Marketing a Bead Stringing Business
The key to success in marketing a bead stringing business is to combine time-tested marketing techniques with the most cutting edge strategies in today's marketplace.
For every bead stringing business winner, there many more bead stringing businesses struggling to survive.
Winning strategies combine common sense marketing with the constantly evolving demands of the marketplace.
Managing Negative Publicity
Negative publicity is never easy to deal with, especially for bead stringing businesses. The worst way to handle negative buzz is to put off developing a response until reporters are pounding on your door, demanding a comment from a company spokesperson. At Gaebler, we advise our business partners to have an updated crisis response plan in place at all times. In a crisis, accurate contact lists can be a lifesaver. A top quality mailing list provider can provide fast turnaround times on up-to-date and filtered lists.
Industry Resources
Lone rangers don't survive long in a bead stringing business. Most leaders are oblivious to the fact that the marketplace shows no favoritism - for every marketing challenge your business faces, there are hundreds of other businesses and leaders struggling to solve the same problem. Even though trade journals have value, we've found that the best insights are often gained through face-to-face contact with industry insiders.
Directories
Directories are a common tool for finding a bead stringing business. When all of your competitors are listed in a directory, you have no choice in the matter. To keep pace, competitive businesses must include the same directories in their plans for marketing bead stringing businesses to both broad and targeted customer bases. Premium directories may or may not deliver the ROI you expect to receive from paid marketing vehicles. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Some directories may also let you list more than your name and contact information, so be sure to ask whether your listing can include a logo and other information about your business.
