Marketing a Candles Wholesale and Manufacturers Business

Small and medium size wholesale or manufacturer of candles businesses can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.

If you are a business leader who sees marketing as a path to give your wholesale or manufacturer of candles business an edge over the competition you're not alone.

Staying on track requires attention to detail and a commitment to foundational marketing principles.

Directories

Directories are a common tool for finding a wholesale or manufacturer of candles 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 wholesale or manufacturer of candles businesses in a region or territory. 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.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for a wholesale or manufacturer of candles business is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Creating a unique logo is more difficult than it sounds. In addition to quality design, you need to be concerned about infringing on the proprietary rights of other logos in your industry and throughout the marketplace.

Media Monitoring

Many marketing techniques are easy to evaluate. For example, if you buy a mailing list and conduct a direct mail campaign, you should have little difficulty measuring the campaign's effectiveness and ROI. But how do you go about measuring your brand's marketing footprint in geographic and demographic sectors? With the help of marketing professionals, media monitoring can provide up-to-date assessments of the amount of influence your wholesale or manufacturer of candles business has in the public sphere. If executed properly, media monitoring can help your brand get ahead of negative messaging and exert greater influence over news cycles.
