7 Affordable Marketing Strategies for Small Business Owners
By Eve
Jackson
“Build it and they will come” only works in the movies. If
you’re a small business owner, relying on people finding you
will most likely end in disaster. Actively pursuing clients
predicts success, but many entrepreneurs simply don’t know how
to do that.
Let me assure you though that marketing is easy… IF you
have a plan.
The best plans are written down in a notebook, or maybe they’re
on your computer. Even a scrap of paper will do. But studies
show when you write things down, you’re more likely to succeed.
Sometimes new business owners are wary of any talk about marketing
because they think marketing must be expensive. Yet can you
afford not to market your company? And usually they’re
thinking of advertising rather than marketing. Although many
think so, the two terms are not synonymous. Advertising is merely
one form of marketing.
Here’s a few.
- It all starts with image (and yes, image is part of marketing
as is pretty much everything you say and do). To show the
world a professional image, consider the impact of having
everything that represents your company match perfectly –
be it business cards, brochures, and your web site to name
a few.
- The single-most affordable marketing strategy is networking
and requests for referral. In fact, not only is it the most
affordable, it’s also the most effective. A client coming
to your through a referral is likely interested in your product
or services 60% of the time. You simply can’t beat that.
- Direct mail is an excellent strategy for reaching your target
market one-on-one. Direct mail works for both business-to-business
and consumer markets. And while writing for both markets has
certain aspects in common, there’s also important differences
when copywriting for the two.
- If your town has bulletin boards or storefronts that allow
it (most do if you look hard enough), post a notice free of
charge. The only cost bulletin board notices have is your
time.
- Join your local business groups and offer to speak during
their next meeting. Although public speaking is one of our
most common fears, speaking to a group quickly establishes
expert status.
- Find a business that offers complementary services to yours
and split the costs of your both your marketing. For example,
if you own a graphic design business, join forces with a printer.
- I can’t end this discussion without mentioning web sites.
There is no other way to reach as many people at the same
time (except maybe advertising, but advertising on the same
scale can be very expensive). The problem with web sites is
putting one up is just the beginning. Marketing your site
takes a lot of hard work, but it’s worth it.
Small business marketing doesn’t need to be difficult. Nor
does it need to be expensive. These 7 strategies are just the
tip of the iceberg. Really, you’re only limited by your
imagination, and of course your budget.
