Use Every Opportunity to Get Your Company Name Out There. And speaking of company names, you'll need to work on some
business names ideas.
Every single piece of communication from your business needs to have all your contact details on it including your USP (unique selling proposition)
What About a Website?
A website set-up for
internet based marketing
really is a must in any effective low cost marketing strategy. The internet is simply to big to ignore and if you do your research correctly, won’t actually cost very much. You can write your own articles to post on your site, join forums and discussion groups and get your own blog up & running.
Join a Networking Club.
Better still, draw yourself up a
network marketing strategy
and join two or three networking clubs.Networking clubs are great. Membership consists of like-minded people all seeking the same thing as you… effective, low cost marketing strategies. Most meet for breakfast and some are more effective than others. A particularly good one is BNI
(Business Networking International)
which I joined a year or so ago. BNI meets weekly whilst most others meet fortnightly or monthly. A weekly 7.00am meeting is a serious commitment but a beneficial one as it weeds out the not so serious. BNI allows only one representative from each type of business so there’s no competition. If you’re thinking about joining, make sure the chapter you’re considering has a minimum of 20 members otherwise the networking is not as successful.
Freebies... We All Love Them.
Another good move is to give away free products or services. As long as these freebies have a perceived value they’ll improve customer retention as well as attract new customers. Giveaways are a worthwhile ingredient in any marketing strategy. There make wonderful relationship building tools and if you work it right, will not cost you very much.
The Media.
Great to have on your side.Anyone who can ‘work the media’ really has the Midus touch.Television, radio and the press have a huge influence over the general population that cannot be disputed. A cleverly engineered press release can have a significant impact on any business or business promotion and is well worth considering in effective low cost marketing strategies.
