25 must have items on your marketing checklist

Checklists are a great way to ensure things do not slip through the cracks. With my brain being bombarded with so much information and with the need to be productive, I do not trust my memory to remember the right things at the right time. So whether it is grocery shopping or business analysis or marketing, I always work with a checklist.

Here are over twenty high-level items that should be on your marketing check list you might want to use. Expand it to include or exclude items as it suites your business.

Developed? Using?
Is it Effective?
1. Business Name      
2. Logo/Graphics      
3. Tag Line      
4. “Elevator” Pitch      
5. Company Profile      
6. Management Profile      
7. Brochure      
8. Product/Service Description - Fact Sheet      
9. Competition - Fact Sheet      
10. Latest News Releases      
11. Offline Ad Channels      
12. Online Ad Channels      
13. Direct mail - snail mail      
14. Direct mail - email      
15. Business cards

It is important you evaluate the effectiveness of each of the marketing tools you deploy. Your small business may be on a limited budget. Why waste resources on tools that do not deliver a high ROI?

Hence you need a tracking system, that will enable you to determine the effectiveness of your marketing efforts.
