Marketing Essentials for Small Businesses

The first thing I do when I sit down with a new client is spend several hours going through a very detailed marketing status survey. This gives me an idea as to what their goals and expectations are and also to determine what marketing assets (if any) they already have in place.


My clients tend to be very small businesses--less than 20 employees (at least they start out that way). Many times they've been in business for years and have never had even an informal marketing program in place. Typically they have an admin that is sporadically taking care of things like social posts, but that's about it.


There are a few elements of, what I would call, marketing infrastructure that even very small businesses need to have. No marketing effort can be successful without them. Some of the elements are as follows:

  • An email list of at least 500 good clients and prospects

  • A basic analytics tool

  • A lead ID tool

  • A blog

  • Webpages with metatags

  • Basic graphics (including a logo)

  • Core templates w/company boilerplate

The two most important items in this list are the strong email database and an active (or any) blog--and these are the two things that most very small businesses don't have. The good news is that we are used to creating both these things for new clients--the blog is straightforward, the email list requires some ingenuity.

Understanding real-world applications is what makes education truly impactful—especially in subjects like economics. Whether it's analyzing market trends, interpreting financial data, or applying theoretical models, economics can be both fascinating and complex. For students who find certain topics challenging, seeking expert guidance can make all the difference. That’s why I recommend MyAssignmentHelp for reliable and professional economics assignment help, ensuring students not only complete their work on time but also develop a deeper understanding of the subject.
