The Transformational Marketing Blueprint is a comprehensive 12-step journey that provides a systematic framework for marketing - creating and sustaining memorable, remarkable experiences and relationships.
2. Our Marketing Principles:
.......to my many clients, who have taught me so much about marketing and service.
Dr Jürgen Strauss
V 2.01
Marketing is the Art and Science of creating and sustaining memorable, remarkable experiences
and relationships.
Marketing, at its heart, is starting a conversation with someone who could be an ideal, dream
customer
Let's make marketing human again!
Build long-term relationships (not one-night stands).
Successful marketing is value-based, long term, two-way relationships.
Marketing is basically communicating the right message, effectively, to the right audience, at the
right time, in the right place and providing valuable information that transforms that audience.
Deliver exceptional value first, then offer them an opportunity to engage with you.
No one gets left behind.
Our customers are prospects for our competitors! How we keep our customers loyal is purely
down to how we look after them.
The marketing or customer journey is not linear - keep the relationship vibrant and alive.
