The GRT Marketing Framework
The definition of marketing will differ depending on who you ask. My definition of marketing is summed up in 3 words: Gain. Retain. Thrive. Without customers there is no business so they must be our focus. To market well is to really understand them, serve them where they are, and make their experience so outstanding that they tell everyone they know. Add in some operational efficiencies and your business thrives.
Below are specifics within the GRT Marketing Framework. When we optimize these, we are building a great foundation that will feed into a happier business and ultimately, higher revenues and profits.
GAIN
RETAIN
THRIVE
What types of questions can an effective marketing strategy answer?! Take a look...
-
Gain
How do I market my business? Who is my ideal client? How do I find my target audience? What are they searching for? How can I best reach them? How and how often should I communicate? What social media platform(s) should I be using? What should my messaging be? How do I promote my product or service? How do I advertise my business? How do I convert someone to become a customer once they show interest?
-
Retain
How do I know if my customers are happy? How can I improve customer satisfaction? What can I do to improve customer loyalty? What can I do to increase referrals? How do I improve team morale? How do I reduce employee turnover? How do I retain our best talent?
-
Thrive
How do I get my online reviews up and better? What data do I already have that can help me reduce costs and increase revenue? Based on my historical data, what trends can I expect and plan for? How can I better use my time and my talents' time? What is working well that I should be doing more of? What should I cut out that's not productive?
