Marketing a Moisture Control Business
Small and medium size moisture control businesses can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.
Still looking for a way to effectively market your moisture control business? Unfortunately, there is a fine line between capturing buyers' attention and blending into the background.
Time and time again, we see ingenuity, hard work, and industry knowledge as the deciding factors for moisture control business marketing success.
Generating Buzz
Never underestimate the value of good buzz with consumers. There are multiple ways owners can tout the benefits of their product offerings, but the most effective promotions are personal recommendations or word of mouth advertising. For a moisture control business, buzz is a critical consideration in the marketing mix. The process begins with developing communication vehicles and mechanisms that invite discussion. As you begin to promote brand discussions, you will need to also develop systems for monitoring the things that are being said about your company and using positive mentions to your advantage.
Email Campaigns
Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. What does that mean for your company? It means the odds are in favor of email campaigns actually connecting with customers. In many moisture control businesses, the real challenge is compiling a substantive quantity of qualified email addresses. Premium mailing list providers can mitigate the cost and hassle of in-house list generation. More importantly, providers typically give business owner an assurance that their lists are accurate and up-to-date.
Loss Leaders
Smart moisture control businesses understand that more customers will walk through the door if a few products are priced at less than full retail value. Although you may lose money on one product, you can make up for it buy selling a higher volume of other products. But to be effective, loss leader marketing requires planning, especially in product selection and price points. For the majority of moisture control businesses, the real benefits of loss leaders emerge through the careful marketing of other products, usually offered at a much higher margin. Whenever possible, piggyback a loss leader approach with the purchase of bulk merchandise that can be bought at a discount.
