Marketing a Refrigerant Reclaiming and Recycling Services Business
Small and medium size refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services 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 refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services business? Unfortunately, there is a fine line between capturing buyers' attention and blending into the background.
Winning strategies combine common sense marketing with the constantly evolving demands of the marketplace.
Hiring A Marketing Firm
Eventually nearly all refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services business operations turn to marketing firms for guidance. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Does a marketing firm cost money? Sure, but not as much as you may think. When it's time to look for a marketing firm to represent your refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services 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.
Directories
There are many different kinds of directories in which to list a refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services business. Yellow pages, industry listings, online databases, and other directory options are routinely used as vehicles for promoting refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services businesses in a region or territory. Paid directory listings are gaining steam in some sectors. But paid listings don't necessarily translate into better results - many free directories have just as much firepower as premium ones. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Some directories may also let you list more than your name and contact information, so be sure to ask whether your listing can include a logo and other information about your business.
Public Relations Strategies
Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. For example, if you buy a premium mailing list and use it to conduct a direct mail campaign, that's marketing. On the other hand, if the Sunday paper runs a story about your refrigerant reclaiming and recycling services business, that's PR. The key to effective PR is to use nuanced messaging to attract the attention of reporters and media representatives. If reporters smell promotional content, they will back off from the story or create their own narrative.
