We Need Better Marketing
Marketing an Advertising Display Business
Small and medium size advertising display businesses can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.
Still looking for a way to effectively market your advertising display business? Unfortunately, there is a fine line between capturing buyers' attention and blending into the background.
As a business owner, you probably already have a firm grasp of basic marketing concepts. But to rise to the top of the industry, you'll need to gain a deeper understanding of the marketing tactics competitive advertising display businesses utilize in the marketplace.
Bundling
These days, consumers care only care about thing: Stretching their buying dollars. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Nearly any type of business can tap into the benefits of bundling products or services, so it's easy to see how advertising display businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
Media Monitoring
Some marketing initiatives lend themselves to simple measurement while others are more challenging. Direct mail can be evaluated by tallying the cost of inputs (e.g. a premium mailing list, printing, postage, etc.) and measuring the number of customer responses you receive from the campaign. The difficulty comes when you are tasked with quantifying market presence and brand influence. To gauge brand reputation and presence, many advertising display businesses turn to media monitoring. If executed properly, media monitoring can help your brand get ahead of negative messaging and exert greater influence over news cycles.
Make Sure You Have a Good Business Sign
Effective signage gives your brand constant exposure in its geographic market. Although advertising display businesses come in all shapes and sizes, signage can be used by any advertising display business to communicate the company's value to their customers. Visibility, branding elements and other considerations are all factors in the design and size of your operation's business signage.
Given the fact that signage in advertising display businesses has unique characteristics, avoid glossing it over as an afterthought. Talk with somebody who knows a lot about business signage advice and get their input before you create new business signs.
