Core Principles of the Duct Tape Marketing System
Here are the universal, core principles used with every business owner:
- Strategy before tactics
Determine a marketing strategy and build your marketing activities around delivering on the strategy.
- Narrow market focus
Stop trying to be all things to a very large market. Concentrate your marketing efforts on a small, niche market and become the dominate player.
- Differentiate or compete on price
Find and communicate a hook that allows your prospects to easily see how your firm is different from everyone else in the industry and price comparisons go out the door.
- Marketing materials should educate
No one likes to be sold to. Create brochures, websites, and other forms of communications that allow your prospects to really experience your expertise.
- Advertising is a 2-step process
Let your prospects get to know you through advertising that invites them in for a gift, free analysis, and useful information.
- Embrace technology and the Internet
The Internet provides your small business with a powerful way to automatically find, connect, and serve your clients and prospects.
- Live by a marketing calendar
The best way to move your marketing forward as you run your business is to create a calendar and schedule marketing activities every single day.
