What is The "Marketing Merry-Go-Round"
and what it means for you ...
- You’re in a position where your bosses & colleagues expect perhaps more than it’s possible for you to deliver.
- Everyone looks at marketing and thinks it’s easy. It’s not. You know that. Good marketing requires spot-on planning, co-ordination, copywriting, design, IT, communication skills just for starters.
- There’s a lot of pressure on you to drive leads & sales into the business...the business relies on what you do, it’s valuable and yet more often than not, the work you do is under appreciated.
- Managers / owners / committees need numbers and time spent producing reports and statistics isn’t productive time you could be using in generating business and working out how grow membership, green fees and non-golf sales.
- Everyone wants a piece of your time “can you just do this, can you just do that”.
- You are constantly bombarded by the silver bullets that never seem to be so…”silver”. SEO, Email Marketing, Digital Marketing, Website, PR and biggest of all at the moment Social Media.
- You're constantly pulled from one task to the next. There’s nothing worse than your boss saying “what are we doing on the social media front” and then you have to re-direct your time and attention away from some of the other projects you’ve been working on to this new latest marketing super-bullet.
All of this is a bit like being on a never-ending Merry-Go-Round when someone else is controlling the speed. You’re dizzy, you want to get off and you know you’ll be happier once things slow down...but it never does and you don’t seem to be any closer today than you were last week, last month, last year.
Can you see why this can be
so overwhelming for most people?
But don’t worry. The marketing merry-go-round is a common condition and you’ll be
relieved to know there is a solution out there.
Ok, so let’s look into the options available to you...
Option 1
You could organise meetings with your managers/directors, your colleagues, get them together, share with them the big marketing picture, explain your situation and ask them how they can help you to help them.But that’s a lot to do. You’ve got to pitch it just right otherwise you could come across as needy or worse, incompetent. It’s high risk.
Option 2
Alternatively, you could go the other way and start taking control of your own work, setting your own priorities and telling colleagues what projects get done in what order. It’s a fine line between appearing robust and professional but you also run the risk of coming across as control freaky, unapproachable and difficult to work with.
There is, however, an easier, less risky alternative. Another option which can help to:
Lead your colleagues to a greater appreciation of your role
Show them how they can easily contribute to the marketing effort (saving you time and work)
Educate the team around you in what marketing really is, why it’s so important and why you should prioritise as you do
This option is called the
