Your marketing process should adapt easily
The marketing environment is anything but static. The internet was invented in 1983. Facebook came along in 2004. Instagram burst onto the scene six years later. While some marketers find success with the newer channels and platforms, results of one recent study found that 85% of buyers say the media influenced their purchase decision, with TV being the most important driver of product/service awareness.
No matter how your customers learn about your business today or 10 years from now, a great marketing process will stay the same. You just need to learn it once.
At 236 pages, “The CEO’s Guide to Marketing” is a fully illustrated, best-selling and award-winning book that provides both an easy-to-understand overview of marketing and a six-step implementation process applicable to every marketing task.
