SME Unique Brand Positioning Course & Consulting

Small and medium business tend to run into a messaging problem where they communicate a good message, such as ‘we deliver fresh organic food’, rather than a unique message. So what happens, is that their target audience don’t really know why they are unique and why they stand out among competitors.

SMEs have a tough time working on that unique message when they have so much else going on!

That’s why I created this course, coaching and consulting process to get them to arrive at a professionally crafted message to send out on digital as well as traditional platforms.

This is more than an online course as it includes group coaching and individual consulting.

POSITIONING QUADRANT

I cringe when I see, particularly small to medium businesses, marketing themselves with generic, ‘good’ messages. Appeal to everyone and win no one. Develop a niche message and increase your profitability.

ADVERTISING LANDSCAPE

Reviewing the need for digital advertising and the understanding the paid vs. organic options. Setting a budget and choosing the right supplier.

REMARKETING

I share my classic analogy – the pair of red shoes that follows me around the internet! Why and how remarketing is used and whether it is a strategic move on your part.

TRAINING FOR JUNIOR EMPLOYEES
