Marketing Techniques By Market

Marketing an Indian Goods Wholesale and Manufacturing Business

Marketing plays a central role in any company. But when it comes to an Indian goods wholesale and manufacturing business, your ability to market your brand can be the deciding factor between barely making it and achieving stellar industry success.

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

Staying on track requires attention to detail and a commitment to foundational marketing principles.

Public Relations Strategies

The beauty of PR is that it can raise awareness of your offerings in a very credible and cost-effective fashion. For example, if you buy a premium mailing list and use it to conduct a direct mail campaign, that's marketing. On the other hand, if the Sunday paper runs a story about your Indian goods wholesale and manufacturing business, that's PR. Since PR leverages media outlets, it may cost nothing to acquire media placements that feature interesting storylines about your products and brand. The trick is learning how to pitch storylines to media professionals without sounding too promotional or sales-oriented.

Company Website

Technology is changing the way small businesses market their products and brands. The on-ramp for using technology to promote your Indian goods wholesale and manufacturing business is to create a high-quality business website. A functional and attractive company website is no longer an option for businesses with a long-term outlook. Content, architecture, and features are important consideration when creating a website. Conversion paths are also important. With the proper design, your site can walk new visitors through a series of decisions that culminate with either an online sale, a phone order, a personal visit or a request for more information.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for an Indian goods wholesale and manufacturing business is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.
