When planning your marketing, always create a solid marketing strategy first. Without a solid strategy, you could be throwing money at tools you don’t need or that aren’t the right fit for your business. That’s why my mantra is always strategy first, tools second. That comes from 20+ years of experience in media and marketing. The right tools enhance your strategy. The wrong tools, or tools at the wrong time, will make a strategic mess even more difficult to handle.
Marketing Strategy First. Tools Second.
