Industry Specific Marketing Advice
Marketing a Glass Doors Business
Marketing a glass doors business isn't as simple as it seems. To get noticed, you'll need to invest time, energy, and resources in an innovative marketing plan.
For a glass doors business, exceptional product quality is only part of the struggle to meet revenue goals.
It's not hard to convince most business owners that marketing plays a vital role in strategic planning. With marketing pressure at an all-time high, your business needs to incorporate tactics designed to position a glass doors business in the winners' column.
Product Knowledge
There is no substitute for being able to speak convincingly about your products in a glass doors business. Whether you outsource marketing or handle it in-house, the more familiar marketing personnel are with your products' distinctive characteristics, the easier it will be to devise marketing strategies that differentiate your glass doors business in the competitive arena. Product knowledge is so important that we advise SMBs to consult a marketing professional to identify and exploit their brands' product-based value propositions.
Broadcast Advertising
Broadcast advertising has clearly taken some hits over the past couple of decades. The number of consumers who tune-in to local TV and radio has plummeted, and the industry has struggled to regain its footing. However, it would be a mistake to discount broadcast advertising entirely. Many glass doors businesses continue to find ways to attract audiences to their brand through broadcast media. It's critical to understand the limits and opportunities available in today's broadcast advertising industry. One area in which marketers continue to have success is during drive times when large numbers of listeners still tune-in to local radio. When marketing glass doors businesses, the target audience is almost always local or regional. For broader reach, you'll likely need to look beyond broadcast venues and explore other online and offline marketing vehicles.
Multichannel Marketing Strategies
Are you up to speed on the multichannel marketing concept?. Today's consumers engage with brands in diverse ways. That means brands need to demonstrate similar diversity in the channels they employ to connect with customers.
In today's marketplace, it simply isn't possible for glass doors businesses that funnel the bulk of their resources toward a single marketing channel to maintain a noticeable presence in the marketplace. So when you create your marketing strategy, you'll need to consider including print ads, flyers, and even online marketing tactics in the mix. The acquisition of reliable mailing lists from proven providers can expedite the transition, but ultimately your efforts to go multichannel may require the assistance of a marketing professional.
