners, especially service providers, we tend to work a lot on referral. And referrals are great - they’re proof that your offering is viable and that your clients value your service. 

The problem is, when you rely solely on referrals, you’re depending on other people for the growth of your business. Other than asking for referrals, it’s a very passive process. 

So, what happens when the recommendations dry up? 

To be proactive and to grow your business with purpose, you need to be actively marketing. 

When you think about marketing your business, what comes to mind?

Spending hours on Instagram, scrolling the feed? 

Sending a random email newsletter every week?

Could you benefit from marketing support for your small business?

Consistency (or lack of it) is one of the biggest mistakes small business owners make with marketing. 

So, is it time to get some marketing help for your small business?

One thing I need to make clear here - marketing business support does not necessarily mean outsourcing your marketing.

Marketing YOUR business isn’t something that you can hand off to someone else and forget about. When you market your business as a service provider, you’re often marketing yourself. Your potential clients need you to show up and sell how your business can help them. So outsourcing it completely isn’t a great idea.

But, that doesn’t mean that you can’t get some support with your marketing activities.

That marketing support could be in the form of:

1. Helping you to develop a strategy and plan for your marketing activities that feels achievable for your business;
2. Setting up the systems you need to implement your plan; 
3. Managing the day-to-day tasks to keep your strategy moving forward. 

Not sure if marketing support could help your business?

Let’s run through a few questions:

1. Are you currently doing any marketing?

If not, what’s stopping you? Lack of time? Lack of knowledge on where to start?

2. Are you clear on your marketing strategy? 

Do you know what sets you apart from your competitors? What are your desired marketing goals? What are the key marketing activities you need to do to meet those goals?

3. Are you tracking your results?

Do you know what your email open and click-through rates are? How is your sales funnel converting? Which social media channel is working best for you? Is blogging a good lead generation strategy for you? Is your website SEO-optimised?

If you’ve answered “NO” or “NO IDEA” to any (or all!) of these questions then the chances are you’d benefit from some marketing support.

You don’t HAVE to be the marketing expert in your own business!

The thing is, your time is precious. You can’t afford to waste it trying to figure out how to add an opt-in form to your website, or struggling to make sense of your email marketing metrics.
