Tips to Improve Marketing

Marketing a Fiber Optic Cabling Business

You're heavily invested in the success of your fiber optic cabling business and failure isn't an option. That means you'll also need to invest yourself in the strategies and techniques it takes to effectively market your brand in the marketplace.

Marketing a fiber optic cabling business can be challenging, especially for business owners who lack a marketing background.

Marketing increases the brand footprint of a fiber optic cabling business and drives the customer acquisition process.

Viral Marketing

Viral marketing is one of the most elusive marketing techniques in a small business owner's arsenal. Viral marketing takes guts and if it is incorporated in the marketing strategy of a fiber optic cabling business, there are no guarantees your efforts will be rewarded. Even though total control is impossible, the right actions at the right times can encourage the viral distribution of brand messages. Product giveaways, community-building, online discussion channels, and other techniques may not guarantee that your products will go viral -- but they definitely improve the odds.

Email Campaigns

Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. What does that mean for your company? It means the odds are in favor of email campaigns actually connecting with customers. In many fiber optic cabling businesses, the hardest part of an email campaign is gathering the email addresses of likely customers. At Gaebler, we recommend buying mailing lists from professional, third-party providers. Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.

Customer Awareness

Many of the highest performing fiber optic cabling businesses go out of their way to maintain clear channels of communication with their customers. In this market sector, managers and promoters need to be extremely familiar with their customers' needs and purchasing preferences. More often than not, failure to maintain a robust connection with the marketplace translates into poor brand recognition and lackluster sales. On the other hand, businesses that are in touch with their customers' preferences and pressure points are better equipped to create marketing strategies that connect with buyers.
