… a wide range of business owners that attended and opted to take advantage of the strategy consultation sessions. Here is a summary of feedback given by Hassan of PeopleMatrix whose business is focussed on ‘Activating Mind and growing People and Businesses.

I used the strategy framework that I’ve developed based on business conducted throughout Europe, the Far East and the United states and incorporated this with the business books that I read [typically one a week]. It was good to get such feedback from Hassan stating that my input was ‘the best’ out of all of the other consultants providing assistance at the show.

I gave a presentation the other week about the process of marketing and the internet. It was interesting to see the reaction and anticipation of the audience when I got through some 30 minutes of the business marketing strategy information output without really going into any real depth about the internet.

The point that I am always trying to make is how to view the internet as a part of the overal business marketing strategy of any organisation. Of course all large and small companies know that they need to have a website, this is where I see so many problems in relation to the development and execution of a business internet marketing strategy. That is to say, there often is no strategy – the website is ‘thrown onto the internet because the Small Business Owner has been told that they must have a website [which is true - I would say].

As I develop key Business Marketing Strategies from conception to implementation it is the message of the organisation that needs to be clearly understood by the business owner before that message can be communicated by any medium. That is where it comes to the message that I am constantly putting forth …

View the internet as a Marketing Channel

• If your message is not clear
• If you have not defined your key Marketing Segments
• If you have not identified the most appropriate Channels To Market
• If you have not taken the time to define the Profile of your Ideal Client.

… And of course the list could go on with all of the components that a Strategic Business Internet Marketing Consultant [the function that I provide] bring to any business. As you would hire a chef to prepare the food in your restaurant [and not try to learn how to cook yourself] – hire in a Business Marketing Strategy Consultant to help take your business to the next level.

Any comments, let me know, if  you need any consulting – get in touch.

I am asked many questions about business and, now that I have my own weekly business focussed radio program, one of the questions that I am constantly asked is that of where the internet fits into ones overall business strategy. Before answering the question here, one of the main mistakes I see being made by the business owner is :-

• Throwing up a website
• Placing multiple Ads in Yellow Pages
• Placing Ads in the classifieds

Not that there is anything wrong with using any and/or all of the items above but what I often see is that this is normally done without the use of a coherent Business Marketing Strategy. Unfortunately, most do not see the reason for taking time up front in order to put time [and money] into :-

• Defining the message of your product/service
• Working on your brand
• Looking at Marketing Channels
• Going through the Marketing Segmentation exercise
• Pricing

… and, of course – the list could go on and on. The point is that large companies have qualified people in marketing departments working on these components all day long so, how important should this be for the small business owner. Of course this is business people such as myself come into play with being able to site down and to spend time with the business owner who is not skilled in marketing and to be able to help them to develop their core business marketing plans.

This is where we come to talk about the internet and how it should be viewed in the overall context of the business – I have run out of time, so will continue this in another post shortly.

What do you think ? any comments ? do let me know.
