There is a certain mission or vision behind setting up a multi-national firm or just a one person firm. Vision is nothing but the objective or a dream behind the firm’s setup. To make the vision accomplish, you need to decide upon certain strategies. Strategies are the plans which help to achieve the vision. Moreover, tactics are step by step actions for following the plans as to when and how to achieve the strategies. So, to bring the firm into reality, begin with the vision, plan out strategies and follow certain tactics to carry out that plan.

Bright business strategies assist in sustaining the profits of the firm while bad ones will lead to even shutting down of it. Gone are the days when a specific product of only one brand ruled the market and there was no much competition. People believed in that particular brand and bought it whole heartedly to fulfill their needs. But now the scenario has changed completely.

The various bright ideas that have worked are internet strategies like newsletters, creating websites, e-mail advertising, sending portfolios and brochures through e-mail, web hosting, posting ads on various websites, article marketing, Google Adsense, social networking etc. Companies are promoting their product using various advertising and publicity methods like print media, mass media, SMS advertising, hoardings and boardings, branding, distributing free samples etc.

Firms are now relying more on information technology to come up with different kinds of ideas to develop the tactics and strategies.

  1. The best way to promote your products or services is to think like your potential customers. When you put yourself on their shoes you can imagine what they usually look before buying any product or services like price, reliability and so on. You can do some online research through contest and get reliable data which going to benefit in near future.

  2. The overall vision and the strategies to achieve that vision are, of course, a must for any type of firm. However, I strongly believe that in order to make it, you have to have a lot flexibility in your strategies. I mean, you have to be able to move quickly from one strategy to the next, if the existing strategy is not, for any reason, working. This is definitely easier for a small firm.

  3. I agree completely with previous commentators, we should always put ourselves on the place of our potential clients or customers and only in this case we’ll achieve the best results. We should take into consideration all their interests, wishes and preferences.

  4. Very interesting post. The difference between strategies and tasks can be difficult for some business people, but as long as the vision exists there is still hope the business can be a success.
