The success of a business relies largely (if not entirely) on the positive response and involvement of the intended clients. Marketing is the bridge between a company and its target audience, tailoring messages and their mediums to reach specific demographics, and appeal to them effectively. Without a strong “bridge” there is no way for a company to connect with the very people they need, to achieve their vision for their product.
Marketing Builds Your Reputation
A good measure of the success of your company will be its rate of growth. Likewise, this “rate of growth” will also reflect your business’s reputation. This process is cyclical: as your product or service sells, your company succeeds, which increases the prominence of the business in the market, which marketers can use to show more people that your product is a popular choice, which will increase the amount that your product or service sells. And so on, and so on. Marketing your success creates an impressive image for your company that people will be able to easily recognize.

Poor Marketing Leads to Failure
What does “poor marketing” look like? When a message is overly complex or confusing, it does not connect or resonate with an audience. Even worse is when the message doesn’t relate to the target audience and their actual needs, at all. Any language that doesn’t match their understanding or circumstance will also fall far short of persuasion. Common, run-of-the-mill ideas that audiences have seen a hundred times will be easily forgettable, and unprofessional delivery of messages will leave the viewer uninterested and unimpressed. Around 45 percent of businesses will fail after five years because they will have done one of these things. Marketing is the “first impression” and “lasting impression” of your company—make it an appealing one!

Marketing Conveys your Mission
The mission statement of a business is constantly preached within the walls of the company. Without proper marketing, however, this message is hidden from the rest of the world. By utilizing the proper marketing channels, your customers can better understand your business and connect with your brand on a deeper level, finding excitement and gratification in your business almost as much as you do. This is essential to ensure client longevity. If a person doesn’t understand what you do and why you do it, they have no motivation to do business with you.
