Your marketing strategy can be compared to a circus. Think about how a circus operates. You see a flyer hanging in your community or a Facebook ad announcing the circus is coming to town. This is advertising. If the circus brings their elephant to a community event and the newspaper writes about it. That’s publicity. Then the city manager interviews the ringmaster about the circus coming to town on television. That’s public relations. Your local grocery store sells tickets to the circus providing brochures and information about how much fun the circus will be. That’s sales. Marketing put all these pieces together. Your marketing strategy is what makes it happen. Marketing orchestrates the process and without that, the circus isn’t going to happen. This is no different than your business. Writing and implementing a marketing strategy in healthy or poor economic times is just good business.
