SECTION 4 4.1 MARKETING PLAN 4.2 MARKETING PLAN TO BE ADOPTED The key competitors in the technology industry in the entire states are few and spread over the six western states. The other player are several unstructured micro and small poultry farmers. We are entering the market as a structured player and has plans to identify and exploit the comfortable market share use areas of focus in our marketing plan are: -aggressive awareness creation and marketing campaign - Attractive pricing policy to stimulate demand. - Direct delivery services (when preferred) to our customers - Discount offer to bulk buyers 4.3 PROMOTION AND DISTRIBUTION STRATEGY We will mount an aggressive awareness campaign to draw potential customers’ attention to our presence; we will make use of the handbills, flyers, posters to reach out to both corporate and individual customers As the business grows, improved publicity approach will be employed- print and electronic media will be put to good use .on the distribution strategy, we plan to adopt the following approach. As a technology company, it’s important to utilize modern marketing methods to increase our reach and deliver relevant content to our key demographic. Inbound marketing is a methodology that uses storytelling and remarkable content to attract our company’s best demographic – the demographic who drives revenue. our companies have a new privilege (not the right) to deliver anticipated, personal and relevant messages to people who actually want to get them. This new type of marketing recognizes customers have the power to ignore marketing and it treats people with respect to earn their attention and brand loyalty. Just like you wouldn’t make a first impression by immediately asking a customer in a showroom for the sale, we shouldn’t do that in digital marketing either.we Start by focusing on the relationship. Inbound marketing focuses on building relationships with key personas and nurturing potential customers through a process until you’ve earned their trust and are positioned as a key resource to fulfill their needs. At that point, it’s a softer and easier sell. The Inbound Marketing Methodology Inbound marketing is being adopted by thousands of companies around the world who value attracting qualified leads by offering relevant, helpful, value-added content. This proven method of marketing is directly aligned with the buyer’s journey, and unlike often-costly outbound marketing techniques, inbound strategies won’t fight for your potential customers’ attention. If your company is creating content designed specifically to address every need of your ideal customer, you will attract your revenue-driving demographic and build trust. We can do this through a 4-stage process: Attract Think of our company as a flower. As a flower, do you want to attract a house fly? No. Do you want to attract a butterfly? Possibly, but not ideally. You want a bumble bee. Anybody can visit our website, but we don’t want just anybody, and not everybody wants us. The use of inbound marketing will help our ideal customers find us when they’re looking for us. our ideal customer is researching how to solve a problem they’re experiencing, and when they discover a piece of content we wrote addressing this specific need, they will evolve from a stranger to a visitor. Examples of content that will help attract strangers: Blogging Frequent and relevant social media posts Utilizing the keywords our key demographic use in search engines Developing webpages and landing pages that address our target audience’s problems Convert Now that we attracted the right customer to land on our site, the next step is to convert our visitor into a lead. This can easily be done digitally, without employing the use of our sales team. Remember, we don’t want to push away the visitor by asking them to make a purchase too quickly. This is the stage where we develop the relationship and earn our visitor’s trust. Open the conversation in a way that works best for them. Maybe it’s gathering their information on a landing page form by offering them something in return, for example: a downloadable guide, eBook, or white paper. Once we’re able to connect with visitor, nurture the relationship by providing relevant information about solutions to their needs and nurture them to become leads. Examples of tools that will help convert visitors to leads: Calls-to-Action Landing Pages Forms Virtual messaging and chats CRM Close For our salespeople eager to make the ask, the first two steps may feel like you’re delaying a potential sale. It’s important to have patience and keep in mind that not everyone who becomes a visitor transitions into a qualified lead. And qualified leads don’t all become customers. It all depends on their position in the buyer’s journey.In the situations when the lead are qualified and would be an ideal customer of ours, how can we effectively transition the relationship into one where a sale is made? You do this through effective use of big data, lead nurturing, email, and lead scoring. For example, our emails should have relevant calls to action, and the lead nurturing campaign should be guiding them further through the buyer’s journey until finally your lead becomes a customer. Examples of tools that will help convert leads to customers: Pipeline management Lead nurturing Email Predictive lead scoring Delight This stage is crucial but is often overlooked by companies focused so intently on new customers. It’s critical to build and grow our customer satisfaction and retention rates. our customers have higher expectations of our business because of the level of respect we treated them with throughout their process to become a customer. We wont fail them now. We will Continue to engage and delight our customers by asking them questions, offering them special content, and deliver them the tools to continue to be successful with their products. The happier our customer is, the more they will buy and serve as brand ambassadors in their own networks. Examples of tools that will help delight customers into becoming promoters: Smart content designed exclusively for existing customers Virtual and real conversations Customer-only specials Workflows What is the Buyer’s Journey? We’ve all been in a store with an overzealous sales person showing us the newest product on the shelf, pushing us to buy it, making us uncomfortable and eager to remove ourselves from the situation. We were only there to browse after all. On the flip side, how frustrating is it when you’re shopping for something specific and you walk in the store and see mostly empty shelves? Whether you are window shopping or ready to make a purchase, both stages are equally important in the buyer’s journey. According to HubSpot, the buyer’s journey is the process buyers go through to become aware of, evaluate, and purchase a new product or service. This journey is a three-step process: Let’s break down these stages: Awareness Stage: the buyer realizes they have a problem. Consideration Stage: the buyer defines their problem and researches options to solve it.

Decision Stage: the buyer chooses a solution. Here is a scenario where each stage is clearly illustrated: Awareness Stage: I work for a technology company having a hard time reaching my target market oversees. Consideration Stage: I see that inbound marketing would be a good fit for our company, but I’m not sure I have the bandwidth to implement a new strategy. Decision Stage: I can try to get by with what we’ve always done, but I’m still not reaching those potential clients. Or I can hire an agency dedicated to supporting their clients through inbound marketing. I’ll hire the agency. It’s important to be aware which phase our potential client is currently in, and it will help us determine the content they should receive. If a potential client is familiar with our product, should they receive the same content we would provide a stranger in the Attract phase of inbound methodology? Perhaps a blog or guide about your services would be a better fit because they are in the consideration stage of the buyer’s journey. If we’re unsure what kinds of challenges and problems our customers are facing in their awareness stage of the buyer’s journey, it’s a good idea to get a better understanding. Ask them questions through online surveys or hold interviews. Your company’s salespeople are also good resources to help you understand what your average customer’s buyer journey looks like. Below are sample questions recommended used to discover more about your target customer’s buyer journey: Awareness Stage Consideration Stage Decision Stage How do buyers describe their goals or challenges? What categories of solutions do buyers investigate? What criteria do buyers use to evaluate the available offerings? How do buyers educate themselves on these goals or challenges? How do buyers educate themselves on the various categories? When buyers investigate your company’s offering, what do they like about it compared to alternatives? What concerns do they have with your offering? What are the consequences of inaction by the buyer? How do buyers perceive the pros and cons of each category? Who needs to be involved in the decision? For each person involved, how does their perspective on the decision differ? Are there common misconceptions buyers have about addressing the goal or challenge? How do buyers decide which category is right for them? Do buyers have expectations around trying the offering before they purchase it? How do buyers decide whether the goal or challenge should be prioritized? Outside of purchasing, do buyers need to make additional preparations, such as implementation plans or training strategies? Once we identify our buyer’s journey, we be sure to provide relevant content for each stage that is tied back to the 4 stages of inbound marketing methodology. If we’re serving up the right content at the right time for our potential customers, we’re going to edge out the competition and gain the trust of our customers. Remember, no one likes to be sold, so we use inbound marketing to educate and build trust with potential customers and our existing database. As a technology company, you’re faced with finding an audience who exists beyond the borders of your geographic location. We can help our customers find us by using inbound marketing. 4.4 ALLIANCES At start up, we do not intend to go into alliance with any organization, however as the business grows, consideration could be given to alliance arrangement depending on market dynamics. 4.5 MARKET POSITIONING: We will position our self as structured, proactive and focused technology firm.
