Niche Marketing Strategies
Marketing a Hat Cleaning and Blocking Business
At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own a hat cleaning and blocking business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.
As a business owner, it's imperative to understand that your financial metrics are inextricably linked to your marketing capacity.
In general, good business owners make good marketers. But to rise to the top of the industry, you'll need to gain a deeper understanding of the marketing tactics competitive hat cleaning and blocking businesses utilize in the marketplace.
Viral Marketing
Will Rogers said, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. However, you can put salt in his food." That's kind of how viral marketing works. When you're marketing a hat cleaning and blocking business, the hope is that your brand and product line will take on viral qualities. But despite the risk, viral marketers can influence the likelihood of success. Social media and other online vehicles can seed a viral marketing campaign, but you'll need to nurture their development through direct customer interaction as well as other techniques.
Staffing Expertise
Assigning responsibility for the execution of a marketing strategy can be more difficult than creating it. 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 hat cleaning and blocking businesses outsource marketing to a professional firm. In addition to delivering a better overall outcome, marketing firms bring an objective perspective to your strategy and key messaging.
Improving Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty provides the backbone for business growth. In growth-minded hat cleaning and blocking businesses, customer acquisition can be achieved by tapping into the resources of third-party mailing list providers. However, customer acquisition will only get you so far. To achieve revenue growth, you'll need to combine customer acquisition channels with strategies and mechanisms designed to transform new customers into followers and hopefully, brand advocates.
