THE TOP 5 REASONS YOU SHOULD FINE-TUNE YOUR

COMMUNICATIONS PLAN

Reason #1 –

Direction, direction, direction. A lot of

time is lost when you are chasing the

wrong audience, the message is lost on

the audience you’re targeting, or you

are using the wrong methods to get

your message out there. Creating or

fine-tuning your communications plan

will help you strategically determine

the direction you should be headed,

saving you time, stress, and money.

Reason #2 –

Attract the clients you want. Without

the appropriate communications, mes-

sages, and channels you could very

well be setting yourself up for head-

aches and heartache. By attracting or

positioning yourself to the wrong clien-

tele you are not advancing or promot-

ing yourself in the domain of expertise

in which you are successful and could

even be setting yourself up for trouble

if it turns out they think you are deliv-

ering the wrong service or product. By

focusing on the who, when, where and

how you’ll draw the people you want

to you.

Reason #3—

Save money. When you’ve discovered

who you should be targeting and how

best to make sure those clients receive

the messages and information you

need them to, you won’t waste the

money and resources exploring or us-

ing unprofitable venues. It’s as simple

as that.

Reason #4—

Two-way communication leads to bet-

ter relationships. With corporate

and/or social responsibility as buzz-

words these days, your audiences and

publics show their appreciation of the

information and transparency you

provide by buying your prod-

uct/investing in your com-

pany/employing your ser-

As you receive client input and feed-

back you’ll be better equipped to

continually fine-tune your commu-

nications methods, to better serve

your clientele, who will

buy/invest/employ your ser-

vices/donate...And the cycle contin-

ues.

Reason #5 –

Establish yourself as an industry

leader. By attracting the right clien-

tele, building and improving those

relationships, and saving money

which you can wisely spend else-

where, you will quickly position

yourself as a trusted source for a

product, service or philanthropy.
