As the temperatures rise and the days grow longer, it's time to embrace the season of sun, sand, and strategic thinking. While your competitors may be taking a marketing breather during the laid-back days of summer, you don't have to. Use this time to gain a competitive edge. While your competitors are cooling their heels in the sand, you can revamp your strategies for the months ahead.
Here are three strategic steps to take during the summer months:
1. Reflect on the performance of your spring and early summer campaigns. What resonated with your audience, and what fell flat? By analyzing these insights, you can fine-tune your approach and set yourself up for success in the fall.
2. Establish clear goals. Whether adjusting your marketing mix, defining new target segments or personas, or infusing your campaigns with fresh seasonal tie-ins, setting specific objectives will guide your efforts and keep you on track.
3. Evaluate your metrics. How are you evaluating the success of your campaigns? Are your metrics the right ones to lead you to success? For example, are you still using simple response rates when conversions or order sizes would give you better insight?
