Marketing communications initiatives for better business health
S—- is a supplier of healthcare products in a niche but highly competitive market where competition include
s, for example, international pharmaceutical companies.
S— has called in The NAKED Marketing Company to help it build market share through a raft of marketing communications initiatives including:
- developing a series of “touch points” with customers
- A programme of direct marketing/direct mail that would become a regular and repeated activity, like the heartbeat of the company.
- a quarterly newsletter
- a pre-planned programme of publicity/PR opportunities going forward across the business overall but also focusing on specific products and initiatives
- regular website content updates
- use of Social media
As “optional extras”, we’re suggesting video content on the website, which will allow them to vocalise the company ethos in a powerful, attention-grabbing, personal and engaging way that connects 1 to 1 with site visitors.
+ support with exhibitions, conferences, seminars and similar
+ brochures and printed marketing materials because, even in these instant, click and go, interactive and website dependent days, brochures, product portfolios, price lists, corporate literature and similar printed materials are valuable marketing and sales aids as part of the wider marketing mix.
*PS. I’ve been helping organisations grow and prosper through this kind of support for over 20 years. All kinds of organisations in all kinds of businesses. Whatever line of work you’re in, however big or small your enterprise, I can almost certainly help you to promote and grow your business with value-for-money support.

We posted a BITE SIZE BUSINESS: When someone says: I’ll think about it, they probably won’t.
- Jeff Goldberg, law offices: Philip, truer words were never spoken! When someone tells you they’ll “think it over,” 9 times out of ten they’ve already made their decision (“No”) but don’t want to hurt your feelings. Occasionally someone thinks it over and decides to use your services but generally not. There are typically only two things to think over:
1) Do I believe this person will deliver what they say they’ll deliver?
2) Can I afford their fee
If they have to think about whether or not they trust you to deliver what you promise you haven’t done a good enough job on inspiring trust and showing value. Once you state your fee they know whether or not they can afford it.
Usually “I’ll think it over” means “No.” - Michele Lawson, training co-ordinator: Jeff, you are exactly right. Me: Are you planning on attending the meeting? Them: Maybe or Ill try. I know then not to plan on them being there. I dont know why people just dont say Yes or No.
