A Note from the GMarkU CEO

Spring is in the air – I can feel it! A good government marketing habit is to do some Spring cleaning of your marketing initiatives. Take a look at what you’ve done so far in 2021 and identify which campaigns are working the best and which ones are not producing to your expectations. If they aren’t producing the ROI you expected, take a look at your original metrics and see if they are still in line with your campaign goals. If you’re working with a vendor, have a call with them to discuss. You’ll find all of our government vendors are very happy to work with you to ensure optimum success.

If you have campaigns that are producing really well, find ways you can extend or repeat a similar campaign. I’m a big believer in “Process Driven Marketing” and if you have found something that works for you and your sales team, congratulations! See how you can take the concept into other products/solutions/services or how you can incorporate a partner into the mix.

Are we are meeting your expectations on The Beat? We’d love to hear how we are doing (we practice what we preach!), so let us know how we can best deliver content and events that meet your needs. Email me at lbrossman@gmarkudev.wpengine.com.

Technology Modernization Fund TMF
