What is marketing really about?

Marketing is not just about sales, but the entire process of delivering value to a customer. This means that marketing cannot be checked off a "to-do" list; it's something that must be continuously worked on. The entire customer journey is influenced by marketing, and customers are what make a business profitable. Therefore, a significant part of marketing is about various types of communication aimed at the right customers at the right times.

An important aspect of marketing is brand building. Brand building is about creating the right impression of the company in the customer's mind. A balance between sales-promoting marketing activities and strong brand building is a combination that can contribute to a competitive advantage and increased market share.

Marketing to frugal consumers

When the average consumer seeks to spend less money, marketing becomes even more important. Tailoring communications and offers helps strengthen your brand, while also encouraging your customers to remain loyal. In this case, it might be especially relevant to highlight customers’ savings by choosing your brand over a competitor, in addition to rewarding returning customers. Such rewards may include exclusive offers, discounts and/or bonuses for repeat customers, thereby encouraging customers to maintain a long-term relationship with your brand.  

In order to maintain your brand’s competitive position, you should continuously monitor market trends, customer preferences and feedback. This allows you to adjust your marketing strategy as needed, while also ensuring that customers are happy with your brand and the offers they receive.
