Niche Marketing Tactics

Marketing a Used Silverware Business

You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting a used silverware business. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.

If you're hoping to leverage marketing to give your used silverware business a competitive advantage you're not alone.

Advances in technology and the marketplace itself have made it necessary for businesses to stay on top of the latest trends and strategies. Core marketing concepts offer touch points to help small business owners navigate uncertain markets.

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 used silverware businesses, the real challenge is compiling a substantive quantity of qualified email addresses. 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.

When It's Time to Rebrand

There are many reasons why it might be time to begin a rebranding initiative - but a lack of alternative tactics is not one of them. Rebranding is an intentional marketing technique designed to deliver long term results. In a used silverware business, the time to rebrand is when your current brand is outdated or no longer in sync with the needs of the marketplace. All businesses change over time and rebranding can bring your business profile in line with your current core competencies. Unless you are confident that you possess the skills necessary to rebrand your business, we advise consulting with a professional marketing firm before you introduce a new brand to your customers.

Sponsorships

Event and team sponsorships are a proven method for raising the public profile of used silverware businesses. Successful sponsorships create connections with customers; ineffective ones alienate customers and drain your marketing budget. A strategic sponsorship targets actual used silverware business customers. In any sponsorship scenario, be prepared to quickly withdraw your support if the event begins to attract negative publicity.
