Marketing Advice By Business Type
Marketing a Screws Business
You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting a screws business. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.
It's a misconception that small businesses can't compete with larger companies when it comes to marketing.
Customer loyalty isn't what it used to be. With cost concerns becoming more important to buyers, value messaging is rising to the fore as a strategic marketing priority.
Competitive Awareness
Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. There's nothing wrong with creativity, but if it precludes your messaging from being represented alongside other screws businesses, you may not have all of the information you need to make an informed marketing decision. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.
Mailings
There are a lot worthwhile reasons for screws businesses to conduct direct marketing. Unlike other marketing tactics, direct mail has the potential for exceptional ROI, as long as the messaging is strong and your mailing list is targeted toward likely customers. At Gaebler, we advise small and medium-sized businesses to purchase mailing lists from reliable providers. Despite the added upfront expense, premium mailing lists are a smart investment if for no other reason than their ability to generate higher conversion rates.
Coupons
Think you know all there is to know about coupling? Maybe not, at least when it comes to using coupons for screws business promotions. Traditionally, coupons have been limited to print ad distributions. These days, coupon programs have expanded to include electronic coupons distributed through social media and redeemed via a mobile device. In a typical coupon scenario, screws business operations combine coupons with targeted messaging and purchase incentives. If you aren't familiar with coupon marketing, navigating the creation of the fine print can be challenging. Consult a marketing professional for guidance.
