Define Your Business Goals

Read that header again – we need to define your business goals before you can put a marketing strategy together. There are so many businesses out there that don’t have business goals, don’t be one of them. Business goals are typically bucketed into five main categories:

  • Financial goals - focus on driving more revenue, cutting costs, setting new financial growth targets

  • Customer-based goals - improving customer relations, support, and satisfaction.

  • Employee goals - increased productivity and creativity, and loyalty by creating training opportunities, team appreciation events, and performance reviews.

  • Growth goals - start by creating your vision statement and segmenting that into steps that are achievable.
