Uran, Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai lies on the west coast of Maharashtra. It is situated in the eastern trans-harbour of Mumbai. The city was developed as a new urban township and satellite city of Mumbai in 1972. It is also the largest planned city in the world. The main purpose for building the city was to decongest the city of Mumbai.

Navi Mumbai covers 150 km of the total 720 km of the Konkan coast. There are totally 86 villages covering 39,400 acres within Navi Mumbai limits.

CIDCO had created 14 nodes/townships in Navi Mumbai. They are Vashi, Sanpada, Airoli, Ghansoli, Nerul, Kopar Khairane, CBD Belapur, New Panvel, Kamothe, Ulwe, Kalamboli, Dronagiri, Kharghar and Taloja. Each node is further divided into sectors.

CIDCO planned and constructed the railway stations in the city and developed the nearby areas. The Vashi bridge was opened in 1973 for the residents of Vashi, Nerul and CBD Belapur. The Sion-Panvel Expressway was built to reduce commuting time from Sion to Panvel.

The commissioning of a wholesale agricultural produce market in Vashi and building of a commuter railway line between Mankhurd and Vashi in 1992led to a very high population and economic growth.

Navi Mumbai has a vibrant industrial activity in the regions of Mahape and Taloja. The last decade has seen a steady growth of IT/ITeS sectors as well. The satellite city has seen a high growth of residential development in the last 5 years.

Demographics:

According to census data, the city has seen a huge migration of population from the Island city of Mumbai (54.6%) . It also attracts population from other suburbs of Mumbai and Maharashtra (28.9%). There is a small population from outside Maharashtra that has settled here (0.7%).
According to 2011 consensus, the population in Navi Mumbai is 1,119,477 and its urban population is 18,414,288. The sex ratio in the city is 1000:831. The average literacy rate of the city is 91.57% out of which, 95.05% are males and 87.33% are females.

Employment Opportunities

Navi Mumbai has a buzzing manufacturing activity in the state owned industrial estates. The Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) areas in Taloja and Mahape have several SMEs. Taloja has several companies such as Asian Paints, Exide Batteries and Asahi Glass.
There are several IT/ITeS companies and software parks making their way into the satellite city such as Reliance group, Patni Computer Systems, TCS and Mastek. The next decade is expected to see a market domination by the IT/ITeS sector.
Most of the employment opportunities in the city is on the stretch of the Thane-Belapur road. The areas of Airoli, Mahape, Rabale, Turbhe, Vashi, Jui nagar and Belapur are locations that have ample office spaces and have good employment opportunities.

Connectivity

The Mumbai suburban railway is the most prominent mode of public transport in Navi Mumbai. This connects most regions of Navi Mumbai to the main city of Mumbai and Thane. The most important railway stations are Vashi, Belapur, Panvel and Nerul. Panvel is the only mainline station as well as the busiest railway station in Navi Mumbai. A new broad gauge line has been made functional between Panvel and Karjat. There are currently three express trains that use this line.
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Transport (NMMT) and Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) provide bus services throughout Navi Mumbai, Mumbai and other areas of Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). There are regular BEST AC Kinglong and NMMT AC Volvo buses running between Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
Navi Mumbai has the most advanced port in India: Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT) in Nhava Sheva near Uran industrial area. It is well connected to roads and handle about 65% of the country’s container traffic.
The Navi Mumbai International Airport is proposed in Kopra-Panvel area. This is expected to decongest the air traffic in Mumbai. The airport will be built through Public Private Partnership (PPP). The airport is expected to be completed in 2017.

Residential Market in Navi Mumbai

Navi Mumbai is primarily an industry and investor driven market. Due to rapid growth of industrial activity post 1990, it has also emerged as a favorite location for end buyers.
Since 2007, 87,055 houses have been launched here. Out of them, about 65,400 units have been absorbed. The year 2010 saw the highest number of launches (approx. 28,240). However, soaring property prices put a dent on affordability post 2010. This increased the unsold inventory by 25% during the third quarter of 2012. Taking notice of this, developers have brought down the number of launches since then.
Navi Mumbai witnessed few new project launches in September 2013. Developers have held back on new launches primarily due to cautious market sentiments owing to rising inflation and economic situation. Some of the localities that have witnessed this slowdown include Ulwe, Panvel, Kamothe, Kharghar, Dronagiri and Khandeshwar.

ABOUT FIELD MARKETING

WHAT IS FIELD MARKETING? Field marketing and marketing Supplier in Pant Nagar is becoming more popular for companies in various industries. From food and beverage to consumer goods. It’s a tool that can be used to showcase latest products or services in a face to face environment with consumers. Furthermore companies recognise the importance of having brand ambassadors and reps on the ‘front line’ introducing the public to new innovations or delicious treats. This is done in the ‘field’; around shopping centers and in retail hot spots, expos and events, university campus’ and sport stadiums to name a few. Most campaign activities focus on customer facing roles including product demonstrations, direct selling and street training teams. However not all field marketing is consumer facing such as auditing and merchandising. Goals and outcomes of field marketing will differ from company to company. Some campaigns are designed to increase brand awareness or sales. While others may be to collect data and feedback about the product and its market. At Splatter we have all the tools necessary for the clients desired outcome to be achieved WHAT A FIELD MARKETING TEAM LOOKS LIKE. For successful field marketing campaigns companies might have dedicated teams within their business whose task it is to be creative and manage field marketing initiatives. However agencies are also on hand to support a campaign. By offering staff, management and infrastructure the client can focus on the more creative aspect of the campaign. A field marketing agency and marketing Supplier in Pant Nagar tends to work in territories operating with reps within their own regions. Often overlooked by regional or national managers depending on the scale of the team. Although territory management is more important for wide scale national distributing business, smaller brands are recognising the importance of managing promotions on a more local scale using teams to promote, audit and sell in their regions.

WHAT CAN FIELD MARKETING DO FOR YOUR BUSINESS?

1. PRODUCT DEMONSTRATIONS

As mentioned already, demo days are a popular tool of field marketing. These campaigns can stretch from as little as one week to 6 months however some are continuous and full time. For consumer goods this would mean having brand representatives in retail stores and around shopping centers, events or road shows. Finally The Brand Ambassadors are engaging with the consumer and showing them how the product or service works. This is important as it allows a potential buyer to get hands on experience and a feel of ownership of the product; most importantly the rep is also on hand to answers any questions the customer may have. Although a sell is great the main aim of a demo campaign is brand awareness. Food and beverage take a slightly differently approach. By handing out free samples and one off deals of their product around retail and events, consumers are getting a taste of the brands latest delicious treats and at the same time everyone loves free food! Sampling is a fun activation and is effective when bringing new products to the high street. Marketing Training Learn more about product demonstrations by checking out our in depth guide here.

2. DIRECT SELLING

Much like product demonstrations these campaigns have brand reps or ambassadors at the center of them. The difference is it’s more about the selling of the product. Sales rep might have targets to adhere to. Finally these campaigns are super effective during peak times when the difference in a sale or not can be having a knowledgeable brand rep in store. Product Demonstrations Learn more about what direct selling is in our guide here.

3. RETAIL AUDITS AND MERCHANDISING

Auditing takes the reps out off the front line and away from the consumer. Auditing teams are used by marketers to monitor traditional marketing strategies that they put in place across retail. Most of all audits ensure that the brand is represented as it should be on shelves and around retail hot spots. Examples are; checking POS is as it should be across the territories, promotions advertised and running and paid spaces such as gondolas are set up. The data collected from the teams can be useful for the marketers to negotiate better future deals. In addition it also allows for mistakes to be rectified there and then by the reps. Splatter offer a live system that can be monitored by the client in real team meaning that red flags in the field can be dealt with instantaneously .Store Audits and Merchandising To learn more about Audits and merchandising view our guide here.

4. GUERRILLA MARKETING

When it comes to guerrilla marketing the gloves are off. They are usually low budget campaigns but with the right imagination and ideas they offer up some unprecedented results. Furthermore the term ‘Guerrilla Marketing’ itself is used to refer to campaigns that surprise consumers in locations and ways they might not usually expect. For that reason the experience remains with the consumer.

5. PRODUCT SAMPLING

Product Sampling To learn more about sampling work and what that involves view our guide here. WHO DOES WHAT? FIELD MARKETING REP: These guys and girls are the cream of the crop, they are masters of everything. Sometimes they may be conducting training sessions on major proportion for a retailers whole selling team. Another role they find themselves in are in is in the field collecting data and conducted audits. Finally everything in between including sales, merchandising, and working at events. Their primary concern is to drive brand awareness across their region through face to face with consumer and staff on a retail level. Read about what being a field marketing rep is all about here. FIELD MARKETING MANAGER: The field manager’s role is to oversee the field reps; it is their duty to ensure the field marketing campaigns achieves the clients intended goal. As the manager of all the region, they hold the responsibility of ensuring that all reps are trained and directed towards the client’s goals. In addition the field marketing manager will work closely with the clients marketing executives to align the marketing objectives and goals with team in the field. Finally they will then report the findings and feedback from the team. Read more about what being a field marketing manager entails here. BRAND AMBASSADOR/BRAND REP As we know by now the BA role is one of the most crucial in field marketing. Ultimately they are usually supplied by the marketing agency and are tasked with promoting and representing the client’s brand. This can work well within a University by hiring a student to represent the brand around campus; this is perfect for low budget campaigns as sometimes all it takes is giving the BA some products to show off. Some larger scale business’ use celebrities to endorse their product and services by making them the face of their brand using social media to promote to their following. Learn about the various roles within the Field Marketing industry are by reading our guide here. You can also join our team by signing up here. DO YOU NEED FIELD MARKETING? Field marketing as you have seen is a useful tool to accompany other traditional marketing strategies. For example a company might pay a huge amount of money for prime advertising spot during a major sports event. However if this is the case it is important for the brand to follow up with demos in stores. If there is a brand rep placed in store the following few days after the advertising campaign the customer is more likely to come over and ask some questions about the product. Another reason you might need field marketing is to ensure your budget has been well spent. After investing into a large scale in-store promotion campaign you want to ensure that it is implemented to the standard agreed with the retailer. Data can be collected by auditing teams and analysed to see if the money had been well spent. Furthermore it also gives opportunity for future campaigns to implemented with higher efficiency and success.

How to Choose A Pop-Up Shop Location

A pop-up shop is an experiential space that is open for a short period of time. Pop-up shops give brands an opportunity to engage with their customers in a unique environment, which is why they are often incorporated into experiential marketing strategies.

There are many different factors that impact the success of a pop-up shop. But, one of the most important factors is the location of the shop. Choosing the wrong location can doom the event from the very beginning, so this decision should not be taken lightly. Here’s how to choose the perfect pop-up shop location:

Set A Budget

The first step to finding the perfect pop-up shop location is setting a budget. Many brands choose to host their event within an existing retail store, gallery, or vacant space. Some of these venues are far more expensive than others, so it’s important to know what is within your budget before you start searching. If you don’t know your budget, you could waste a lot of time looking at venues that are way out of your price range.

Browse Through Pop-Up Marketplaces

Marketers often don’t have a lot of time to get out in the city and find the perfect spot. If your schedule is packed, browse through potential pop-up locations using one of the many pop-up marketplace websites. This Open Space features various venues in major North American cities. Marketers can see photos, square footage, and pricing for local venues so they can find the perfect pop-up location without ever leaving their office. Although it’s possible to book these venues from the convenience of your computer chair, it’s best to make appointments to see your top picks in person before signing a contract.

If you don’t want to use one of these websites, consider working with a real estate agent instead. Real estate agents are familiar with the area and may even have personal relationships with property owners in the community.

Explore the Neighborhood

Even if a space seems perfect for your event, it’s important to explore the area around it before making a commitment. Find out what other stores are located nearby so you can get a better idea of what kind of customers frequent the area. Ideally, you should look for a venue that is located by stores that target the same customers you do.

You should also research whether there are any upcoming events in the area. There will be a lot more foot traffic on days where there are other events going on in the neighborhood. Therefore, it would be wise to host a pop-up shop when something else is happening nearby. However, this would only be effective if the event is marketed towards people in your brand’s target demographic. If the event is catered towards older adults, but you are targeting college students, hosting the pop-up shop at the same time as the event is not a good idea.

Finally, take a look around the area to determine if parking will be an issue. Customers should not have to spend a lot of time finding parking. They also shouldn’t have to walk miles to get to the pop-up shop. To avoid these common frustrations, choose a location with plenty of parking conveniently located nearby. If this isn’t an option, look for a location that is easily accessible using public transportation.

Consider How the Interior Can Be Modified

It’s rare for a brand to find a venue that does not need to be modified in some way prior to the event. For this reason, every marketer should consider how the interior can be modified when choosing a location for a pop-up shop. At this stage in the planning process, you may not have many details of the event planned out. But, you should have a general idea of what kind of space you will need to pull off the event. Be sure to go over what can and cannot be done to the interior with the property manager prior to making a commitment.

Think of the Visual Impact

Marketers should also consider the way a venue looks before signing any paperwork. Some aspects of the venue’s visual appearance can be changed, but others cannot. If one of the permanent features does not match your brand’s aesthetic, this may not be the best place to host an event. For example, a brand with a modern and sleek aesthetic should choose a venue that is designed with clean lines and large windows. Choosing an older, stuffier venue would not match the brand’s aesthetic and would confuse loyal customers who are familiar with the branding.

Check For Necessities

Make a list of must-haves prior to starting your search for a pop-up location. This list should include necessities such as public bathrooms, storage space, Wi-Fi, and decent lighting. Some brands may also want to add security cameras to this list if they are worried about products being stolen while the pop-up shop is being constructed. Keep these must-haves in mind whenever you look at a venue and don’t settle for one that doesn’t contain every item on the list. It can be very hard to pull off a successful event without all of these necessities, so this is an important step in the process of finding the perfect venue.

Fitness Fun

Making fitness fun is paramount to laying the foundation for living a healthy, energized life. This is especially important for entrepreneurs. Here are a few reasons why exercising is so important not only for our physical health, but also our mental health.

Weight-loss: Even if you’re already at your ideal weight, maintaining your weight is important for preventing future weight-gain. Your metabolism won’t always be as efficient as it is currently, so help your future-self by starting good habits now.

Preventing Health Problems: Exercising boosts “good” cholesterol (HDL) and decreases unhealthy triglycerides. Exercising regularly can help prevent stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, certain types of cancer, arthritis, and falls!

Improves Mood: Even just a brisk 30 minute walk will stimulate the various chemicals in your brain that leave you feeling happy and relaxed.

Elevates Energy: Being physically active delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissue, allowing your cardiovascular system to work with less effort. This in turn will give you more energy to get things done throughout the day without that extra cup of coffee.

Improves Sleep: Getting good sleep is important to being successful in all that we do. Exercising can help you fall asleep faster and deepen the sleep you do get. This will allow you to wake up early and improve your productivity as an entrepreneur.

Walking is a great place to start, it’s easy and a low impact exercise. Walking at a fitness stride will provide you with all the health benefits of exercise listed above. Start at a meager 30 minutes a day and increase your time as the days go by. If you’re looking for fast weight-loss, walking may not be the right choice as a long-term exercise routine; however, walking will ease you into the habit of exercise and begin your weight-loss journey.

Choose If: You’re just starting to exercise again, you need a low impact exercise, you want to multi-task, you want an exercise that you can do anywhere, and/or you just need to maintain your weight.

Tips: While walking keep your head up (looking forward not at the ground), back relaxed, and arms swinging freely – this will maximize your results.

Have Fitness Fun: Get that project done while walking, try a treadmill desk for a convenient place to exercise and work all in one. Listen to podcasts or music while you walk.

Yoga is perfect for everyone. Whether you’re just starting to exercise or you’re an accomplished athlete – yoga can be customized to meet your needs. Yoga focuses on muscle toning and strengthening, deep breathing, and meditation to relax the mind. This is a great practice for entrepreneurs because it allows us to slow down and really listen to our bodies needs and desires.

Choose If: You need a low impact exercise, you want to strengthen your core, you want to strengthen your arms and legs, you want a program that you can do anywhere, and/or you want a program that has a lot of variety.

Tips: Do a few classes with an instructor before jumping into yoga alone – this will ensure you are doing the poses properly and will prevent injury.

Have Fitness Fun: Take the breathing and mind clearing seriously. Allow yourself to relax during your yoga sessions and don’t think about work – this will ensure a relaxing workout that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and ready to tackle anything.

Jogging is a great way to relieve stress and get an efficient workout all at the same time. This exercise is sure to make you sweat. You’ll burn plenty of calories, strengthen your bones and muscles, and workout your heart. Jogging is a great companionship exercise, find a friend to start jogging with you – this will hold you accountable and keep you on track. Whether you jog with a friend or alone, sign yourself up for a competitive run so you’ll have something to look forward to and be able to track your progress.

Choose If: You want faster weight-loss, you want a competitive exercise, you want a cardiovascular fitness routine, and/or your body can handle a high-impact exercise routine.

Tips: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your run. Get the proper shoes for running, you don’t want to risk an injury or generate shin splints (trust me).

Have Fitness Fun: Throw on some headsets and rock out to your favorite music or maybe listen to that audiobook you’ve been meaning to get to.

One of the newest trends to hit the fitness world is high intensity interval training (HIIT). This type of exercise encourages the participant to burn maximum calories in a minimum amount of time. The idea behind HIIT is to do short intervals of exercise followed by short intervals of active rest, which makes the body work harder than a regular cardio routine.

Choose If: You want short workouts, you want faster weight-loss, you want an intense workout, you want a cardiovascular fitness routine, and/or your body can handle a high-impact exercise routine.

Tips: Warm-up first. Eat something easily digestible 20-30 minutes before your workout (like a banana or a smoothie).

Have Fitness Fun: Listen to loud music during these sessions to motivate you to move, if you need a great sound system check out this awesome Bose system.

Let your inhibitions go and just dance. Join a jazz class, ballet class, hip-hop class, or just dance at home! Not only is dancing great for weight-loss, it builds and strengthens your bones. But you’re not just working your body while you dance you’re working your brain too. Memorizing dance moves and learning rhythm involves the brain and actually leads to a lower risk of dementia.

Choose If: You want to engage build and strengthen your bones, you want a cardiovascular fitness routine, and/or you want to keep your mind active and sharp.

Tips: Try different types of dance (you never know what you might like). Look up not down while dancing, relax and have fun.

Have Fitness Fun: Don’t just stick to Zumba, find a genre of dance that really interests you. Dress the part, the more you the commit the more fun you’ll have. Go out with your friends dancing, showoff your new moves!

Group classes are a good way to motivate your workouts. If you’re a competitive person, like me, group classes will not only push you to workout harder, but they make you commit the time to doing them (because you don’t want to be the one that bails out early, right?!). Try Pure Barre, a new workout class that utilizes ballet barre techniques, a total body workout that works on toning all areas. Also, look for Les Mills classes, these workouts range from lifting, cycling, cardio, core training, and dance.

Choose If: You are a competitive person, you workout more when held accountable, you like variety, and/or you want to challenge yourself.

Tips: Try different types of group classes – there are so many different classes available so find the best fit for you.

Have Fitness Fun: Pick out someone in the class and try to do better than them, make working out into a game. Participate in the crazy shouts and yells they incorporate throughout the class – this will help you relax and probably make you smile.

Working out from home and on your own time is ideal for the entrepreneur. There are hundreds of fitness routines and exercises to do from the comfort of your own home. Working out from home can cost you less time by cutting out the travel time to the gym, a hike, or dance class. You can virtually do any workout you want from home – especially if you invest in a treadmill and/or weights. Kick the morning off with some yoga in your living room and end the day with a heart-racing P90X workout.

Choose If: You like to workout at home, you don’t like to schedule workouts, you are a self-driven person, and/or you have limited time.

Tips: Dedicate a room in your house to exercise, set a timer for your workout sessions so you complete the entire routine and don’t get distracted.

Have Fitness Fun: Working out from home gives you endless options on how to make exercise more fun, include your kids, include your family, watch t.v., wear whatever you want – nobody’s judging you in your own home.

Sports aren’t just for kids. Join a local softball team, meet new people and have fun while you workout. Maybe soccer is more your vibe – kick around a soccer ball by yourself or find some friends to scrimmage with. A really great sport for entrepreneurs is golf. Invite investors or friends out onto the course with you – do business while you exercise. Or try swimming, a great low-impact sport that will not only workout your entire body, but give you ample time to clear your mind.

Choose If: You are a competitive person, you want to meet new people (potential customers and investors), you love sports, and/or you want to workout your mind as well as your body.

Tips: Make sure you acquire the right gear for whatever sport you choose. Always warm-up and stretch.

Have Fitness Fun: Joining a team sport will help you build relationships with new and old friends while also making your exercise time fly by.

Hiking is a terrific way to experience the world around you. After hours of phone calls and emails, getting some fresh air into the lungs and sunshine on the skin will renew your spirit and mind. Hiking books and apps provide elevation information and trail difficulty levels so you can determine what kind of workout each hike will provide. You don’t have to hike alone either, invite a friend to go hiking with you. This will push you and also provide conversation and fun while you exercise.

Choose If: You love nature, you want to customize your exercise, your want a cardio workout, and/or you want a reward at the end of a workout (seeing that beautiful view at the end of a hike).

Tips: Always carry water, bug spray, and sunscreen. Keep a towel in your car just in case you encounter mud or water (who knows you might just have an urge to run through that waterfall).

Have Fitness Fun: Make hiking a learning experience by identifying plants, animals, trees. Bring your dog or your camera for added fun.

Join a gym. Gyms are the classic workout choice for a reason, they have everything! From swimming pools, group classes, personal trainers, weights, ellipticals, stair-masters, and treadmills – gyms dominate the workout scene. Depending on your personality, gyms may also help you workout for longer than you would if you worked out alone. Overall, joining a gym will give you access to a variety of workouts and allow you pick and choose which machines and routines work best for you.

Choose If: You want to customize your workouts, you want to try a variety of machines, you want a cardio workout, and/or you like working out indoors.

Tips: Avoid peak times (unless you like crowds). Ask the staff about machines you don’t know how to use. Wear wicking gear.

Have Fitness Fun: Gyms have events, participate in a few! Try out the new cycling bikes that have a virtual trail for you to race on.

Becoming Marketing Active: The Fulcrum Guide to Getting Started with Business Marketing – In the first part of our guide to becoming marketing active door2door Marketing Professional in navi mumbai, we looked at some of the reasons that drive a business to start marketing (if you missed part one, check it out here). But once you’ve made the decision to embark on a marketing strategy for your business, what next? Where do you start and what steps should you take to ensure a smooth and successful process? As is so often the case in business (and life!), preparation is key. So before rushing into any kind of marketing, it’s important to take the time to plan, research and strategise for success. In order to create an effective marketing strategy, you need to develop a thorough understanding of your market, your competitors and your business itself. This means getting back to basics and equipping yourself with all the information you need to identify marketing activities that work for your brand. 1) Research your target market How much do you know about the target audience of your product or service? We’re not just talking about age, sex or occupation (though, of course, you need to know these too). To have the best chance of reaching your target market, you need to dig deeper and find out exactly what drives them towards purchase. What kind of triggers are they most likely to respond to? Which elements of the marketing mix have the most impact on them? How will your product or service benefit them? Understanding these aspects of your target audience will enable you to position and market your brand accordingly, so comprehensive market research is essential. It’s often easier (and more cost-effective) to outsource this type of research to a professional agency who will be better placed to obtain the information you need. 2) Analyse your competition In order to stay ahead of your competitors, you need to know who they are, what they’re doing and how they’re doing it. Once you’ve identified who your key business competitors are, look into the marketing methods they’re using and the way in which they have positioned their brand. What channels and platforms have they chosen to market their business? How are they promoting their brand and its products/services? Consider which elements are crucial to your own business and how you can position your brand in order to get ahead. 3) Define your objectives What do you want to achieve from your marketing activity? Whether it’s to increase your revenue, establish your business in a new market segment or improve brand awareness, setting clear, measurable marketing objectives is vital in understanding what steps need to be taken in order to achieve these goals. Make sure that each identified objective is specific (how much do you want to increase revenue by?), achievable (is it realistic?) and has a timeframe for accomplishment (are you aiming to achieve this goal in three months or a year?). You also need to make sure that your marketing objectives tie in with your overall business objectives. 4) Understand your business You may think you have a pretty good understanding of your business, but it’s surprising what insights can be achieved when you conduct a thorough SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats). Be rigorous, be meticulous, and above all be brutally honest. Is a lack of staff training letting your business down? Are your prices too high to compete in today’s market? Arming yourself with this knowledge is invaluable in developing a marketing strategy that leverages your company’s strengths and addresses those areas which need to be improved. In the next instalment of the Fulcrum guide to becoming marketing active, we’ll be looking at the raft of marketing channels available and helping you to identify which ones are best for your business.
