Marketing Advice By Business Type
Marketing a Sawmills Business
You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting a sawmills business. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.
We recognize that the best sawmills business entrepreneurs tend to possess solid marketing skills. Yet in this industry, the characteristics of able marketers aren't always obvious.
By leveraging today's best marketing techniques, any sawmills business can achieve greater marketing dominance through strategic marketing and robust value messaging
Directories
Directories are a common tool for finding a sawmills business. Yellow pages, industry listings, online databases, and other directory options are routinely used as vehicles for promoting sawmills businesses to both broad and targeted customer bases. Premium directories may or may not deliver the ROI you expect to receive from paid marketing vehicles. Do your research and make sure any directory in which you list your business is capable of reaching enough likely customers to make it worth the effort. 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.
Staffing Expertise
Assigning responsibility for the execution of a marketing strategy can be more difficult than creating it. For many business owners, in-house staffing is attractive because it can (theoretically) be performed by current employees and can give the owner more control over the process. To maintain marketing momentum, many sawmills businesses enlist the assistance of external marketing professionals. A high quality marketing firm can deliver a much better ROI than internal stakeholders who aren't primarily focused on marketing functions.
Marketing Collateral
Brochures, business cards, folders, direct mail pieces, and other types of promotional materials are called marketing collateral. For sawmills businesses, it's important to make sure every piece of marketing collateral generate reinforces your brand and value proposition. 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. If you're like most business owners, you invest substantial resources in the creation of quality collateral. If you don't invest similar resources in mailing lists and other distribution channels, your sawmills business's investment in collateral will be pointless.
