How should marketing services enhance your experience?
In my opinion, any service or product that you want to sell someone should solve the burning problem of your prospect.
Its more important why someone buys from you only than the other service company or Similar product line.
As a product or manufacturing company, we have to understand why do you need Marketing for your business at first go?

- Are you selling any Conventional Products/Services?
- Are you selling any shopping products?
- Are you selling any specialty products?
- Are you selling any Motivational Products?
- Are you selling any Digital Products?
So every product either falls into one of the categories. We need to understand which category we fall and create value in the eyes of our customers so that they try to see us as a Trusted source of information and become your Paying customer.
In my personal experience unless you create the proper Demand for your products/Services you will not be successfully create the Sales Pipeline for your Services.
When you don’t have a demand for the product merely creating a few interests don’t solve your problems.
There is product Life cycle of each product/service. Wich you have to take care while going Marketing campaign.
