1. Leverage on your knowledge:-
Comment on blogs, post on message boards, answer questions on Reddit and other social networking platforms. Most of these platforms allow you to customize your signature. While it takes a lot of effort to find the topics that you can contribute to, interacting with your target market is a form of self-promotion without having to boast what you can do. Giving advice within the range of your expertise shows you are personable and more importantly, that you pay attention to your potential consumer, wherever they may be.
2. Attend events:-
Yes, we are talking about networking. The traditional swapping of business cards and giving out flyers is something that you should still value. These are called below-the-line marketing strategies. You get to speak with your potential customer, interact with them and even leave an impression. With events, you are up close and personal; they can see you and you can see them, allowing you to better promote your business. Never underestimate the power of face-to-face interaction. Before you know it, you can easily lead up to your next distribution line.
3. Ask for referrals:-
Former coworkers, colleagues, friends and even family can definitely give your business a boost.
They have a network of their own. It may be as simple as posting a link of your website to their Facebook profile, or having them talk about your business to a target market. Whatever it is that your immediate circle can do for you, do not be shy to ask for it. Most of the time, they are willing to help, but are just unsure to, perhaps not wanting to interfere with your tactic. Open up and let them know you need them.
4. Have a memorable customer service:-
Word of mouth marketing is still the number one form of marketing. No amount of paid advertisement can ever see the mileage of people raving about your business out of their own free will. Make sure each experience is memorable and impressionable. Be wary of your turnaround times and the manner in which you respond to your customers. Before you know it, you might be serving the most followed person on Instagram in your community. Customer service will make the difference between fully-booked restaurants and deserted ones.
