We Need Better Marketing
Marketing an Animal Trapper Business
You're heavily invested in the success of your animal trapper 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.
Although innovation is important, consistency is critical when you market an animal trapper business. Industry leaders faithfully adhere to a set of foundational marketing principles.
Business savvy entrepreneurs usually have a solid foundation in marketing. But to achieve your goals, there are some other things you'll also need to learn about marketing an animal trapper business.
Email Campaigns
Email campaigns make use of the fact that most consumers and businesses receive information electronically. More than 50% of all email users check their inbox six or more times a day. That's why email campaigns are gaining popularity among small and medium-size business owners throughout the industry. In many animal trapper businesses, collecting and updating the email addresses of qualified recipients isn't cost-effective. At Gaebler, we recommend buying mailing lists from professional, third-party providers. Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.
Competitive Awareness
Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. There's nothing wrong with creativity, but if it precludes your messaging from being represented alongside other animal trapper businesses, there's a good chance that you're missing something. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.
Newsletters
Despite the unrelenting demands of generating content on a monthly or quarterly basis, a company newsletter has promising potential as a marketing device. Blatant marketing messages aren't appropriate in newsletters because they don't communicate informational value to your customers. Instead, your newsletter should contain industry news, product use tips, and other content that captures your customers' attention. These days, animal trapper businesses to distribute newsletters through online channels (e.g. in email campaigns and as PDFs on the company website).
