If you are a business leader who sees marketing as a path to give your youth organization, center, or club a competitive advantage you're not alone.
Winning strategies combine common sense marketing with the constantly evolving demands of the marketplace.
Market Segmentation
Given the current competitive landscape, you can't successfully promote a youth organization, center, or club to every possible buyer. Market segmentation has been around for decades and it has enabled many smaller companies to dominate parts of the market, even when they face competition from larger firms.
Filtered mailing lists facilitate market segmentation by focusing your resources on customers within your segment. The best list providers are equipped to accommodate various segments for contained within your youth organization, center, or club market agenda.
Do We Really Need A Logo?
Having a strong logo for a youth organization, center, or club is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Logos aren't something that can be changed overnight so it's important to put some thought into logo design. With a lot riding on a logo, it's worth the investment to hire a professional marketing and design firm for your logo needs.
Social Media Monitoring
The use of social media as a marketing tool is the latest wave to overtake the small business community. Combined with a functional company website, social media attracts new customers and converts them to brand advocates. Social media can quickly go negative, turning brand advocacy into "badvocacy", a scenario in which consumers and users create content deriding your company and your products. All youth organizations, centers, or clubs are especially vulnerable to negative exposure through social media. To counter negative social media, you'll need to monitor your brand's online presence and enter the conversation, redirecting negative discussions toward more positive topics.
