You have an idea for a product. Or maybe a service. You might already own a business. You could be an entrepreneur with a dream or a veteran business leader who has been around the block a time or two.
You are all different but what is the common denominator for success? You can’t go it alone. Every business must market its products and services and the place to start is working with experts to develop a strategic marketing campaign.
That can quite possibly sound daunting or even out of reach for a small business owner. It may seem entirely unnecessary for an established business with significant brand awareness. But both would be wrong if they want to build, maintain, and grow a business that is sustainable and profitable far into the future. Whom do you trust for this expertise?

Questions Asked and Answered
This can be an interesting, highly informative conversation. Let’s start with your goals. Do you know what they are? We can discuss building brand recognition, launching products, increasing traffic, and improving customer engagement just to name a few.
This is the perfect time to conduct a marketing audit. Are you familiar with what you have used? What worked and what didn’t? Are you familiar with the numerous platforms available to market your business? There might be a few you have missed, and if so, then you probably lost some potential customers and revenue.
Here’s the next big question: Who is your audience? Don’t say everyone. That’s a huge group and not necessarily correct. This is where strategic analysis plays a crucial role. We will help you target the correct people for the corresponding product or service. This efficient approach to gaining new customers is based on the numbers we gather from our intense scrutiny of algorithms and how we apply that knowledge to increase customer engagement and sales.
Who is your competition? Again, everyone is not the correct answer. This answer is vital as CDMG hones your message to reveal to your audience why you are unique and how your business will exceed expectations and transfer allegiance from competitors with whom they are familiar.
