Geolocational Marketing
Smartphones have added a new wrinkle to small business marketing. With little or no effort, users can transform their mobile device into a highly functional tool for location and navigation. If you are a diving instruction business owner, you can use that to your advantage. Talk to a professional marketing firm about how you can tap into geolocational resources as a way to draw mobile consumers to your products. Although cutting edge marketers are tailoring promotional messaging based on the viewer's current location, it may be enough to explore ways for consumers to be made aware of the presence of a diving instruction business in their immediate area.
Generating Buzz
All business owners want to generate buzz about their products, services, and brand. Whether you call it viral marketing or word-of-mouth advertising, a lot of ground can be gained by encouraging positive conversations about your company. For a diving instruction business, buzz is a critical consideration in the marketing mix. The process begins with developing communication vehicles and mechanisms that invite discussion. With minimal effort, you can instigate conversations through social media and other communication vehicles favored by today's consumers.
Building A Community Around Your Brand
Does your business have a social media presence? If not, you may be falling behind the rest of the marketplace. Whether they realize it or not diving instruction businesses are struggling to find ways to communicate directly with customers - and for businesses, that's the whole point of maintaining an active presence in social media. There are many ways to launch a social media strategy. In our experience, it's helpful to begin with a direct mail campaign. Using vendor-provided mailing lists, you can broaden your reach by informing new contacts as well as established customers about your presence on popular sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
