Here is a picture of Buddy and me. We really love each other!
I just read a cool post about ways to market your business. It was written for retailers but many can be used for any business. Here you go!
Do "How To" videos.
If you have a flower shop you could do one on putting together a centerpiece for fall.
If you are a service provider, like we are, you could do one on ways to network. Show the right way and the wrong way.
Put the video on your website and social media sites, like Facebook, Pinterest etc. If you have a physical location, you could have the video playing in the store.
A clothing store could be demonstrating how to use scarves.
Think about what you do and then do a video!
Partner with another business.
This might be displaying their product in your store and they will display yours!
You could also give out gift certificates for the other business and they give out yours.
Share information about community events.
We are having a Quilt Show this weekend at the high school. Tell people if they bring in their receipt from the show that they will get 20% off their total purchases. It would be great to have a booth there too to promote your store and show your support for the community.
You might want to put together a list of events each month and give it out to customers.
Give out gift certificates to volunteers.
For example, the people that help at the Quilt Show might receive a $10 gift certificate to your store as a thank you for helping.
Create your own event.
Our town does Trick or Treat Street. You might want to add to that by offering pictures of the kids in their costumes. Be creative with this idea.
Well, Buddy and I are going to go get the red dot! Wish us luck! Meow and Purrs till tomorrow!
How funny you mention that...I AM doing photos at the Milliken Trick or Treat Street...12-2 in downtown Milliken, Sat Oct 26th. All participants can get a free professional photo taken- pets are welcome, too! Prints of the photos are available the following week for pick up. Photogenix,etc/Michelle E Simon
