Simple Marketing Tips

Terry: So we’re going to talk about Simple Marketing Tips. What areas of marketing are you expecting (hoping) to cover?

Marketing Planning

Social Media

Email Marketing

Terry: Start us off by telling us about some simple marketing tips related to Marketing Planning

Before doing anything with Marketing, you must start with a plan. If you don’t want to create a plan you can stop listening now as nothing else we discuss will make an impact that can be valuable to you.

Heard all of the excuses and have probably made them all. 5 Most Common

Terry: OK, well you have me convinced that I need a marketing plan for Terry Inc., what now?

Start with “Who are you?” and be honest even show your “pimps”.

Don’t just take your own work for it – Ask Employees, Outside Friends, and Family, Customers

Have them describe your company as an Elevator Speech

Terry: OK, my niche is Jim’s Towing Services and I’m the nicest darned printer in town, now what?

The Core of a good marketing plan is a SWOT Analysis

Strengths – What is it that you do well and pride your business on doing well? Core Values?

Weaknesses – Where could a competitor pick away at you? Everyone has then!

Opportunities – What things are on the horizon that looks promising? Crystal Ball – Dream Big!

Threats – What could drastically change your business? New Competitor, Losing a Key Employee...

Check out Aaron's SWOT /Marketing Plan Template for some more simple marketing tips.

Terry: Well that doesn’t sound as hard as I originally pictured it when you said SWOT Analysis. Anything more with Marketing Planning

Your Plan must have a budget, regardless of how big or small that budget may be.

Amazon is among the suitors for bankrupt retailer American Apparel, Reuters reports, a deal that would represent "a major push for the e-commerce company into branded fashion and apparel" after it "quietly" launched at least seven private label fashion brands last year. Any bankruptcy court bid would have to exceed $66 million, and other companies Reuters says are in the hunt include Forever 21, Next Level Apparel and Authentic Brands.

10 Things We Would Like to See in the Industry

1) Aaron: I think I’ll jump right in with a pretty forward though and just get us started. I think as an industry we are getting better at cooperating a little bit, but there are still too many “old school” mind sets out there that feel like they have this great info they need to keep under wraps because if they let it out someone will steal it. Well the real fear is that if they let it out someone will do it better. Well guess what the information is out there. There is very little new other than the way we do things, the way we treat our customers and our stakeholders.

2) Terry: I’m doing a DAX Seminar called Sportswear Garage, where I talk about starting either a screen printing or direct-to-garment business from your home. I think it would be great if a company offered a professional startup kit. In the past, most of these “be a garment decorator in a box” offers consisted of higher than normal pricing and lower than normal quality of equipment and supplies. I’d like to see a true professional package including garment and supply sources and “here’s how you do it right” instruction as well.

Please find some links and notes from the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. With 2017 on the horizon we are all looking at ways to make next year an even bigger success than 2016. We are in an age of internet marketing and you need to be implementing new strategies to keep up with the changing times. We are excited to welcome to the show, Tim, Jesse and JP from Inksoft. They are going to help us share with you, several great internet marketing tips. There will be strategies and tricks you can use right away.

2017 Internet Marketing Tips. New Year’s Resolutions

Terry: So it’s 2017, this is the year where you’ll actually start a marketing budget! Where do we start?

Establish a budget and stay committed using a fixed amount or % of sales.

Seek out experts -- they make you money.

Pay-per-click: Search engine results and Social Media.

Aaron: Talk to us about getting involved in content and social media marketing!

Find a platform that works for you - Facebook, Instagram.

Vary your content - useful articles, articles from your blog, promotions. If they follow you, they already know who you are.

Ask for customer photos.

Tag your partners and customers, ask them for mentions.

Facebook ads.

Terry: Everyone who’s ever been on the internet has heard the term SEO. Tell us what it really is and how to use it!

Snake oil. What you really need to know about SEO.

Describe your website and web pages -- for human consumption.

Start now -- long term payoff.

Inbound links and references.

Aaron: Let’s dig a little deeper into your web presence

Your website is your identity.

Your website is your the ‘nexus’ of ALL of your Internet marketing efforts. It’s the ‘end destination’.

Two approaches. Shotgun/Reactive(CustomInk), Targeted/Proactive(Webstores)

Shotgun. Great for having a central location to drive traffic, generate leads and sales. The site can also handle simple customer service tasks like FAQ, what products you carry or produce, where you are located, etc.

Targeted. This approach effectively changes you from a decorator to a marketer, providing a platform for your customers to sell, market, and manage the orders that you produce.

Invest in a SSL certificate to establish trust.

Free no-brainer options: Google My Business -- ask for reviews to legitimize

Aaron: Couple quick things to close us out. 1) What’s new at Inksoft? 2) Tell our audience how to find you.

Inksoft

JP is a coffee enthusiast and technology addict. He’s also the co-founder of InkSoft, an Inc 500 fastest-growing software company that provides a complete solution for decorators to sell online and grow their businesses. With over 10 years of experience in the industry,
