As you’re building a business, you want to make sure that you’re getting the kind of traction that you want. That you’re able to raise awareness of who you are, what you’re doing, and what you’re trying to achieve. But what do you need to make that happen? Are there certain things that you need to focus on? How do you raise your business profile? You know that getting in front of your audience is key. So it’s important for you to start thinking about getting as much publicity as you can, as early as you can.
Create A Website
First of all, you’re going to want to think about getting a website together if you do not have one already. And this is the most important part. Because your website is going to help you to make sales, to provide information about yourself, and to engage with your customers.
Have A Blog
You may also want to think about having a blog which can be a useful space to spread information. Use your blog to promote your products and develop a relationship with your audience. It can be a great way to get traffic to the site and to have content to share across all other areas of your marketing as well.
Build A Social Presence
The next thing you need to work on is your social media presence. Try not to spread yourself too thin, and instead focus on one channel. It’s important to choose a platform that will be relevant to your business, but also that your audience will be present on. Then, you can slowly build up a strong presence, master that platform, and move on to the next.
Optimize Your Site
Then, the next thing you are going to want to do is to make sure that your website and your blog are both well optimized. Because this will help you to get more traffic and interest. If you think that your site has been affected by changes, then you might want to read more on how to overcome that. If you’re working on the latest SEO principles and working with the right keywords, your site should optimize and rank well.
Hire A PR
You may also want to get a PR firm in place too. Traditional PR is still effective, particularly within set industries. This will give you an opportunity to reach a wider audience. It’s also an effective way to stay front of mind with your customers, as you’re working on all other areas of your publicity.
Publicize Yourself
Build a personal brand around yourself as a leader in your industry. This will showcase your expertise and the kind of work that you’re doing. You could speak at events, write articles, even write a book. The idea here is that you’re drawing attention back into the business with your own personal brand.
Collaborate With Influencers
Tap into an already engaged audience that is similar to your own by collaborating with influencers. You might want to start off small and find a few influencers to work with. See how you get on with the publicity for your business, and then look to come up with regular campaigns.
Work With Affiliates
You might want to consider setting up your own affiliate program. While this is often to make sales, you would also benefit from the exposure. Since the main reason you need publicity is to generate sales, it’s a win-win marketing technique. Furthermore, you often have fixed costs and you’re only paying out when sales are made.
Host Events
You may even want to come up with an event idea or to host them regularly. Because events are a great way to engage your customers on a personal level and actually connect with them. They also drum up buzz online. Plus, you’re going to be able to get content from the event that you can use afterward to keep your publicity alive.
Stay Consistent
To ensure you stay relevant in business, it is important to stay consistent. Publishing one blog post and getting one piece of PR in a magazine with an influencer is not enough. You need to plan out your marketing calendar and have a clearly defined strategy.
