Why you need a communications strategy

Why you need a communications strategy

It’s the start of a new financial year and, by now, you should have your budget fixed for the year but have you factored communications into it? A well-planned and effective communications strategy can have numerous benefits for your business. It can also prove more cost-effective than many marketing tactics.

Here are my top 5 communications tips:

  1. Build brand awareness. Do your target customers know about you? If not, what are you waiting for? Think about your USP and what sets you apart from the competition.
  1. Enhance your reputation. Communications can grow credibility in your business through transparency about what you offer and how you can help current and prospective clients.
  1. Upsell without the hard sell. Upselling is a tried-and-tested business tactic but are you doing it in the right way to avoid the hard sell? There are many communications tactics you can employ to encourage your current customers to do more business with you without using a sales pitch.
  1. Use social media to grow your business. It might be daunting to get started but it’s a brilliant communications tool once you have your plan in place.
  1. Increase loyalty. By making your business relationships two-way though improved communication, you can build loyalty among your customers. This will also help you and your business to be less transactional and more about how you make life easier for your clients.
