We Need Better Marketing
Marketing an Aerospace Research and Development Business
Marketing an aerospace research and development business can be a daunting task for new entrepreneurs. But with consumer demand on the rise, marketing skills are becoming increasingly important for aerospace research and development business owners and managers.
The marketing model for an aerospace research and development business has historically adapted to changes in consumer buying patterns and the market itself.
Strategic marketing tactics can help small aerospace research and development businesses scale their visibility with consumers. What small companies lack in resources, they can make up for in marketing intelligence and expertise.
Industry Resources
Business leadership can be a lonely profession, especially when you're leading an aerospace research and development business. An awareness of industry resources can mitigate the isolation of ownership and result in a more stable (and more productive) leadership experience. Even though trade journals have value, we've found that the best insights are often gained through face-to-face contact with industry insiders.
Improving Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty provides the backbone for business growth. In growth-minded aerospace research and development businesses, customer acquisition can be achieved by tapping into the resources of third-party mailing list providers. To encourage customer loyalty, you'll need to tap into deliberate mechanisms that incentivize customers to reward your brand with repeat business. In many cases, online channels can be leveraged to create innovative customer loyalty programs.
Loss Leaders
Smart aerospace research and development businesses understand that more customers will walk through the door if a few products are priced at less than full retail value. When applied skillfully, a loss leader marketing strategy can lead to overall gains in revenue. But to be effective, loss leader marketing requires planning, especially in product selection and price points. For the majority of aerospace research and development businesses, loss leaders substantially increase customer traffic and create opportunities to expose new consumers to the brand. Also, it's important to carefully consider the quantity of discounted products you are willing to offer at the loss leader price since stockpiling or a high volume of loss leader sales can negate the revenue benefits of this strategy.
