If you have a small business, then effective marketing is your key to competing. You may not have the same budget as bigger companies, but that doesn’t mean your marketing has to fall short. Simple, cost-effective strategies are the key to success. From printing well-designed promo materials people want to keep to becoming a leader in your local community, marketing doesn’t have to break the bank. Try these techniques to make your business more visible.
Give Away Branded Materials
If you want potential customers to remember your name, give them something to take home with them. Flyers might get lost or thrown away, so think outside the box and choose something that people will actually want to hang on to. Design some standout posters and have them digitally printed for giveaways at events. Print cards offering discounts or other promotions. Every time you put your business’ name in someone’s hand, your business wins.
Get Involved
Look for ways to get involved in your local community to establish a presence for your small business. It can be surprisingly affordable to sponsor activities for a local non-profit or to become a sponsor for popular local events. Join local business groups and attend networking events, and be sure to seize opportunities to do presentations at business events. If no relevant events exist in your area, start your own.
Help Other Businesses
Not all other businesses are competition. Be willing to lend a helping hand, and you might be surprised how much business flows in your direction. Answer questions from fellow business owners, and do favors when you can. Your payback will be increased visibility and more referrals.
