Marketing Advice By Business Type

Marketing a Speech Correction Program

The value and earning capacity of a speech correction school largely depends on the quality of its marketing efforts. But great marketing takes a lot more than hanging a shingle and hoping for the best.

Marketing is not a siloed business function. It's a cross-organizational discipline with ramifications for your balance sheet and earnings statement.

Strategic marketing tactics can help small speech correction schools scale their visibility with consumers. What small companies lack in resources, they can make up for in marketing intelligence and expertise.

Directories

There are many different kinds of directories in which to list a speech correction school. Directory selection is often dictated by the market when promoting speech correction schools in a region or territory. Premium directories may or may not deliver the ROI you expect to receive from paid marketing vehicles. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Some directories may also let you list more than your name and contact information, so be sure to ask whether your listing can include a logo and other information about your business.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Logo development in a speech correction school is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Logos aren't something that can be changed overnight so it's important to put some thought into logo design. With a lot riding on a logo, it's worth the investment to hire a professional marketing and design firm for your logo needs.

Multichannel Marketing Strategies

There are a lot of benefits to taking a multichannel approach to marketing. Today's consumers engage with brands in diverse ways. That means brands need to demonstrate similar diversity in the channels they employ to connect with customers.

In today's marketplace, it simply isn't possible for speech correction schools that funnel the bulk of their resources toward a single marketing channel to create an acceptable market footprint. For many companies, multichannel can mean completely revamping their marketing strategy to include a broader mix of media and information venues. The acquisition of reliable mailing lists from proven providers can expedite the transition, but ultimately your efforts to go multichannel may require the assistance of a marketing professional.
