Is it getting harder to see the return on your marketing investment?

In terms of marketing, your competition is not just other companies that offer similar services and products. Your competition includes all of the other ads, messages, and brand images that your customer may see and hear on a daily basis.

And the competition for attention is increasing.

In the 1970s, it’s estimated that Americans were exposed to upwards of 500 ads, brand messages, and logos per day. Depending on the platforms a person may use, that number is now estimated to be somewhere between 4,000 and 10,000 exposures per day.

That sounds outrageous when you first hear it, but you can see how they quickly add up. On a typical day, you may get ready for work while listening to the radio, use your name-brand bathroom products, observe the labels on your clothes, turn on the morning news, and open your pantry to see the food packaging. That is even before you start reading the morning newspaper or open Facebook.

Given the saturated advertising environment we have today, your customers are likely experiencing sensory overload and tuning out a good portion of the marketing they are faced with every day. How can you position your company to stand out from the pack and make an impact?

Rise above the clutter – make an impact

To stand out in a crowded field, you cannot rely on simply boosting your social media posts. You need to build relationships. Relationship-building is the foundation of sustainable growth.

First, look internally at the connections within your company and focus on the relationships you have with your staff. Is everyone on board with your mission and your goals? Review your list of strategic partners. How often do you think about cultivating your relationships with your contacts in other businesses to help you obtain your goals?

Finally, consider your relationships with your customers. How do you provide a smooth and enjoyable journey from their first experience with your brand to their second, third, and fourth purchases?

Of course, you want to make strong connections with your customers, but what is the best way to do so? You can not rely solely on your contact list or depend upon high-tech management software.

For your company to cut through the clutter and make an impact, you need a mix of good, old-fashioned networking and sound marketing analysis and strategy. That’s where NWI’s proprietary IMPACT Process℠ can help.
