Your pricing structure evaluated
Anyone could undertake a marketing audit, but misinterpreting the results
can be dangerous. Most competent professional marketers can do a reasonable job at this, and internal professionals will provide you with an edge.
Unfortunately, you are just as likely to find prejudice negating the results
of internal audits. At Marketing Audit, we not only offer our skills as experienced, qualified, professional marketers, but also our insight into business. As business mentors and with our track record of helping companies develop their marketing, we are well placed to provide you with an excellent service. And yes, you’ve guessed it, it is not a cheap option – you do need to be committed to the process as a whole.

and the indication is precisely that:
- Audit scope – Identifying your needs, the resources available and the size of the overall task. This is quoted separately, as this allows us to tailor the service to you needs and budgets.
Estimated average involvement – approximately 2 hours - Marketing audit – Undertaking the audit itself, and assuming all the information is to hand.
Estimated average involvement – approximately 16 hours - Audit evaluation – Taking the results of the audit and comparing them to relevant benchmarks and industry data.
Estimated average involvement – approximately 6-8 hours - Report – We compile a report for you outlining all the findings, issues and recommendations, written in plain English, with easy to follow steps, quantified where applicable and possible.
Estimated average involvement – approximately 7 hours - Presentation – We are often asked if we can leave this out of the overall package, but to ensure that you understand the report, and the issues and findings outlined in it, this is a vital part of the value of employing Marketing Audit to undertake the task. As such, the time for this is factored into the ‘Report’ element.
- Implementation – If you require us to assist you to implement the findings, we can offer these services via our sister company – Jack Marketing Solutions™.
