Marketing Consulting
Success is in the Strategy.
VATIK Marketing Consultation Process
Achieving successful marketing outcomes hinges on having a well-defined strategy. Instead of following trends blindly or relying on guesswork, we employ a proven process to craft winning strategies rooted in real data and insights gained from client campaigns.
Demographic Mapping
Every successful marketing campaign begins with identifying your customer base. Understanding the “Who” is crucial because it guides the “What” in your marketing strategy.
We conduct thorough analyses of demographics such as age, location, interests, financial status, and user behavior to uncover where your clients spend their time.
Do they prefer engaging with direct mail or social media ads? What is their typical conversion timeline and buying behavior? These are the questions we address during our demographic mapping consultations.
Working with a Virginia Beach marketing consultant offers the advantage of local expertise.
We live and work in this area, allowing us to understand the unique characteristics of our local consumers better than firms outside our region.
While you know whom you want to target as clients, we help determine the precise strategies needed to reach and engage them effectively.
Budgeting and Customer Value
Integral to every marketing campaign is a well-defined marketing budget. Before launching any marketing initiatives, it’s essential to know what you can or should spend, what expenses to anticipate, and the value each customer brings to your business.
For example, if your average customer generates a net profit of $1,000, then you shouldn’t be spending $1,000 to get that customer. Your profit margins and overall profitability per customer dictate the resources you can allocate to marketing channels. A pizza shop, for instance, cannot allocate as much per customer acquisition as a custom home builder might.
Establishing the value of each customer sets a critical benchmark for evaluating the success of your marketing campaigns. In essence, we assist in determining the customer value for your business.
How much can you reasonably invest in platforms like Google and Facebook to ensure scalable marketing? Scalability is key—if your strategy cannot deliver significant returns when scaled up, it may not be a great strategy. We deliver marketing strategies that are scalable, and cost effective based on your estimated profit margins.
Platform Selection
Determining the right platforms for an effective marketing strategy presents one of the greatest challenges. Should you focus on YouTube, Facebook, Google, radio, podcasts, direct sales, door-to-door, or SEO?
There are so many avenues that work – It’s crucial to select platforms that not only offer a strong return on investment but also ensure sustainability. With our extensive experience across all major marketing avenues, our Virginia Beach marketing consultancy stands out by maintaining impartiality and avoiding bias towards any specific platform.
Our approach begins with understanding your ideal customer, enabling us to recommend the most suitable platforms to reach them effectively.
Sometimes, we may advise against traditional marketing methods if a direct sales approach like cold calling proves more practical given your company’s scale and customer base.We recognize that marketing isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution—its effectiveness varies depending on the business and its needs. While many businesses thrive with robust social media strategies, others may find less benefit.
SEO may be a great marketing pillar for one company, but a waste of money for another. Our process involves thorough analysis to evaluate all available platforms and educate you on those that promise the highest return on investment.
Marketing Strategy Creation
Once we understand your customer base, establish a budget, and have identified the platforms we compile this data to create a customized marketing strategy that all ties in and fits together like a puzzle.
It’s not only important to identify each platform a business should utilize, but also how they intercorrelate. Oftentimes, a lead will get hit with multiple forms of marketing before they become a conversion. We paint the picture for how the entire marketing strategy connects and then establish the methods for measuring success.
The marketing strategy will give you the 1,000 foot high view of all of the marketing efforts and put you in the driver’s seat for how much gas you want to put into the marketing campaigns, and position you to measure the effectiveness of the marketing strategy.
Most of our marketing consultation strategies incorporate content, paid ads, web, SEO, and CRM. Our marketing consultations result in crystal clear, marketing strategies that you can deploy at your own will, or work with our team to execute.
