Some old marketing things will simply never go away.

Have you given any thought to your Unique Selling Position when designing your web marketing strategy?  Only after you have designed and crafted it with your team, can you successfully implement your vision/strategy with your online marketing, search engine optimization tactics and social media activities.   This will help position you in the business market?

If you have answered no, you have some work to do.

At Ulistic, our USP is totally zeroed in on empowering our clients to do their own online marketing using the solutions, services and tools the entire Ulistic team use ourselves.  We help our clients understand and master the fine art of marketing business online.  The clients we serve win because of our focus on training how they can either elect to do their own social media and search engine optimization or at least have a complete understanding of the process before they outsource the work to our team of Calgary SEO professionals.

Do you know what your USP is?

Many small businesses have no clue on what makes them unique or even why they exist in the first place?  Some have an idea but can not clearly share it.  Many times it ends up being a personal communications challenge vs. anything else.  If you need proof just go to your local Chamber of Commerce breakfast or networking event and you can see examples of both those who don’t have a clue what positions their business and who may know but have a disconnect from what they think to what they share verbally.

Why would I do business with you over the other guy who sells the exact same piece of hardware or provides similar types of services?

Sometimes it just comes down to communicating with you clients, teaching them something new, showing them a new way to do things and provide that extra amount of care and attention the other guy doesn’t offer.  Sounds pretty simple, however most companies fail at the simple tasks of communicating effectively.

Enter the endless money pit!

I have a tough time sleeping when I know someone is going down the wrong track and they are blind to everything around them. Helping the clients we serve understand their own unique selling position is critical.  My intention is to never work with a client until they know where they want to go. I can simply help them get there.

Before you embark on any social media campaign or even speak with a social media consultant you need to have a clue on why your business exists in the first place.  There are plenty of coaches and mentors or simply speak with someone who can assist you in crafting your message.
