What are the main biggest problems that you experienced when it comes to marketing? from a business point of view, can be anything related to owning an online shoe shop to selling things online that you make. We all come up with problems and walls that block us from getting past them to move on.

Need good skills or had helped to market your site or items. I had one person who hasn't market his profits that well that he was selling but not earning enough as he wasn't looking at the right categories. Have you had any problems before? what was your biggest mistake?

Please share :)

One of my biggest problems from marketing has been time management. If you find that you're the one doing everything for your business, then finding time to devote to each area that needs to get done can be exhausting and one area will always suffer. Sometimes it's worth it to offer someone else a percentage of a sale of an item (if that's your business) to have them assist in marketing/advertising.

I realized a good tool for marketing or getting people to join your site is discord. A problem I had in the past is finding ways to contact people I've spoken to in the past because I never used facebook. Facebook is not one of my strong points and I don't like it very much.

That was the issue that discord seemed so solve and help me get members on my site. I've used it as a tool and though I haven't focused much time on my own server I plan to soon.

Marketing success might be gotten with money. However, if people are only wanting what you advertise for free, that could be a problem. You could be misled as I was and disappointed.

Usually it takes a lot to impress people these days.
A simple ad wouldn't do the trick and even discounts and all, can take us so far. We will have to update ourselves constantly and we should try to come up with new and different strategies. That's the biggest roadblock and we need to spend more time for this.

It's not always possible but we will have to do it somehow.

The biggest problem I have come about while marketing a product and services is getting rejected by client. Most of these clients normally look down on marketers especially In my environment as someone who doesn't have life who think the marketing job is for those who doesn't have life at all. So I just do it out of faith.

The biggest problem that i face in marketing is that people didn't even bother to see the ads or links that i will send to them. Some clients need the best quality thing in the cheapest rates as we can't provide them that was the main problem in marketing now a days.

Biggest problem in marketing is bargaining as the people order the items but of it got late to reach the parcel on time than the behaviour of customer became like the dyne , they behaves like nonsense and rudely so we some people have trouble to manage their behaviour and making them understand.

I am one man company. I have over a dozen fully functional websites. Apart from managing my websites, I also work with a lot of clients that involve marketing, SEO, website design, etc. My main problem is not having anyone to assist me. I cannot hire a full time assistant because I don't have a budget and I cannot work with virtual assistant because I simply cannot trust anyone I met online.

I have not resllt started an offline business. But if I start, the only problem I may likely face is using the right tactic to win people heart. I am just trying to know the rudiments of persuasions. And I have started reading books on that.

During my marketing time, I do have a problem of meeting sales target every month. This is very important to me that I always meet the sales target. So whenever I don't meet target, I get demoralized and frustrated for a while.

Problems keep coming up in marketing. Start any kind of business difficulties will come but paying them is the most important task. When you want to do a completely free market, it would be difficult for you. At the same time, if you are offline, increase the number of people you meet and if it is online, then expand the use of social media.

For me my biggest mistake while marketing online is not meeting up to my target, while selling stuff at the shop I do meet my target but when it has to do with online marketing the customer are not at times encouraging

Making sure about Enough Budget

How might you make a triumphant showcasing effort without a spending plan? Actually, it's really hard. However, in any event, when you have an incredible, income creating thought, you still generally need to get your spending plan affirmed by a higher-up.

When I had my business the internet was just starting and there was no social media yet. But if I would have my business now then for sure I will avail of the free platform like Facebook and Twiiter and even Instagram. It is not easy to gather an audience in social media but it is not hard either so you just need a little patience and a little perseverance to build up your audience in your timeline in Facebook. Better yet, I would probably availing of the Facebook Page which is free and easy to use.

One of the biggest problems when it comes to marketing is that you might find it difficult to concert people to buy. You might have put all your effort into marketing still not covert. This happened to the campaign I ran for a friend, will perfect set up, yet no sales was recorded.

the success of marketing could not be done without money, the biggest problem in marketing is everyone wants free advertisement with the short time period, and after the loss in marketing they disappointed,I think without money marketing could not be done.

My biggest problem in marketing is convincing people that my product is different from the bad ones they have encountered before. Experience shapes people and their thought process. So it is always hard to knock them off what they perceive to be their realities.

What products /services is the person offering or marketing?
Does it appeal to the audience or the taste of the individual who is buying the product/services. If not, he can always consider marketing another product or services that is in high demand or adapt another marketing strategy. U just have to think out of the box.

The vast majority of companies don’t have a marketing department because in many cases they were created by freelancers who have decided to create their own business and never studied marketing, nor do they know how to apply it correctly in their sales strategy.
This is why I want to analyze the 10 challenges or problems that many companies will face when working with marketing.

The biggest mistake I made is I convinced my relative invest on a certain business of my colleague and end up losing a big money on his wallet. I am taking the blame myself because I did not analyze that the business will only go to its downfall because they lack of proper preparation for it.

After working hard and paying extra hand to complete the job and provide the job specifications, clients returned it and said they were not going to pay a dime, imagine how it would make someone feel

The biggest problem I have faced about marketing my products is from actually being consistent with the marketting. I tend to give up easily on a campaign or not to put too much energy into it and that is what I plan to work on to improve.

Though I haven't really tried offline marketing but I think I've had some levels of experience online. One thing I've come to learn is that variety is truly life's spice.
Being able to have different angles that can speak to different people would greatly help in your marketing.
