Even if you launched your business years ago, it might be time to revisit and refresh your marketing plan. Technology, the economy and consumer habits have dramatically changed, which can impact every aspect of your business. This makes it vital to re-examine your long- and short-term advertising strategies.

Here are some points to consider while developing your new plan, from Marsha Friedman, CEO of EMSI Public Relations.

  • What is my message? What makes your product unique? How is it different from those offered by the competition?
  • Who is my audience? It might be bigger than you think. Consider the people who buy your product for others instead of for themselves.
  • Which outlets are appropriate for your audience? Twitter isn’t great for older demographics and day TV isn’t suited for working professionals.
  • What’s my budget? The best ideas are useless if you can’t afford them.
