Marketing Advice By Business Type
Marketing a Specialty Warehousing and Storage Business
You're heavily invested in the success of your specialty warehousing and storage business and failure isn't an option. That means you'll also need to invest yourself in the strategies and techniques it takes to effectively market your brand in the marketplace.
Strong and steady wins the race in marketing a specialty warehousing and storage business. For businesses in this sector, solid execution and a commitment to core messaging are the most valuable marketing traits.
Customer loyalty isn't what it used to be. Cash is king in today's marketplace, so your marketing plan needs to focus on value messages.
Directories
There are many different kinds of directories in which to list a specialty warehousing and storage business. When all of your competitors are listed in a directory, you have no choice in the matter. To keep pace, competitive businesses must include the same directories in their plans for marketing specialty warehousing and storage 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. Regardless of whether it is a premium or free listing opportunity, every directory needs to be evaluated on its own merits. Also, be sure to update your directory listings whenever your contact information changes.
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. For the majority of specialty warehousing and storage businesses, collecting and updating the email addresses of qualified recipients isn't cost-effective. 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.
Marketing Expertise
A lack of personal marketing experience is not an excuse for moving forward without the support of a promotional knowledge base. Entrepreneurs and leaders of specialty warehousing and storage businesses can't afford to invest large sums of money in untested strategies or first-time marketers. Although a learning-by-doing approach is typical in this industry, we advise young marketers to seek the input of experienced professionals before committing time and resources to untested marketing concepts.
