Marketing campaigns are designed to build interest in a product or service, which in turn creates desire. Businesses use marketing to pique the interest of customers by providing small amounts of information about their products. Successful marketing prompts consumers to take the next step by continuing engagement with the company by coming into the store, requesting more information or starting a
conversation. With marketing, a company can create curiosity about new features of an existing product or generate a buzz even before a product or service launches onto the market. Raise Awareness
Marketing raises awareness for businesses: if your customers do not know about your business, products or service offerings, they won't be able to purchase them. The same is true across the spectrum of businesses and organizations. Marketing can be used to promote new features of an established product, build awareness of less-utilized services, or make a company's name or mission known to a new audience base. Brand Recognition
Many marketing strategies benefit the business or organization by creating an increase in brand recognition, which is important to standing out from competitors. Marketing efforts should get your name, offerings, and brand promise in front of customers on a regular basis so that they form a basic understanding of your brand. When they are faced with a group of potential vendors, consumers are more likely to choose a company that they recognize and of whom they have a positive impression. Increased Profits
The end goal and most important benefit of most marketing campaigns is to increase profits for the company; in a nonprofit organization, the goal may be an increase in donations. An effective marketing program brings in new customers or increased business from existing customers, leading to an increase in sales and profits. To ensure a boost in sales, marketing campaigns must reach potential customers when they are most receptive to your message.
