Business Marketing Advice
Marketing a Recycling Center
Looking for innovative ways to market a recycling center? Although you there are no magic bullets that will enable you to dominate the industry, there are several things you can do to improve visibility and market presence.
Marketing is much more than classified ads, business cards, and brochures.
Customer loyalty isn't what it used to be. These days, customers expect value and nothing communicates value more than a solid marketing plan.
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 recycling centers, 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.
Sponsorships
Sponsorships are an effective marketing tactic for many types of operations, including recycling centers. Successful sponsorships create connections with customers; ineffective ones alienate customers and drain your marketing budget. A strategic sponsorship targets actual recycling center customers. To minimize costs and multiply outcomes, consider teaming up with a complementary business to co-sponsor targeted events.
Industry Resources
Lone rangers don't survive long in a recycling center. Although there is a tendency to believe that the challenges you face are unique to your business, your competitors face many of the same marketing hurdles and obstacles. To overcome those obstacles, you'll need to tap into industry resources. The best resources are usually the ones that leverage industry-specific experience and the input of proven veterans.
