What is Marketing? Many believe it is the critical support function of selling, assisting Sales in selling more quickly, more cost effectively, and profitably. Marketing helps organizations reduce their new customer acquisition costs, and reduces their existing customer management overhead.
Marketing helps you develop clear, consistent messaging to all of your stakeholders. Finally, Marketing helps you leverage your strengths … the “UVA”-unique value add that you bring to the marketplace.
Fact:
· Less than 50% of all companies have any type of well-researched marketing strategy.
· Emails that contain social sharing buttons increase click-through rates by 158%!
· 33% of organic search engine traffic click on the first item listed.
These stats are from Webdam.com and they highlight an important trend … more and more marketing is taking place through digital media. In fact, Internet advertising alone will make up 25% of all ad marketing budgets in 2015. $135 billion was spent on digital marketing in 2014.
Wow.

Success Is in the Marketing
No matter what kind of product you have, no matter how incredible, innovative, or planet changing it might be, unless you know your target market and how to best reach it, sales will be less than they should be.
Apple was revolutionary for its time, but even as incredible as the Apple I and II were, as earth shattering as the iPod and then iPhone and iPad have been, it was their marketing they drove the success. People didn’t just start lining up for the iPod because they heard somewhere that it was a cool music player.
It’s because Apple was a marketing mastermind. They knew exactly who to target and how to do it.
That’s what SBS can do for your business.
