Marketing strategy

Don’t immediately dive into the deep end with your marketing.

Take some time to think about your marketing strategy.

Who has overall responsibility for your marketing thinking and planning?

Who provides them with advice and feedback?

Will you do everything yourself or will you outsource certain activities?

Do you have a marketing budget? Do you stick to it, or spend as required?

Who will create and maintain your website?

Who will write, edit and proof-read all of your marketing copy?
