Creating high-quality products that customers are looking for is the main challenge facing entrepreneurs. However, even the best goods or services cannot guarantee success unless the right marketing and promotional strategy is implemented to increase brand recognition and drive sales. So it is time to take a closer look at the basic tasks of marketingu in your company. Get to work!
Marketing tasks and activities - why are they important?
Today, the opportunities for business development are virtually limitless, especially thanks to new technologies and the Internet. We can easily reach customers from all over Poland with our offer or strengthen our position on the local market. Just a few decades ago, running a company looked completely different. The role of marketing was not as big, so we learned that a good product would defend itself. Unfortunately, this statement is no longer valid, as we have to face a significant number of competitors and our product often does not stand out so much against other similar ones. So what can you do to increase sales and stay ahead of the competition? Well-thought-out marketing activities will prove essential. It is mainly about correctly identifying consumers' desires and satisfying their needs, which will guarantee us more profit and faster growth. Of course, an effective promotional strategy will also be necessary to make potential customers aware of the existence of our goods or services. It is worth knowing, however, that advertising alone is not enough. It is important to consistently build a specific image and to communicate with customers in order to build lasting relationships.
Basic tasks of marketing in your company
Are you keen to win new buyers with satisfactory revenues? Do you want your goods to practically sell themselves? Wondering how to get ahead of the competition? If so, take a look at the tasks of marketing and see what changes you can make in your business to improve your marketing efforts. Basic marketing tasks include:
- Recognising the needs of a specific target group - when creating products and offers, we should always orient ourselves as much as possible towards the audience, learning about their desires, expectations and hidden motivations. Only then will we be able to develop a successful product. Various marketing studies and collected data are used to determine the needs of buyers: from customer service, the website or monitoring of online sources;
- preparing the best offer adapted to the current market - salespeople should focus solely on effective sales, and one of the main tasks of marketing is to put together the ideal product offer - better than the competition and going straight to the hearts of consumers. Of course, marketing specialists also take into account current market trends and are able to look boldly into the future of the industry;
- developing an effective promotional strategy - customers need to know about a finished product or an extremely attractive offer, otherwise there will be no sales. Marketing's task is therefore to put together a promotional strategy that is tailored to the audience - online, offline or, most often, a combination;
- building good relationships with buyers - customer loyalty is extremely important in effective selling. A buyer who returns and trusts our brand is the most valuable. Over the past few years, ongoing communication has become very important in building relationships - all thanks to the Internet. Currently, social media are revolutionising the approach to advertising messages, allowing direct contact to be established with the audience and also supporting image-building activities;
- arousing new needs and maintaining current ones - when we intend to launch a new product, these marketing activities are even essential, but they should also be continued afterwards - especially if our position in the market is not yet well established.
Tasks of marketing - key objectives
All marketing responsibilities are intended to lead to the achievement of specific objectives. These, in turn, translate into a number of benefits for the company: we start selling more, gain the trust of customers, have a better understanding of the needs of the target group, know which elements of the created offer to improve, become better than the competition, can introduce new goods or services and expand the scope of our activities. Examples of marketing objectives are:
- reaching out to new potential buyers;
- increasing the number of users of the product (product penetration in the target group)
- increased brand recognition;
- increase website traffic;
- new product development and promotion;
- support for building product distribution.
