To build your notary business, you'll need a marketing plan. But more than that, your plan will require follow through, commitment and excellent execution. Your plan should be strategic, but never set in stone.
Instead, your notary marketing plan must be regularly evaluated to measure success and make modifications for better results. Be sure to include milestones for evaluation into your plan.
How else will you know what's working?
How often should the plan be reviewed?
All of your marketing activities should be reviewed regularly. Most activities can be measured and optimized on a quarterly basis.
But online marketing strategies like search engine optimization (SEO), and especially pay-per-click (PPC) management, should be reviewed weekly or bi-weekly. They should then be modified and optimized.
Build in measurement methods
This is important. When you build your notary marketing plan, understand how you'll measure the success of each marketing activity.
If you do public relations, be sure you know what success will look like. Will it be in articles published or increased traffic to your website?
For email marketing, success may be a certain number of inbound leads to your website.
If you exhibit at or attend a local tradeshow you can gauge success in the number of qualified leads generated.
Set realistic expectations.
Put data into action
Once you've done an honest assessment, you'll be able to improve for the next time. Or you'll know to abandon that activity. But it will be impossible to make any decisions until you have meaningful data.

Put data into action
Once you've executed the marketing program, measure your real results against your benchmarks. How do they compare? If you exceeded your expectations, determine why the program was so successful. Then keep up the great work for the next marketing effort.If the results fell short, understand why. If you didn't get a good response at a tradeshow, did you lack an appealing booth or meaningful giveaways? Did you have a difficult time convincing people how your signing agent services would benefit them? Maybe the audience was wrong.
