Working with Lobster

The challenge for businesses in 2011 is keeping up with the pace of change. There has been a revolution in marketing over the last few years and it’s refusing to stop.

Businesses can no longer rely on the traditional forms of marketing such as print, radio, tv or direct mail. Consumers are getting smarter and relying more and more on recommendations from trusted friends and family before making a purchasing decision.

The recent explosion of social media has rewritten the marketing text books again and businesses just like yours are falling behind before they’ve even started.

What does this mean for your business?

Consumers are starting to expect a greater amount of contact with the brands that they love. They want to connect on Facebook and Twitter, watch exclusive video on YouTube and have a wider experience than simply buying the product or service.

You can no longer simply rely on an advert in the local press, yellow pages or on the local radio station. Your various marketing campaigns can no longer stand alone, independent of each other. You have to reach out to customers across all platforms with a consistent and clear message that drives a dialogue between you, your customer and crucially, their friends and relatives.

Do you have the resources?

Whereas businesses could get away with marketing via a limited number of channels, these days the marketing message has to be spread over a wider area but, more importantly, the approach you take when engaging the customer has changed and can no longer be a direct sales message.

Understanding each platform and creating a holistic marketing strategy that will work is what we at Lobster do. We stay on top of the technology of marketing so that our clients don’t have to and we can put your message out to your customers and prospects so that they find you, engage with you and advocate you to their friends and contacts.
