Marketing Tricks Every Business Owner Needs to Know

Trade shows

Trade shows have been around a very long time, but they are tried and tested. Make sure that the trade show to be attended is a match for the product or service that is being marketed. For example, if you are a food business, then you should attend trade shows within this industry.

Text or SMS messaging

Text messaging can play a big part in any campaign, political campaign SMS messages have played a major role in presidential elections recently. They have proved their worth as although a person may scroll past an ad on their social media page or class an email as spam, they will always read a text message to their phone.

Advertisements

Using advertising media such as TV, magazine, or newspaper seems like an obvious step in the promotion process, but these days it can go a lot further. Consider advertising on social media and via email.

Industry associations

Most industries have organizations that help to promote that industry. These associations can be a base to facilitate more contacts to promote the product. Do not forget ancillary organizations such as the organization that may well be buying the product.

Internet presence

Having an easily accessible website that looks good is an essential tool in the box of tricks. Professional web designers have their fingers on the pulse as to the color schemes and layouts that work and use their knowledge accordingly. Just having a website is not enough; it needs to be seen. Being on page 500 in a Google search will not do anything for your marketing campaign. Use an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) company, they know what rules are in place and the best way to get the site to the top spot.

Email

The biggest mistake made in any marketing campaign is to overdo email sending. There are rules in place by the email providers and the government. These are there to stop or reduce spam, and everybody is happy they are. Sending multiple emails will close down your prospective buyer. Email campaigns should be used with a light touch.

Social media

Social media is a relative newcomer to the marketing arsenal and can have a knock-on effect on the person targeted passing it on, resulting in more people reached with minimal effort. Have a team to handle social media, as this may well form a major part of the strategy to be used. Be sure to be up to date on any rules, regulations, and limits on any social media sites. Falling foul of these could end in disaster. The use of advertising on sites like Twitter or Facebook can be expensive if you let it get out of hand, so keep an eye on the budget.
