Necessary Information for Any Marketing Strategy

Marketing strategy, like all aspects of business, is an important part in running a successful company. While starting a new marketing strategy can be fun, they cannot be successful without hard work and dedication.

• Creating a specific main goal
• Knowing your target audience
• Understanding your competition
• Your medium options
• Your messaging options
• The cost
• The projected return

Edwards writes, “These seven pieces of information aren’t comprehensive; in fact, even with these basics, you should still do some extra research to fact-check yourself, learn best practices and consider alternative approaches, but these are the fundamentals that no marketing strategy should be without”.
