Ad hoc marketing may yield a few quick wins here and there, but having a marketing strategy in place will help you achieve long-term results, ensuring that you're using the right tools and tactics.
What is a marketing audit?
According to the Chartered Institute of Marketing, a marketing audit is "the systematic, comprehensive and periodic review of the entire marketing activities of your company."
Not only do regular marketing audits make a business more productive and efficient, better planning leads to a more considered and proactive approach - rather than reacting to things as they happen.
Without a marketing plan, getting close to your customers or stakeholders can be tough - if you're not providing content that your customers want, they could simply find it somewhere else.
A marketing audit can help you make valuable changes to how you promote your business and will ensure you invest in relevant marketing outputs in the future, providing a better return on investment (ROI).
What can a marketing audit do for my business?
A marketing audit can:
- Define your objectives
- Identify weaknesses or areas for improvement
- Create an action plan for the future
- Increase the return on marketing investment
- Help you stay ahead of the competition
