The Power Of An Annual Marketing Plan
In the past decade we’ve worked with thousands of clients in the Aesthetic Industry and it has become very clear that there are three key indicators required for growth and profit; Finance, Operations, and Marketing. From our experience, we’ve discovered that there are specific systems and processes that practices can implement in order to take revenue and profit to the next level.
Today, we are focusing on what we believe is the most critical system to your growth as a practice; an Annual Marketing Plan. Why is an annual marketing plan so important? A solid Annual Marketing Plan will increase revenue, decrease excessive marketing spend, cross clients into new services, maintain your bottom line, even out cash flow and create high surges in revenue with quarterly sales events.
3 Key Essentials
Developing an effective AMP does take planning, but it doesn’t have to take a lot of time. We believe that within 3 strategy sessions you too can complete a plan for success.
Throughout this workbook we will guide you through our 3 Key Essentials of an annual marketing plan. Our goal will be to strategically narrow your marketing focus, improve consistency and layering of your overall message, and teach you how to build powerful promotions in order to reach new clients and increase conversion and closing ratios.
