What are best avenues to bring customers to you and increase your visibility? In
this post, we will look at some methods that business owners have used for many
years and have been very successful at increasing their customers and generating
more revenue for their business.
A very effective way to generate
business, thus increasing your profits, is to talk to people you know; friends,
families, neighbours, hit the pavement, spread the word to everyone you know,
especially those who like your business and the products you have to offer.
Be
creative; if for example one of your products is balloons consider going to all
the restaurants in your area and make a deal to have your balloons given to the
children who enter. When you visit businesses or friends take a few samples of
your products to show them, leave your products with them so they can look at
them while you are gone and then follow-up with them and find out what they
think. Make them feel a part of your business.
Networking is a great way
to make business contacts and you can do this almost anywhere that you go. Your
local chamber of commerce often has networking functions where you can meet
other business owners in your area.
You can talk to them about their business
and what works for them, exchange business cards. This is a great method for
making contacts. After the social function make a point to go and visit their
business,it is important to develop a relationship with them.
Take a walk
around your neighbourhood. This is a great way to meet new people in a casual
environment and allows you to sell your product without really selling it. You
will have an opportunity to find out what customers who are near you like.
Will
your product appeal to them? Should you tweak your products to match the
potential customers that are near your area? Go into that coffee house that you
may not frequent and spend sometime talking with the other customers. This gives
you a good feel of the potential market near you.
If you do not have a
web page yet, then it is high time to utilise this tool for marketing your
business and the products you offer. If you are not comfortable creating your
own page there are many professionals that can do this for you and you can use
this as an opportunity to promote your business as well.
As they get to know
your product while they are creating a web page for you, they can also refer
others to your site. Remember, when creating a web-page you want to provide the
potential customers with information and keywords that are specific to your
company.
