Marketing Strategy
Scrape Inc »Marketing Strategy
One of the greatest challenges for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is building brand awareness and effectively articulating their value proposition to potential customers, partners, and investors. This is why you must have a game plan!
Your marketing strategy draws on all the information you have gathered about yourself, your business, and your stakeholders. So nothing is just random. We’ll design a marketing strategy that helps you reach the audience you desire, share some knowledge with them, and attract them to take action towards connecting with you or buying from you.

TIP: Your marketing plan should start by defining your value proposition, ideal customer, and measurable goals!
A marketing strategy is often mistaken for a marketing plan. The marketing plan details the operational elements to achieve marketing targets (types of marketing, resources required, budget, timing .etc.), while the marketing strategy focuses more on the big picture and longer plans for communicating value, building brand awareness, and increasing brand credibility and attracting customers.
The main benefit of having a marketing strategy is that it helps you consistently communicate your competitive advantage to customers using the marketing plan. The marketing strategy provides the benchmark, which we will use to measure the success of marketing campaigns to the brand’s value proposition.
At Scrape Inc., we believe all companies are inherently different; therefore, your marketing strategy and marketing plan will never be one size fits. Remember, strengths are different, and we want to help you highlight yours!
We’ll Deliver a Marketing Strategy That Helps You:
- Evaluate your core value proposition
- Identify the best audience for your marketing plan/ campaigns
- Contribute to company budgeting
- Decide where to spend your money for maximum ROI
- Measure what is working vs not and quickly pivot
