Industry Specific Marketing Advice
Marketing a Grain Bins Business
A profitable grain bins business is about more than supply and demand. It's about designing ways to entice new customers to engage with your products and to encourage existing customers to increase the frequency of their purchases.
For a grain bins business, a great business model doesn't guarantee solid revenues.
With a little luck and lot of hard work, any grain bins business can achieve greater marketing dominance through strategic marketing and robust value messaging
Media Monitoring
Some marketing initiatives lend themselves to simple measurement while others are more challenging. Direct mail can be evaluated by tallying the cost of inputs (e.g. a premium mailing list, printing, postage, etc.) and measuring the number of customer responses you receive from the campaign. The difficulty comes when you are tasked with quantifying market presence and brand influence. With the help of marketing professionals, media monitoring can provide up-to-date assessments of the amount of influence your grain bins business has in the public sphere. If executed properly, media monitoring can help your brand get ahead of negative messaging and exert greater influence over news cycles.
Marketing Expertise
Don't have a background in marketing? That shouldn't stop you from taking a larger promotional role in your company by educating yourself about today's most effective marketing concepts. Entrepreneurs and leaders of grain bins businesses need to make every dollar count, especially when it comes to their marketing budgets. When in doubt, tap into either an internal or external knowledge base to design your company's marketing strategy.
Leveraging Print Ads
Print advertising has been a marketing staple for grain bins businesses. From glossy spreads to simple classified ads, business owners have traditionally used print advertising to reach a broad base of customers. Even though the Internet has challenged the position print ads once held in marketing circles, you can still realize substantial gains from marketing your grain bins business in printed media. These days, the key to effective print advertising is to align the publication with your business goals and ROI requirements.
