The basics of Marketing for a Small Business

Marketing is all about understanding your customers - who 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.
