Niche Marketing Strategies

Marketing a Hemp Products Business

It's becoming more and more difficult for hemp products businesses to rise above the clamor of the marketplace. Innovative marketing strategies may be your best bet for out-promoting -- and outperforming -- the competition.

The marketing model for a hemp products business has historically adapted to changes in consumer buying patterns and the market itself.

Some marketing concepts are just common sense. Unfortunately, it's takes more than a basic business mindset to achieve total market visibility. You will also have to become a student of specific marketing strategies for a hemp products business.

Marketing Collateral

Every piece of collateral your hemp products business creates is a tangible reflection of your brand distinctive and core values. You'll also want to make sure you're making the most effective use of your marketing collateral by getting it into the hands of the right people. For direct mail campaigns, premium mailing lists from established vendors can protect the value of your investment. If you're like most business owners, you invest substantial resources in the creation of quality collateral. If you don't invest similar resources in mailing lists and other distribution channels, your hemp products business's marketing collateral will be wasted.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Logo development in a hemp products business is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.

Bundling

Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Bundling is a tried and true method for marketing value concepts. Instead of presenting buyers with a single product offering, you can combine multiple product offerings into a package deal. Nearly any type of business can tap into the benefits of bundling products or services, so it's easy to see how hemp products businesses can use bundling to communicate value to their base. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
