Marketing a Craniosacral Therapy Business
Marketing a craniosacral therapy business can be a daunting task for new entrepreneurs. But with consumer demand on the rise, marketing skills are becoming increasingly important for craniosacral therapy business owners and managers.
Novice marketers are typically unprepared for the challenge of promoting brands and products in the competitive arena.
Purpose in marketing is the key to success in this space. High-performing craniosacral therapy businesses achieve market dominance through the careful execution of deliberate strategies. Although you'll need to consider your company's unique marketing objectives, there are several tips we advise our partners to integrate into their promotional plans and strategies.
Marketing Collateral
Every piece of collateral your craniosacral therapy business creates is a tangible reflection of your brand distinctive and core values. To squeeze the most impact from your collateral, it needs to be targeted toward its recipients. Delivered to the wrong person, a valuable piece of collateral will collect dust. For direct mail campaigns, premium mailing lists from established vendors can protect the value of your investment. The point is that if you go cheap on the backend, all of the money you invest in your craniosacral therapy business's investment in collateral will be pointless.
Loss Leaders
The majority of craniosacral therapy businesses understand that more customers will walk through the door if a few products are priced at less than full retail value. Although you may lose money on one product, you can make up for it buy selling a higher volume of other products. The key is to know your profit margins and use loss leader pricing to undercut the competition in targeted product categories. For the majority of craniosacral therapy businesses, the real benefits of loss leaders emerge through the careful marketing of other products, usually offered at a much higher margin. Also, it's important to carefully consider the quantity of discounted products you are willing to offer at the loss leader price since stockpiling or a high volume of loss leader sales can negate the revenue benefits of this strategy.
When It's Time to Rebrand
Looking for a way to re-catalyze your marketing program? If you need a quick fix, rebranding might not be the right tool for the job. Rebranding is an intentional marketing technique designed to deliver long term results. For a craniosacral therapy business, owners are often inspired to rebrand after analysis has demonstrated that the current brand is losing its impact in the marketplace. Unless you are confident that you possess the skills necessary to rebrand your business, we advise consulting with a professional marketing firm before you introduce a new brand to your customers.
