Have you also been misled by the term ‘Growth Marketing’? Do you also have an impression that every marketing is a growth marketing as it helps in business growth?
If you really think growth marketing is just applying any marketing principles for growth, then this article is for you. Because it will change your perception and make you think about why you haven’t used it before.
What is Growth Marketing
Growth Marketing is a strategy-based marketing approach that is consumer-centric with long terms goals in mind. It is based upon the data collected from different marketing channels and made used to design and implement the most efficient strategies to grow a business.
It is a process of experimenting across different marketing channels to identify the most efficient way to grow a business. It adds new layers to traditional digital marketing models by making use of techniques like – A/B testing, data-driven marketing campaigns, Automation, analysis of user experience, dynamic ads, etc.
If I were to now to write about traditional marketing, then it would be a waste of your time, as you already must be familiar with what traditional marketing is. So, this article strictly talks about Growth Marketing and its use in basically every industry niche.
A very simple example that explains what is Growth Marketing
Let’s say you are in an ecommerce business selling shoes. And you are not making enough money as your customers buy only the shoes that are low cost. And the order value is so low that you are finding it difficult to make it a profitable business.
As your acquisition cost is so high (because you ran few Facebook ads), you might be thinking that it is a loss-making business for you. But here you can make use of Growth Marketing.
In the above case, what you have to do is, cross-sell and up-sell more shoes to the same customer during the checkout process. Also try to upsell them some accessories like – socks, shoe polish, etc. That will increase the cart value and it will cover your margins.
Secondly, retarget the same customers by making the use of Email Marketing. Design engagement strategies in your newsletters, so that you can sell them more and more. And from the second or third sale to the same customer, you will definitely start making profits as you won’t have any acquisition costs to cover.
So now talk about the Benefits of Growth Marketing Strategies
