Casual Articles - To Go Or Not To Go - How To Decide If This Marketing/Design Project Will Bring In Revenue
There are hundreds of thousands of business plans floating around and attempting to find a funding home. I receive hundreds of business plans annually myself, and can definitely state that 99% of these documents are laughable as presentations of an exciting investment opportunity. I am not referring to the value of the product being described, rather the presentation that purports to describe an exciting investment situation.One of the reasons that so many plans are so poorly written, and there are many, many additional reasons, is that the
Stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different resultsNo one should be billing themselves as stupid. After all you are operating in a very high-paced world, handling multiple demands on your time, and still producing good work. Yet if you are operating in this mode and are feeling stressed and unproductive because your ToDo list and daily stacks keep growing, then you may be exemplifying that definition.Are you using the same techniques that you used last year and four years ago t
For all of you number crunching, "Just bottom line it" business people out there, this bulletin will take a logical, methodical approach in helping you to decide whether to "Not go" or "go" on your next design project.
Step 1: Investments, Not Expenses
Smart business owners view design and marketing as opportunities to grow their business rather than drains that they just pour money down. Expenses, by nature are costs that you no longer expect to receive any benefit from. You should expect, not hope that your design and marketing project will yield a personal and a financial benefit to your company.
Quick Note: Now if you've had design and marketing projects created before and felt they weren't worth the cost, I'd offer that the poor investment wasn't in WHAT you did, rather WHO you invested in.

Let's assume you're working with a terrific designer, and you're interested in having a tri-fold brochure designed. Ask yourself, "What do I need to make back on this investment to break-even on my investment?"
Step 2: Let's look at this example:
You will have design and printing costs = $1000
You will receive 800 units of marketing collateral at your disposal
From that marketing collateral you would expect at least 25 people to take action and buy from me (that's just over 3%). As a business owner, you have to ask yourself, "How likely is it for me to achieve just a 3% response on my project?" "Am I likely to get just 3%?" If the answer is yes, let's move on. If the answer is no, don't do the project!
