Developing integrated marketing plans for advisors isn’t always easy.

It’s a challenge to find the right mix of media, budget, and coordination to pull off a successful integrated marketing plan.

Sure, some advisors can get away with only doing direct mailย or seminar marketing. Maybe a few can simply advertise and appear on radio. Some may even rely solely on brochures and word-of-mouth.

But in today’s financial landscape, the advisors who thrive are the ones that incorporate it all. Advisor marketing success comes from a diversified approach, a mix of all those marketing components that together are greater than any one part. In other words, integrated marketing.

When you begin planning for your integrated marketing strategy, there are many different options and approaches you can take. To narrow your focus, we’ve clarified the five key steps to your next integrated marketing plan.

Follow these and you may just realize your most effective marketing plan to date.
