Marketing a Horoscopes Business
The key to success in marketing a horoscopes business is to combine time-tested marketing techniques with the most cutting edge strategies in today's marketplace.
Marketing a horoscopes business can quickly take a wrong turn if you don't have a roadmap.
The right market approach lets smaller horoscopes businesses stand toe-to-toe with the rest of the market. The key is to market smart through the consistent application of fundamental marketing concepts.
Contests
You've seen the contest concept in action, even if it wasn't used in a horoscopes business. Although a contest won't automatically translate into higher revenue, it can be a strategic component of a comprehensive marketing plan. Even good contests carry risks, namely the possibility that your business will be dogged by allegations of unfair prize awards. That's why horoscopes businesses invest time and resources to create contests they can count on to achieve desired outcomes.
Hiring A Marketing Firm
Think you can handle your own marketing? There is a reason why many horoscopes business leaders recognize their limitations and hire a marketing firm. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Once you decide to hire a professional marketing firm for your horoscopes business, experience should trump other considerations. Marketing firms that lack industry experience are sometimes unfamiliar with competitive marketing channels and may not understand the value propositions that dominate industry messaging.
Public Relations Strategies
Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. If you want to send unrestricted marketing messages to your audience, buy a mailing list and perform a direct mail campaign. But if your strategy calls for sophistication, media buy-in and thought leadership, hire a PR consultant. The art of storytelling is a core PR competency. Storylines need to be believable and objective while communicating your brand's strengths and value proposition.
