Niche Marketing Strategies
Marketing a Hotel and Motel Equipment and Supplies Business
Trying to market a hotel and motel equipment and supplies business? It's a crowded marketplace, but with dedication and persistence, great marketing can help your business outperform larger competitors.
Multiple marketing factors affect bottom line profitability. However, great marketing strategies share a common characteristic.
Staying on track requires attention to detail and a commitment to foundational marketing principles.
Do We Really Need A Logo?
Having a strong logo for a hotel and motel equipment and supplies business is a big deal. In tight markets, logos differentiate one company from the next. More importantly, a good logo can differentiate your value proposition from your competitors. Logos aren't something that can be changed overnight so it's important to put some thought into logo design. With a lot riding on a logo, it's worth the investment to hire a professional marketing and design firm for your logo needs.
Building A Community Around Your Brand
Does your business have a social media presence? If not, you may be falling behind the rest of the marketplace. Many hotel and motel equipment and supplies businesses can benefit from marketing strategies that leverage communities and networks. Direct mail campaigns featuring mailing lists from a reliable list partner can jumpstart a social media drive by expanding your customer base and alerting them to your social media presence.
Broadcast Advertising
No doubt about it, the Internet has had a dramatic impact on TV and radio advertising. Rather than tuning in for information, many buyers now prefer to get their news and entertainment through online sources. But broadcast advertising hasn't disappeared entirely and hotel and motel equipment and supplies businesses are leveraging broadcast media to perform specific aspects of their marketing strategies. Best practices for the use of broadcast advertising require businesses to evaluate their target audience's listening or viewing patterns and then tailor their media purchases to specific media outlets rather than blanketing the geography with brand messaging. When broadcast strategies are applied to hotel and motel equipment and supplies businesses, local consumers may represent a sizeable portion of total revenues, making local radio and other broadcast media viable marketing channels -- but only to the extent that you match the station's audience to your customer base.
