Directionless Marketing campaign

Having a focus, direction or goal for an online marketing campaign is vital. Online Marketing Campaigns should be created with a clear goal like Branding, ROI, Product Launch, Social Media Launch etc; inexperienced marketers/businesses can sometimes confuse the customers by sending mixed messages by creating unclear campaigns.

This is the most common mistake made by business owners without realising how important it is to have a clear strategy in place.  You may think doing a bit of everything – SEO, Google Ads, Content sums up your marketing strategy, well NOT!!

In other words, document your strategy and have a clear view of the steps you’re going to take in the future.

Not Understanding your Buyers Persona

Establishing buyer personas for your company helps segment your target audience. Segmentation helps you deliver the right content to the right audience, which generates higher engagement and more leads. 

Few tips and tricks for creating the right buyer persona:

  • Asking the right questions during your persona interviews and surveys
  • Formatting your persona research in a compelling way
  • Presenting your new, finalized buyer personas to your company
  • Using your buyer personas for segmentation, content mapping, and lead nurturing

Absence of Relevant Content
