When you are running a company on a tight budget, you still need to promote your business if you want it to grow. Traditional methods of marketing can be very expensive, but there are ways to ensure that your brand is seen with resorting to these expensive ways.
Put Time Aside
You need to put some time aside every day. In most cases, an hour is more than enough to get your name out there on some of the social media sites and by commenting politely on other people’s blogs and forums. If the information you provide is interesting, people will go to your site to find out more.
Have Your Brand On Everything
When you send out emails, letters or anything else, make sure the document always has your logo, company name, and contact details. This is a great free way to get your brand seen, and one that people you communicate with will get to instantly recognize.
Use Your Vehicle For Advertising
Once you have paid the initial outlay, your vehicle can be a permanent source of offline marketing for your business. There is no wonder that wraps for car, vans and trucks are becoming so popular as a way of getting your brand onto your vehicle. It is cheaper than a re-spray to do the job and is removable when you have finished with it, perhaps when you upgrade to a newer car.
Every time you take your vehicle on the road, there is the potential for it to be seen by thousands of people, especially if your business entails being on the road often.
Join And Converse On Forums
Forums that are relevant to your line of business can be a great way to connect with other like-minded people. Make sure you join in the conversations so that your name becomes known and soon you will have a whole new audience for your brand.
Run A Competition
Thousands of social media users will become new people to view your site if you run a competition through one of the platforms and make linking to your site part of the terms of entry. Most people like something for nothing and will happily like your website to give them the chance of winning whatever prize is up for grabs.
It could be one of your products or something that is nothing to do with your line of business. As long as the prize is appealing, this is a brilliant way to get more people viewing your brand.
Listen To Your Customers
Always listen to what your customers have to say. It could be they are pointing out a problem you are not aware off, or just asking if they can have a better deal for buying in bulk. The whole point is you never know how useful their comments could be, so make a point of listening to them every day.
Let People Know You Are There
You cannot set up a website for your business and just sit back and expect it to succeed. You have to let people know you are there or you are doomed to failure. Whether you use social media, emails marketing, referrals or a combination of them all, you have to attract people to your site or they will never become buyers.
