This time is particularly difficult with the economy down. Hence, many people and businesses look for ways to market at less or no cost at all. Every business owner knows they need to market to be visible to their target clients. But the question is always how much do they need to budget for marketing? And most of the time they dread the answer because they know it’s often more than what they can afford.
However, there are many ways that one can advertise with little or no money at all. In addition to creativity and imagination, here are effective strategies to market by spending a little, and sometimes even with no cash involved.
Create a website. A website is very popular nowadays because it lets you convey your message to the whole world, at no cost to you, except for your time and effort. You can reach out to the world, with no boundaries, to tell them about your business and what you can do. You don’t need to hire a website developer. Services are available online to help you build your own website with easy-to-follow instructions. You can just customize the ready-made website according to your type of business and needs.
Establish strategic relationships. You don’t need to always market to new leads. What you already have for your client base is a great way to start growing your business. This means that you get referrals from your current customers. If you have a good working relationship with your present customers, you won’t have a difficult time asking for referrals. They would gladly relay your great services to the others even without you asking for it.
On the other hand, you can also join organizations, clubs and associations especially in your locality. Organizations where the members share the same interests as yours can go a long way in getting you new leads for your business.
Have a unique brand. This would be evident in your style and logo which can be found in many of your marketing tools such as your poster printing. Every successful company has one. (Nike’s swoosh; McDonald’s golden arches; Microsoft’s four color window; etc.) You want people to easily identify you. And you can by being unique and different from the rest. Just remember to create a design and logo that reflects exactly what you do in the graphics, no matter that you put it in your print posters or your website. The key is to provide a simple yet recognizable image that would stick to your customers’ minds.
Write articles. It’s one way of establishing yourself as an expert in your filed. Submit articles and blogs online. Print posters and newsletters. The thing to remember is that you write articles to provide valuable information to your target clients. The more they rely on you for answers, the more they will remember who you are and what you can do.
These strategies are often free. You just need to take the time and effort to build them. So I hope you try these suggestions and see the difference in the way you market even at no cost to you.
