How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Public Health and Safety Business
Marketing a public health and safety business can be a daunting task for new entrepreneurs. But with consumer demand on the rise, marketing skills are becoming increasingly important for public health and safety business owners and managers.
Marketing is much more than classified ads, business cards, and brochures.
The marketplace is constantly shifting to accommodate consumer demand and that means businesses need to adapt their marketing requirements accordingly. The consistent application of solid marketing principles is one of the few business requirements that has stayed the same.
Company Website
Without the right technological tools, your business is on the fast track to failure. The technological entry point for your public health and safety business is also the anchor point for your technological strategy: A company website. A shoddy, thrown-together website is a net loss for your organization. To compete online, your website has to contain features and design elements that encourage visitors to drill deeper and incorporate the site into their online routines. Conversion paths are also important. With the proper design, your site can walk new visitors through a series of decisions that culminate with either an online sale, a phone order, a personal visit or a request for more information.
Marketing Collateral
There is nothing insignificant about marketing collateral. Even small pieces of marketing content, from business cards to product sheets, say something about your public health and safety business. To squeeze the most impact from your collateral, it needs to be targeted toward its recipients. Delivered to the wrong person, a valuable piece of collateral will collect dust. For direct mail campaigns, premium mailing lists from established vendors can protect the value of your investment. It doesn't make sense to invest time and creativity in marketing collateral only to drop the ball on distribution. Without proper attention to distribution details, your public health and safety business's investment in collateral will be pointless.
When It's Time to Rebrand
Rebranding can be the cornerstone of a successful marketing strategy. But unfortunately, many business owners choose to rebrand simply because they aren't sure what else to do. The most successful rebranding initiatives are the culmination of a deliberate process. In a public health and safety business, brands are tied to specific stages in the life of a business. If your company is expanding, you will inevitably outgrow your brand and it will be time to prepare for a comprehensive rebranding effort. With the help of a professional marketing firm, you can give your brand a fresh face while maintaining brand distinctives and brand recognition.
