How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Parking Business
The task of promoting a parking business has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?
Need to improve the effectiveness of your marketing channels for your parking 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.
Still trying to figure out what differentiates parking businesses from the competition? Surprisingly, the ability to create clear brand messages often outweighs product quality and other considerations.
Industry Resources
Lone rangers don't survive long in a parking business. An awareness of industry resources can mitigate the isolation of ownership and result in a more stable (and more productive) leadership experience. The best resources are usually the ones that leverage industry-specific experience and the input of proven veterans.
Niche Marketing
A niche marketing approach is a good fit for small businesses, particularly parking businesses trying to establish a larger footprint in a targeted market segment. By pursuing a niche strategy, you can increase ROI by funneling resources toward the customers who are most likely to buy your products.
Furthermore, niche marketing means tailoring resource acquisitions to the needs of your market segment. For example, top providers can focus mailing lists to the specific requirements of your market niche.
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. All parking 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.
