Make marketing work for you.

Marketing is an essential tool to get your business and your brand heard in a marketplace that, whatever industry you are in, is getting busier and busier.

Of course it is essential that your products or your services are good to begin with. Having a good product or providing a valuable service is the starting point, not only because the best marketing tool is, and always will be, word of mouth. Keep customers happy and any extra work you do to make your business heard will only help; while disgruntled customers will undo even the best marketing campaign.

As important as it is to get a message across, it is equally important not to bombard people. This is where creating something such as a leaflet that people can take away and read in their own time is so useful.

How can you ensure that the leaflet won’t simply get scrunched up and thrown into the back seat of the car? Of course there are no guarantees, but people are far more likely to read something and then hold onto it if there is something useful for them in it.

For example, if you are a garden centre, why not come up with top ten tips to growing a healthy vegetable patch? Not only is this likely to be of interest to your customers, thus making them more likely to hold onto your details, but it provides you with the perfect opportunity to show off your knowledge and expertise.

If you are a small business you can learn from larger companies - notice where retailers put their leaflet dispensers in their shops. You’ll find that rarely are leaflet dispensers put in a corner of the shop (unless they relate to a particular item that they are placed next to) but they will be next to the tills or by the entrance. These are called the point of sale displays.

The most effective point of sale displays are next to the till. Why? It grabs the customer’s attention while their goods are being packaged and paid for. Use this time wisely, and you will hopefully find your queues getting longer and longer.
