Develop Business
Overview
You market your company by spreading the word. The first principle of company marketing is that it must be done deliberately. Working with Rolvor International’s expert team will get you half way there. The second axiom of company advertising is that it, like all other aspects of your firm, must be budgeted. However, company marketing does not have to be costly.
Writing articles on topics related to your business expertise is an excellent business promotion technique.
Well-written articles may serve as advertisement as well as generate favorable word-of-mouth. If you’re a realtor, you may create an article on prepping your house to sell. If you’re a Web designer, you could create an article on evaluating Web site usability. The narrower your theme, the better. To accompany the article, write a brief biographical note or “blurb” about yourself and your company. Then distribute it!
Where?
Because the purpose is to promote your company, you’d want it to appear in a newspaper that your target audience will read. Realistically, we would concentrate our first efforts on the Internet. There are an infinite number of e-zines and websites with newsletters looking for material.
Newspapers, which have a lot shorter lead-time than magazines, are also good sites to post your company promotion piece.
Use every outgoing piece of paper, and every electronic document as business promotion.
You have business cards, but you also provide a slew of other paperwork as part of conducting business. Check these to ensure you’re taking full advantage of their promotional opportunities.
For example, company stationery is an excellent instrument for business marketing. Is your company’s name, logo, contact information (including a URL if you have one), and motto printed on your envelopes and letterhead? or do your envelopes simply have your company name and return address written on them? What a waste! Your phone and fax numbers, URL, and even a catchy motto should all be included. It’s more than simply an envelope; it’s a tool for company promotion! You’re already sending stuff out, so why not make it work for you?
The same is true for faxes, bill payments, and receipts; every document you send out should convey your whole corporate message. Don’t forget to include a comprehensive signature with all of your company’s details and a promotional phrase in your email.
Electronic documents, such as email, are also simple to update with the most recent business promotion information, whether it’s a special discount on a product or service or informing individuals that your firm has received an award. If you want instructions on utilizing signature files with certain mail applications.
Articles and press releases are other wonderful business marketing strategies that can be used to advertise your company on a budget. We will advise you on what sorts of articles and press releases to create and where to submit them in order to successfully advertise your company.
Sending out press releases is another great way to get some free business promotion.
The caveat to using press releases as a tool for business promotion is that your press release must contain newsworthy information and be interesting enough to pique people’s interest. Has your company recently grown? Have you released a new product? Have you participated in promotional activities, such as the sponsorship of a charity event? Have you or your organization recently received an award? All of the aforementioned are examples of “news” that you can use to promote your business.
While many business people routinely distribute press releases to newspapers, don’t overlook the Internet. Websites specializing in business-related content are interested in your achievements.
What else can you do to promote your business? What about using the Internet to promote your business or engaging in companion marketing?
Posting messages in forums (also known as bulletin boards) is a wonderful method to reach individuals you would not otherwise be able to reach. You cannot overtly promote your business on most forums, but you can demonstrate your expertise and personability while promoting your business through your signature file.
Choosing forums that are business-related or directly related to your business’s product is optimal for generating interest in your company and potentially enticing new customers.
Another consideration when selecting forums to post in is the level of activity; posting in a forum with little traffic or regular activity won’t do much to promote your business.
Promote your business on a talk show.
The local radio station or cable TV station may have programs that are looking for guests – a great way to promote your business! Business-related programs are ideal
Call in programs are popular:
If you’re a mechanic, you might offer to take call-in questions on car maintenance; if you operate a health store, you might market yourself as an expert in herbal remedies. Have your proposal clearly worked out before you contact the program host, and make sure the parameters of your appearance, such as details about plugs, are clear beforehand.
Promote your business by giving a seminar or presentation.
You have expertise that other people are interested in! (You couldn’t be in business if you didn’t.) Why not share that expertise and promote your business at the same time?
For example, a local carpet company advertises a free seminar on installation techniques for a type of laminate flooring. Participants not only learn how to install this type of flooring themselves, but are offered special discount prices if they wish to purchase laminate flooring. Another local retailer who sells goods made of stained glass offers courses on working with stained glass on-site.
Use buddy marketing to promote your business.
For example, if you send out brochures, you could include a leaflet and/or business card of another business, which had agreed to do the same for you. This gives you the chance to reach a whole new pool of potential customers.
we might also plan and carry out business promotions with complementary businesses. A pet store and a pet grooming business, for example, might use shared advertising, or run a contest together.
Give out freebies as business promotion.
We’re all familiar with hearing or reading advertisements that promise that the first 50 people to visit a particular store will receive a free (____). You fill in the blank. It could be anything from a red rose through an ice-cream cone! We’re all familiar with this kind of spot promotion because it works. People love to receive things that are free.
What small, inexpensive things could you give out with your product or service that will get your customer thinking good thoughts about you? Combining business promotion with customer rewards is definitely a win-win situation.
