Helping Businesses Grow Through

Sales & Marketing

SME MARKETING PLANNING TO IMPLEMENTATION

Marketing for small and medium-sized businesses is an uphill battle. Limited budgets often restrict their access to essential resources such as cutting-edge technology, and specialised professionals. The result? Wasted time and money that could be better spent on customer service and core business operations.

Time constraints add to the challenge as SME owners juggle multiple responsibilities, leaving little room for strategic planning. Furthermore, the ever-evolving nature of marketing creates a knowledge gap, hindering their ability to stay updated on effective strategies. Lastly, the absence of sophisticated analytics tools makes measuring and analysing marketing efforts a significant hurdle.

Frequently asked questions
Kettering Motorist Centre [KMC]

Despite being a busy and successful garage that's been trading for twenty years, we knew we had to continue marketing our services as the local market is competitive. We didn't have the time to do it ourselves and tried to recruit a marketing assistant, without much success! Steve is a very experienced marketing consultant with a range of marketing systems. He has helped us plan and implement several marketing campaigns that have helped raise our profile, generated sales and saved us time. We would recommend Steve and Activate Business Development without hesitation.

...gained a detailed understanding of our business needs and put in place the marketing we needed including; an editable website with content management and analytics, a CRM platform, six sided brochure and an advert in the local media. Steve has also been sending email campaigns and set up a direct mail system to contact our database. He used a telemarketing agent to follow up these mailings and book appointments for our sales team. We would thoroughly recommend Steve as a retained marketing manager.
