Building customer loyalty

Successful companies focus first on selling more to their existing customers, rather than finding new ones. The cost of selling more to existing customers may be minimal.

Design

Businesses that underrate the importance of design are missing a major opportunity.

Marketing with your database

Databases make information management easy and relatively inexpensive. Mailshots, telemarketing and customer service activities can be more purposeful when you have instant access to details of all your customers and prospects and all your contacts with them.

Planning your marketing

Successful businesses focus on getting the basics of marketing right.

Pricing

The prices you charge for your products can have a dramatic effect on sales and profits.

Research for your marketing

Marketing research helps you understand your competitive position, spot opportunities, lessen risks and take better decisions. It is more than just market research, which is concerned only with examining aspects of a given market, such as its size, location or growth potential.

SWOT analysis

SWOT analysis looks at your strengths and weaknesses, and the opportunities and threats your business faces.
