Here are some steps you can take to impress your boss:

1. You Must Know Your Market to Implement Good Marketing Strategies

Your marketing efforts will yield the desired results only if you are familiar with your target audience's likes and dislikes. Using the Buyer Persona development technique to generate fictitious representations of your ideal customers will help you tailor more effective marketing strategies.

2. Do the Math to Ensure a Successful Marketing Strategy

Come up with projections that justify the marketing investment you want from your organization. Present a budget estimate highlighting different scenarios and forecasts.

3. Do Data Analysis and Think Strategically

Suggest a long-term integrated strategy based on your knowledge of the market and your target audience. Take a strategic approach to nurturing leads and present them to your boss.

4. Data Beats Opinions

Tracking will tell you which of your marketing efforts are bringing results. Numbers are more valuable than opinions, so you will want to focus on that. From there on, it is easy to focus on what works and eliminate what does not.

5. In-house v. Outsource Marketing Resources

Weigh the cost of having an employee vs. outsourcing your marketing requirements to a professional agency. Choose the option that yields better results so you can save your boss more money.
