Marketing for Clients and for Control

When you get control over your marketing, you’ll no longer be subject to the variable winds and waves of a fickel referral networks. Instead you’ll gain the stability that comes from a steady stream of qualified leads. And when you have plenty of leads you get to decide which clients and projects to take on. Those might include the clients with the best creative opportunities, or the best budgets, or both.

Data Driven Marketing?

Professional services are not sold in the same way as consumer products. Professionals sell through reputation and trust. And cold, technical digital marketing methods don’t help with that kind of effort—in fact, they’d more likely hurt. So you can ignore 90% of the fast-paced, technology-driven, methods. That said it's still essential that prospective clients find out that you exist, and keep you in mind for projects when the time is right.

Marketing Transformation Takes Time

The time table from the first steps in forming a marketing program to the time you start enjoying its fruits can take up to eighteen months. Now it is possible to shorten this timeframe through fast decision making, and extra exertion in the preparation involved. But other aspects of a new marketing program can’t be rushed. And so the sooner you start the sooner you’ll get to that harvest!

Three Marketing Resolutions

In the introductory session of my new course, Marketing Mastery for Creative Entrepreneurs, I review the three essential resolutions that are necessary for any successful marketing program. Like a three legged stool, if any one of these resolutions are lacking the other two stop working, and your marketing efforts will fall flat. In fact, as I’ve listened to creative entrepreneurs describe their frustrations with marketing, I can always connect their past failures to missing one or more of these three essential marketing resolutions.
