Generating Buzz
Never underestimate the value of good buzz with consumers. You've heard it said before: Word of mouth is the best form of promotion for products and brands. For a sign engravers business, meaningful brand conversations have the ability to transform the impact of your marketing efforts. The process begins with developing communication vehicles and mechanisms that invite discussion. With minimal effort, you can instigate conversations through social media and other communication vehicles favored by today's consumers.
ROI
Good marketing is expensive. You can't afford to waste money on ineffective tactics for your sign engravers business.
Professional mailing lists improve ROI even further. Vendors can filter your lists to likely buyers, reducing mailing costs and increasing the impact of your direct mail campaigns.
Directories
Directories are a common tool for finding a sign engravers business. Directory selection is often dictated by the market when promoting sign engravers 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. Unless all of your major competitors are listed in a paid directory, it may be better to take a pass and redirect your funds toward other advertising venues. As consumers demonstrate a preference for online channels, make sure your listing include your company's web address and possibly even information about your social media presence.
