10 Things To Have Completed BEFORE Spending A Dollar On Advertising

Note: This is a guest video and post from Scott Scully at Abstrakt Marketing. Disclosure: Abstrakt is a partner of The Rise To The Top, but I choose this post to feature because Scott knows what the heck he is talking about.

1. Brand – Who are you?  What do you do?
2. Competitive Positioning – How are you different from your competition?
3. Sales Presentation & Close Presentation
4. Sales Collaterals – brochures and sell sheets
5. Door Opener – For example, a “no charge audit”
6. Case Studies & Testimonials
7. Interactive Website with video
8. Search Engine Optimization
9. Social Media – Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and Blog
10. Customer Marketing – customer e-newsletter

Note from David: I’m definitely interested to hear your thoughts especially if you HAVE spent a dollar (or thousands) on advertising. Did you have these things in place? What was the result?
