In this day and age, it’s difficult for your small business to stand out. Sometimes, you feel like just another voice in the choir.
But don’t give up too easy. There are specific marketing tactics that you could use to pump up your business (without feeling like you’ve spent hours beating your head against the wall).
1) Use promotional products to your advantage.
Haven’t heard from a client in a while? Consider sending out printed mugs with logo of your company branded on the side.
Wanting more attention to your site? Try holding a contest for a few unique promotional items that showcase your company name and website, at least. It’s a way for people to get enthusiastic about your company as well as get something out of it as well.
2) Customer reward programs.
Sometimes the biggest factor in a customer or client returning to your business is the rewards that they get out of coming back. To start, this means that you are rewarding returning customers through either point cards (remember that stamp card of that small local coffee shop you frequent?), referral programs, or other discounts that you send their way.
It gives the customer a good feeling and leaves them wanting to return for more from your company.
3) A social networking presence.
Whether or not you “get” the major social networking platforms, it’s important to get started. Don’t be afraid to try new things and experiment, so to speak, with your approach on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest or whichever else you decide to try first. This is how you gain the most success with these sites – you can get better and improve your social networking skills.
There are unique approaches you can take with the marketing of your small business – and these tips just scratch the surface. Try new things and see what gets the best response. Truly, that is all that matters.
