Business Marketing Advice

Marketing a Rape Prevention Business

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

For a rape prevention business, a great business model doesn't guarantee solid revenues.

Customer loyalty isn't what it used to be. Cash is king in today's marketplace, so your marketing plan needs to focus on value messages.

Hiring A Marketing Firm

Eventually nearly all rape prevention business owners consider outsourcing their promotional and advertising functions to a professional marketing firm. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Cost is a consideration, but if you're thinking about hiring a marketing firm for your rape prevention business, experience should trump other considerations. Marketing firms that lack industry experience are sometimes unfamiliar with competitive marketing channels and may not understand the value propositions that dominate industry messaging.

Social Media Monitoring

Brand advocacy is a buzzword in marketing circles. What does it mean? Using consumer-oriented platforms to encourage customers to create user-generated content about your products and company, typically through social media. 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, rape prevention 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.

ROI

Good marketing is expensive. Like any other business, ROI is a primary marketing concern in your rape prevention business.

Mailings and other direct marketing strategies are common, but to realize maximum ROI we recommend purchasing consumer or B2B mailing lists from a reputable provider. Using the web, you can easily find the leading mailing list providers with an extensive database of targeted and updated sales prospects.
