Start A Conversion With Your Customers

Find effective ways to reach new users and keep current ones.

You may have the greatest product or service in history, but if nobody knows about it or understands it, then it is useless. That is what marketing is for, to communicate your business to the world. A sound plan is crucial to keeping your business booming. When marketing is done right, it becomes branding.

There are two important types of people to consider in any comprehensive marketing strategy: new users and current users. Most marketing plans tend to focus on the former, finding as many new users as possible without understanding that care needs to be taken with current users too. After all, these new users will hopefully become current users.

Reaching New Users

This is the side of marketing that most people are familiar with. It's filled with exciting, buzz-driven marketing ploys that capture the imagination. This side of marketing tends to be more focused on getting warm bodies in front of your product or service, which is actually not ideal.

When it comes to reaching new users reliably, such gimmicks don't work. People see through them these days. Hopping on the latest bandwagons just to be popular is great if you know what you're doing and know how to use them effectively, but if you don't know how to steer the message after, you could be hurting yourself more than you know. Today, it's less about how many people you can get interested and more about how many people you can get to remember what you offer and refer you to a friend. It's about creating a message that permeates through the consumer population.

Finding new users means you have to go to the various channels they use. Marketing cannot happen on just one front. You can't be on Google AdWords and consider that a complete marketing approach. You need a marketing portfolio.

Keeping Current Users

Any marketing portfolio focused solely on gaining new users is missing half the equation. Once you have acquired a user, you must use the same level of care to keep them as you did to get them. If you don't, then you will lose them. Gaining a million users is useless if you lose them all shortly. The worst case is continually gaining more and more users while losing them just as fast because it gives the illusion of growth without any real results. Keeping your current users is so important that it can sometimes be enough to keep you sustainable for a period of time.
