Marketing Techniques By Market
Marketing an Insurance Adjusters Business
At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own an insurance adjusters business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.
Sales, profitability, market share -- the things that matter most to business owners all come down to how well you market your brand and products.
Advances in technology and the marketplace itself have made it necessary for businesses to stay on top of the latest trends and strategies. More than ever before, foundational marketing concepts have become the bedrock upon which successful marketing strategies are constructed.
Do We Really Need A Logo?
Logo development in an insurance adjusters business is a big deal. A logo is a visible representation of your organization's mission, identity, and values. Without a high-quality logo, your brand will simply blend in with the rest of the marketplace and gain little traction with consumer audiences. 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.
Viral Marketing
Will Rogers said, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. However, you can put salt in his food." That's kind of how viral marketing works. When you're marketing an insurance adjusters business, you ultimately have to cross your fingers and hope for the best. Even though total control is impossible, the right actions at the right times can encourage the viral distribution of brand messages. Social media and other online vehicles can seed a viral marketing campaign, but you'll need to nurture their development through direct customer interaction as well as other techniques.
Public Relations Strategies
Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. If you want to send unrestricted marketing messages to your audience, buy a mailing list and perform a direct mail campaign. But if your strategy calls for sophistication, media buy-in and thought leadership, hire a PR consultant. 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.
