Staffing

Despite the temptation to cut back on hiring whilst the economy recovers, Limitless Communications believes it’s important in direct marketing to ensure there is always a strong core bank of workers to meet client needs. This means that a business plan must cover what will happen in both successful and tougher times, and ensure that a plan is in place to make sure that the clients don’t experience a drop in service due to cut backs when times are tough.

Delivery

The direct marketing industry is extremely fast paced, and changes are being made all the time. As trends change and consumer habits shift and adapt, it’s important for businesses to have strategies in place with their business plan that can help accommodate these changes.

Diversity

For a new business, it’s important to make the most of all marketing avenues to boost brand awareness and get potential customers excited. Limitless Communications believes that it’s vital for new businesses to have strategies in place for all marketing platforms, even if they don’t end up using them.

Regulations

As a business increases its marketing options, it must also increase its understanding and knowledge of regulations and procedures. With many customers choosing to opt out of marketing calls and emails it’s more important than ever for businesses to cover regulations in their business plans. Limitless Communications believe all businesses should include a job description for one of their employees that include regulatory updates to make sure their business models remain compliant with the changing rules.
