Getting More From Your Marketing Without Doing More

12 noon

Most small businesses aren't short of marketing activity. There's a website, some LinkedIn, networking, emails, events and perhaps the occasional campaign. The harder question is whether all that activity is actually helping people know you, trust you and ultimately choose you. Ralph looks at how trust is built long before a buyer is ready to talk — and why some of the marketing you're already doing may be showing up too late. You'll leave with a simple way to see where your marketing is helping build trust and where it isn't, practical examples of what works before, during and after a buying decision, and a clearer idea of where to focus first.

Getting more from your marketing without doing more

7:30–9:00am
Hogs Back Hotel & Spa, Farnham

Most small businesses aren't short of marketing activity. There's a website, some LinkedIn, networking, emails, events and perhaps the occasional campaign. The harder question is whether all that activity is actually helping people know you, trust you and ultimately choose you. Ralph looks at how trust is built long before a buyer is ready to talk — and why some of the marketing you're already doing may be showing up too late. You'll look at where your marketing is working, where you may be missing opportunities, and some simple ways to make what you're already doing work harder — because the answer isn't always doing more, sometimes it's doing what you're already doing more deliberately.
