The basics of Marketing for a Small Business

No surprises here, marketing is about understanding your customerswho they are, what they want and how you can meet their needs.

Above all, it’s about putting this into practise…winning new customers, keeping hold of your existing ones – and making a profit! Frankly so what if you are the best in the world at what you do, if you don't tell anyone about it, then, I'm afraid it's no customers = no business.

Promotional activity (getting out there and telling people what you can do for them) is absolutely vital for your survival. We all have a limited amount of money to spend on promoting a business, especially when starting or growing a small business, but the good news is it doesn’t have to be expensive.

However it’s the actions behind the promotional campaign which really make a difference.

  • You need to discover what makes you different and better than your competition – then shout about it.
  • All customers have choices - you need to give them a reason to choose you, not the COMPETITION.
  • You must communicate with your audience in the way that suits them best.
  • Find the mix that’s right for your business by understanding your audience, your message and your budget.
