5 signs your business needs a marketing makeover
It would be nice to think that once you’ve figured out a marketing plan for your business, you can just rinse and repeat. But the truth is that it’s all too easy to fall into a marketing rut. You can be part of the most stable industry in the world, but there will always be changes in the wider world that will affect your business. And the last thing you want is to be using yesterday’s marketing plan for the problems of today! So how do you know when it’s time for a refresh? Here are 5 signs your business needs a marketing makeover:

The first sign is the most obvious: you’re not generating any buzz. Engagement is down on your social media accounts, your website traffic is flatlining, and your phone isn’t ringing. In today’s digital age, silence is deafening – and a clear sign that something you’re doing isn’t working. Whether it’s because of a change that you made, your ads getting stale, or social media platforms changing the algorithm yet again, if engagement is down, it’s time to get a fresh set of eyes on your marketing plan.

Are people getting you mixed up with your competition? That’s a sign that your brand lacks a clear identity. Maybe you’ve been running the same ads for multiple years in a row, and they’ve become background noise. It’s one thing to be consistent, but don’t let your consistency become complacency! The opposite can also be a problem – if your messaging and branding are inconsistent, it’s possible that your brand doesn’t have enough of an identity to be memorable.

Every marketer knows that you need data to inform your decisions. But just gathering the data isn’t enough: you need to understand it! If impressions are up but conversions are down, do you know what to do? If your marketing reports are a mystery, it’s time to consider partnering with an agency (or revisiting your existing agency relationship). Without the ability to understand your metrics, you can’t measure your return on investment (ROI) and have no idea what’s working (or worse, what’s not).

Let’s face it: the marketing world is in a constant state of change. It can be a lot for even a full team to manage! If you’re overwhelmed by the ever-changing marketing landscape, you’re not alone. It’s a lot to juggle social media, content creation, SEO, email campaigns, and whatever is coming around the corner. Sometimes you need to call in reinforcements.

It’s important to keep an eye on your competition – and if they’re pulling ahead, it’s worth analyzing why. Did they partner with a new agency and get attention-grabbing new creatives? Are they offering special deals that can’t be ignored? Have they crushed it on the branding and awareness front and now everyone knows their name? Whatever the reason, it’s a good idea to have your team get to the bottom of it or have your agency do it for you. It’s likely that you can replicate some of their success with the right strategic team researching and backing you up.
