The Top Ten Marketing Tips You Don’t Want To Overlook
Marketing can be a tricky business. You have to know the right audience, maintain pricing, and make sure that you’re on target with your message. But we have ten marketing tips to help you maintain strong marketing and grow your customer base.
Here are the top ten marketing tips you don't want to overlook:
1) Know Your Target Audience - Know who is most likely going to buy from you before designing a logo, deciding on product prices, or putting together an advertisement campaign. If you want information on your target audience, such as their age, interests, and other demographics, check out the analytics reports on your website or app.
2) Offer Discounts - A great way to attract new customers is by offering discounts and promotions. To entice shoppers to spend more in a certain department or during a specific season, offer promotions for only a limited time.
3) Host Giveaways - Another good marketing strategy to help attract new shoppers is by hosting giveaways. Have customers sign up for your e-mails so you can let them know when you’re hosting a giveaway on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
4) Advertise in Magazines and Newspapers - Print is a way of the past when it comes to marketing, but it’s still an option for many businesses. If you want to get your name in front of people who may not know about your business, then consider advertising.
5) Include a Call-to-Action - When developing marketing materials, including advertisements, business cards, or product packaging, include a call-to-action so people know how they should interact with your brand. For example, if you offer food delivery service on a website or app, include a call on action that reads “Order Now” or “Download App.”
6) Deliver on Promises - You’ve made a claim and your customer is expecting you to fulfill it. As soon as you can, deliver what you’ve promised to your customers. If it takes some time to get the job done, let the customer know when they can expect the product or service, and communicate any problems that may arise.
7) Keep Up with Marketing Trends - Trends change over time, so keep on top of what’s popular in marketing. From social media trends to new uses for apps like Snapchat, technology changes daily and your business needs to keep up with these changes as well.
8. Measure Your Marketing Efforts - See how your marketing efforts are doing by measuring your audience and the impact it’s having on sales. Check your website analytics to see what technologies are being used, and make adjustments as needed.
9) Market to Previous Shoppers - If you’re a retailer, consider tracking customer purchases and offering them special promotions or deals. Send them e-mails or texts with new deals and discounts that they may be interested in, depending on their previous purchases.
10) Advertise Online - Over 70% of Internet users use search engines to look for local businesses, so take advantage of this opportunity by advertising online. Even if you don’t have a website, you can advertise on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter.
Marketing is a no-brainer for any business. You can’t be successful if you don’t market your brand and the products it offers, especially if you want to grow your client base and turn some of your customers into loyal fans. The tips above are just a few of many marketing strategies that will help grow your business.
