Marketing Strategies By Business
Marketing a Dehydrated and Freeze Dried Foods Business
Small and medium size dehydrated and freeze dried foods businesses can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.
Still looking for a way to effectively market your dehydrated and freeze dried foods business? Although there is no single way that's right to market in this industry, there are a lot of wrong ways.
In some businesses, marketing takes a back seat to sales and operations. That's a mistake because without marketing, your brand messages aren't being heard. The good news is that good marketing is achievable by any dehydrated and freeze dried foods business with a strong value proposition and a desire to achieve a visible market presence.
Coupons
Although they have traditionally been associated with a handful of industries, coupons are viable resources for dehydrated and freeze dried foods business promotions. Traditionally, coupons have been limited to print ad distributions. These days, coupon programs have expanded to include electronic coupons distributed through social media and redeemed via a mobile device. Many dehydrated and freeze dried foods business operations leverage couponing to entice first-time customers to make initial contact with the brand. If you aren't familiar with coupon marketing, navigating the creation of the fine print can be challenging. Consult a marketing professional for guidance.
Promotional Calendars
Sloppy marketing programs have no place in growing dehydrated and freeze dried foods businesses. A strategy chocked full of time-sensitive ad placements and other tactics can devolve into a tangled mess of overlapping deliverables unless it is coordinated in a promotional calendar. Good calendars include not only tactical deadlines, but also schedules for the inputs (e.g. staff assets, vendors, etc.) that are required to execute strategic objectives. When used in tandem with a quality mailing list provider, promotional calendars can ensure the continuous execution of direct mail campaigns.
Staffing Expertise
Right out of the gate, you are going to have to make an informed decision about who will be responsible for marketing your product offerings and your brand. For many business owners, in-house staffing is attractive because it can (theoretically) be performed by current employees and can give the owner more control over the process. To maintain marketing momentum, many dehydrated and freeze dried foods businesses enlist the assistance of external marketing professionals. In addition to delivering a better overall outcome, marketing firms bring an objective perspective to your strategy and key messaging.
