Have you ever had a really great idea that you put a ton of effort into just to have it flop? Was it lack of planning or did something else cause the demise?

At Plumb Marketing, we have found that often, it is not execution, but lack of planning that causes lackluster results. Here’s an example:

A company decided to launch a digital newsletter campaign. They pulled over their customer list, used a great template, threw in a strong call to action (call to book a service and receive a free item) and hit send. Then, three really big things happened:

  1. They received a TON of bounced emails. It filled their inbox. They had failed to build a solid list.
  2. They received more phone calls from the call to action than they could handle. In fact, they hurt their reputation by delaying the fulfillment of the free item they promised. It hurt the customer experience rather than helped it. They had failed to prepare a reasonable amount of product because of their lack of experience.
  3. They didn’t do another newsletter because they considered the first one a failure. Despite the great open rate and calls, because they didn’t have a system in place to create consistent, reliable results, nor did they have the support they needed, they gave up.

The solution? A multichannel marketing plan backed by a tried-and-true system and company.
