Marketing Tactics for Niche Markets

Marketing a Letterhead and Envelope Printing Business

You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting a letterhead and envelope printing business. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.

Need to improve the effectiveness of your marketing channels for your letterhead and envelope printing business? We're not surprised. Many small business owners in this industry aren't happy with their current marketing scheme and are desperate to identify a path for improvement.

Marketing increases the brand footprint of a letterhead and envelope printing business and drives the customer acquisition process.

ROI

Good marketing is expensive. Like any other business, ROI is a primary marketing concern in your letterhead and envelope printing business.

Professional mailing lists improve ROI even further. Vendors can filter your lists to likely buyers, reducing mailing costs and increasing the impact of your direct mail campaigns.

When It's Time to Rebrand

Looking for a way to re-catalyze your marketing program? If you need a quick fix, rebranding might not be the right tool for the job. Rebranding is an intentional marketing technique designed to deliver long term results. For a letterhead and envelope printing business, owners are often inspired to rebrand after analysis has demonstrated that the current brand is losing its impact in the marketplace. If rebranding is unavoidable, it's important to update the brand while maintaining the elements that make it recognizable to consumers.

Social Media Monitoring

The use of social media as a marketing tool is the latest wave to overtake the small business community. Combined with a functional company website, social media attracts new customers and converts them to brand advocates. Social media can quickly go negative, turning brand advocacy into "badvocacy", a scenario in which consumers and users create content deriding your company and your products. These days, letterhead and envelope printing businesses are especially vulnerable to negative exposure through social media. To counter negative social media, you'll need to monitor your brand's online presence and enter the conversation, redirecting negative discussions toward more positive topics.
