  • Improved customer experience: Ensures a seamless and consistent experience for potential customers.

• 7.1.2. Steps of Integration:

  1. analysis❓ and evaluation: Identify and assess current strategies.
  2. Identify contact points: Determine overlaps between strategies.
  3. Develop an integrated system: Design a system linking all strategies.
  4. Implementation and monitoring: Apply the new system and monitor its performance.
  5. Continuous improvement: Make adjustments based on data and feedback.

• 7.1.3. Examples of Integration:

  • Content marketing❓ + Social Media Marketing: Use content to attract leads via social media and guide them.

Focus means identifying the most effective strategies❓ and allocating resources to them.

• 7.2.1. Importance of Focus:

  • Increased ROI: By focusing on effective strategies.
  • Improved resource allocation: Allows for better resource allocation.

• 7.2.2. Steps of Focus:

  1. Data analysis: Collect and analyze data on each strategy❓’s performance.
  2. Define KPIs: Define KPIs to measure the success of each strategy.
  3. Performance evaluation: Evaluate strategy performance based on KPIs.
  4. Prioritization: Identify high-priority strategies.
  5. Resource allocation: Allocate resources based on priorities.

• 7.2.3. Resource Allocation Model:

  A simple model based on ROI can be used:
  * ROI = (Revenue - Costs) / Costs

  Example:
  * Investing $10,000 in content marketing yielding $30,000 in revenue: ROI = (30,000 - 10,000) / 10,000 = 2 or 200%.
  * Investing $5,000 in paid advertising yielding $7,500 in revenue: ROI = (7,500 - 5,000) / 5,000 = 0.5 or 50%.

  Focus should be on content marketing in this case.

  2. Do: Implement the plan.
  3. Check: Monitor and evaluate results against goals.
  4. Act: Take corrective actions, implement improvements, and standardize processes.

  Mathematical Formula for Continuous Improvement Cycle:
  * I_n+1 = f(I_n, ΔI)
  * I_n+1: Improved performance in the next cycle (n+1).
  * I_n: Current performance in the current cycle (n).
  * ΔI: Changes and improvements made based on evaluation.
  * f: Function representing the improvement process.

• 7.3.3. Continuous Improvement Tools:

  • SWOT analysis.
