Strategic Marketing Plan

CMOco doesn’t just head straight into execution without a strategic marketing and advertising plan in hand to guide us. We ensure that the marketing and advertising activities we recommend are rooted in research and are designed to grow your business the fastest and most efficient way possible. Having a roadmap for success is key to any business plan, and it’s no different for your marketing and advertising plan. We listen to your goals and then craft specific and focused marketing and advertising tactics that help you achieve those goals.

Strategic Marketing

Many hospitality and tourism businesses make the mistake of creating ad campaigns without first having a sound strategy in place. You can have the most creative ad campaign on the planet, but if it’s not rooted in sound strategy the campaign will almost always fail. CMOco excels at developing comprehensive strategic marketing plans designed to deliver superior results. Before we develop any campaigns, we know who is most likely going to be interested in your establishment, where to reach them, and we’ll know what motivates them PRIOR to spending your money on advertising initiatives. Our goal is to be smart with your money, and to do that, you have to have a strategic plan.

We root our campaigns in sound strategy by first developing a strategic marketing plan.

Your brand has to be memorable while also reflecting your personality and what your business stands for.

Advertising Campaigns

You don’t necessarily have to spend thousands each month in advertising to get your business seen by your target customers. By first having a strategic plan in place, CMOco knows who your target customers are, what they care about, and what will motivate them to visit your establishment. We also know how to reach them and have a full understanding of how they decide where to eat, what tourist attractions they’ll visit, and what will inspire foot traffic and sales. From traditional to non-traditional advertising initiatives, we will craft a creative and compelling ad campaign that gets the job done!

An ad campaign doesn't need to spend thousands each month as long as there's a strong strategy behind it.

Digital Marketing

The digital era is a great thing for businesses! Especially consumer facing businesses like hospitality and tourism brands. Think about how you personally research and learn about entertainment brands. Primarily through searching the web right? Well, we understand how to leverage the internet and other digital marketing strategies to get your brand in front of consumers while they are doing their research. If they aren’t researching? Well, we want your brand in front of them while they are on social media, checking the latest news, or booking their next trip. CMOco understands digital marketing, knows how to utilize it to maximize your presence, and develops strategies to help build awareness for your business and drive sales conversion.

With digital marketing we can target the consumer in very specific ways depending on your business goals.
A great looking website is crucial for any business.

Websites 

Need a great looking, highly optimized, informational website for your Hospitality and/or Tourism business? You don’t have to spend 20, 30 or 40-thousand dollars to have a great looking website that ranks in search and is a strong reflection of your brand. Why waste a ton of money building a website when your goal is to get people in your restaurant, hotel or theme park? Take that money and invest it in advertising – not your website! Yes, you need a great site that showcases your business, is easy to navigate, and inspires action, but you don’t necessarily need a site that can launch the space shuttle! Call CMOco. We can share numerous examples of our work in this industry and provide the data that shows our websites work!

Content Marketing

Don’t stop at ad campaigns, social media and digital marketing to promote your business! Take your company all the way to the top by adding in strong content marketing to your advertising mix. Blogs, industry thought-leadership, contributing content development are all great ways to layer another marketing component onto other advertising initiatives. These activities raise your rank in organic search, get your brand additional exposure, and increase positive consumer perceptions. CMOco leverages every opportunity available to build awareness for your business, and we can assist you in the development of strong content creation to fully remove that burned from you.

Strong content marketing is the basis for any business. It works throughout all the layers of your business and advertising mix.
