The Most Important Decision You Must Make About Your Next Small Business Marketing Campaign

Expert Author Wesley B Murph

So you own and operate a small business.

And you'd like more (better quality) new customers. The kind of person who pays, stays and refers their friends, and that never give you a hard time on your prices.

Right?

Well, count yourself lucky since you are like many other business owners out there looking for the same kind of person. The good news is you can find him or her, and attract them to your small business. But you must first make a very big decision that will have an impact on not only the results of your next small business marketing campaign... but... that will also dictate the kind of operation you run.

Is your business full of good quality customers that make your business fun?

Or is it loaded top to bottom with price shoppers that can make your business a living nightmare?

That's up to you when you ask yourself and answer this one simple question.

Let's take a look at what that is right now.

The Most Important Decision You Must Make Before Launching Your Next Small Business Marketing Campaign:

Let me explain this concept with a short story.

Not too long ago, a guy bought some consulting time with me. And one of the first things out of his mouth was the fact that his business was dragging him down.

Why?

Because many of his customers did not value quality, instead all they wanted was the lowest price. This made my client feel bad because he really enjoyed what he sold. He saw a lot of value in it. And it was somewhat different from what his competition sold.

So why then were his customers only focused on price?

It's simple:

Because his advertising was attracting these kinds of shoppers since it used low-priced coupon style marketing. Think about it like this: If you went fishing, what kind of bait would you put on your hook to catch the kind of fish you wanted? That's right. You'd use the kind of bait good quality fish want. Every other kind of bait you'd discard since it wouldn't attract a good quality fish. Make sense?

And while this is a simple analogy, it also applies in a big way to your small business marketing.

You see you must first get crystal clear on the kind of person you want to attract to your business. Is it a low-price shopper? Is it a high end client? Is it someone in between?

There is no right or wrong answer. Every business is different. But know this: The kind of person your small business marketing campaigns attract will determine the kind of business you operate.

This is a very important decision too many business owners don't think about which is why many feel emotionally "trapped" by their business.
