Throughout history, traditional marketing and advertising have led the way. In fact, they were the only way. Magazines, newspapers, print ads, billboards, radio spots, and – more recently – TV ads have been relied upon to do the heavy lifting. But since the mid-2000s, that’s all changed. The growth of the internet gave way to the rise of digital marketing, and the rest is history.

While digital marketing has certainly paved the way for greater reach and more cost-effective engagement – something that’s critically important for small businesses with limited budgets – there’s still one big challenge: integration.

We’re talking about a tangible expression of what you want for your customers. In other words, what dream are you trying to help them achieve?

2. Create Detailed Personas

It always starts with your brand. But once you have the bedrock of your brand figured out, it’s time to quickly shift gears and start thinking about your audience, who they are, and what they want. This is best done through the creation of detailed personas.

A detailed customer persona digs into the demographics, hopes, dreams, expectations, and preferences of your audience. The average brand will have three to five different personas. And while there will be some overlap between them, each effectively operates independently. The goal of an integrated marketing plan is to utilize strategies that allow you to reach each without compromising on brand consistency.

3. Choose Your Services
