Marketing promotion planning: 80% of event planning mistakes are easy to make!

Marketing promotion planning: 80% of event planning mistakes are easy to make!

Every marketing planner hopes that his or her activities will be a hit.

But in fact, most marketing and promotion activities are self-indulgent and fail to achieve the desired results, or are even ineffective.

Why? There are many factors that determine whether a planned event can be successful. From the early planning stage to the specific implementation, every detail may affect the final result.

Today I will list four common mistakes in marketing campaigns.

1. Assumptions

This mistake is most often made by novice planners. Some people do not even do scope-limited testing for a piece of copy or an activity, and just make assumptions based on their own ideas. As a result, they often end up doing useless work. This is also the main reason why many people fail in marketing. The frustration of failed activities makes people feel that the threshold of this industry is very high.

In fact, even the most experienced marketers need to understand a lot of product details, user group preferences and other information. Finding a breakthrough from this information can often hit the user's G-spot in one go. For example, the advertisement of Shenzhou Special Car studied the shortcomings of its competitors and inserted them directly and forcefully. On the one hand, it emphasized the shortcomings of its competitors, and on the other hand, it enhanced the popularity of its own brand.

This took a lot of time to research in the early stages. It is a good marketing method to find a market suitable for yourself by studying the shortcomings of your competitors.

2. Imitation and following trends

How many marketing planners’ plans are original? In order to be "lazy", we have all borrowed other people's plans to a certain extent. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this. When you are completely out of ideas, there is nothing wrong with referring to others. However, reference and imitation does not mean blindly following the trend. Generally speaking, what is imitated is only the form, while the actual core is not suitable for imitation.

Many industries are fully competitive, with limited user choices, too many products and services, and supply exceeding demand. Imitating others' practices will directly lead to marketing ineffectiveness.

Moreover, the most clever way of imitation is to imitate the logic behind it, rather than what you see on the surface. Analyze more and look at the essence from the phenomenon, and you will not follow the trend blindly.

3. Data collection, monitoring, feedback, and analysis

Too many people think that after planning an event in the early stages, they can then start executing it step by step according to the original plan once the event goes online. Of course, the early plan is for the subsequent orderly implementation. However, you must know that plans often cannot keep up with changes, and the situation after the activity goes online is unpredictable during previous planning. What should I do?

Data collection, analysis, and feedback. Every detail needs to be monitored by data, and the data feedback on certain details will affect the next strategy, which is related to the overall marketing effect.

4. Retain users

If you check the drainage effect again, there will always be a little bit of traffic coming in, and this little bit of traffic can sometimes have a big effect, because they will be the main force of self-propagation. But in reality, we found that some traffic came in, but it could not be retained and the conversion rate was low. In this case, it is a problem with product and service, and no matter how much traffic is attracted, it will be a waste. If you only think about traffic and promotion without investing some energy into optimizing conversion retention, then it is likely that the traffic will be a waste of money and you will not get satisfactory results in the end.

To sum up, why did the marketing campaign fail to meet expectations?

1. Make assumptions based on your imagination and plan your plans based on your imagination

2. Imitation and blind following

3. No real-time data feedback

4. Not focusing on retaining users

Of course, there are other reasons. The above are the most common ones and are for reference only.
