We see marketing as the great equalizer, a business discipline capable of dramatically increasing a small company's footprint in the marketplace.

By leveraging today's best marketing techniques, any evaporative coolers and supplies business owner can rise to the challenge and create a marketing plan that highlights the value of their business and product offerings

Staffing Expertise

Right out of the gate, you are going to have to make an informed decision about who will be responsible for marketing your product offerings and your brand. For many business owners, in-house staffing is attractive because it can (theoretically) be performed by current employees and can give the owner more control over the process. As a way to improve performance and time management, owners of evaporative coolers and supplies businesses outsource marketing to a professional firm. Outsourcing is less expensive than maintaining an internal marketing unit and it ensures that your company's marketing plan receives the attention it deserves.

Leveraging Print Ads

You're probably familiar with many of the ways print advertising has been used to market evaporative coolers and supplies businesses. From glossy spreads to simple classified ads, business owners have traditionally used print advertising to reach a broad base of customers. But although businesses have more promotional options than ever before, there are many attractive venues for featuring your evaporative coolers and supplies business in print. The difference is that it's more important than ever to make sure the publications you target reach the right people. Publications geared toward large, general readerships tend to be less productive than publications that are read by likely buyers of your products and services.

ROI

Every marketing tactic you use has to deliver results. ROI concerns should be at the forefront of your mind when you think about the many ways you can promote your evaporative coolers and supplies business.

Professional mailing lists improve ROI even further. Vendors can filter your lists to likely buyers, reducing mailing costs and increasing the impact of your direct mail campaigns.
