Dolly Says Investing in Marketing is Worth it

     A good marketing plan is invaluable because it is an investment in a company’s future. Although some may say that it is too expensive to invest in a good marketing strategy in the end it is worth it for the company.
     Marketing is similar to running a marathon, one has to put the work in ahead of time in order to be successful in the race. It takes time for marketing strategies to have an impact on the company as a whole. Marketing takes time to build up an awareness to the consumer and is similar to the prep work for a race.
   Having people who are experts at marketing is worth the cost because marketing, although it may seem like common sense, is much more complex. The ideas and strategies that create a powerful marketing strategy must be implemented carefully and precisely to avoid mistakes. The cost of having to pay for marketing is well worth it because although it may be expensive, the money that is spent is going back into the business in order to make it a more prosperous venture in the future.
     The time that is spent working on creating relevant content, advertisements, blog posts, tracking social media use, and all the other things must be completed well and in a timely manner is vast. Effort and thoughtfulness must be used in every step of the marketing process in order to ensure that it will be successful.
     Ryan Holmes, the founder and CEO of Hootsuite, states, “If you form a strategy without research, your brand will barely float and at the speed industries move today brands sink fast.” His quote clearly explains why it is necessary to have people who can take the appropriate time necessary to do a sufficient job researching and creating a marketing strategy for a business.
     Investing in a company’s marketing strategy is one of the best things to boost up the business as a whole. When questioning whether or not to spend the money on professional marketing help, the answer should be yes. No one wants to become “that failed, forgotten business” because they did not invest and see the value in marketing. Dolly says that marketing is valuable and necessary, and businesses will either learn that the easy way or the hard way.
