Marketing is a diversified and challenging field in which many policies are involved for proper promotion, selling and distribution of products and services. With efficient use of simple marketing tactics you can generate great revenues along with popularity. Below are some of the tactics in marketing that will help you in running a successive business:
-
Try to figure out people’s demands, interests and life styles, first of your area and then in a broader aspect. Devise such strategies that appeal everyone regardless of caste, status, color or education.
-
Make your products easy to buy as compared to other companies. Do not add unnecessary complications and time in the process of buying.
-
Products should be at a reasonable price. Keep yourself updated with what other companies are offering and try to lower your price as compared to them and if that’s not possible try to add some extra benefits that they will get in buying your stuff.
-
It is often said that out of sight, out of mind so keep your product in clear view. You can do this in a couple of ways. Stick sticky notes on office doors, cars, mailboxes and other public places, use bumper stickers not only on car but also street lamp, bathroom stalls, public transports and any other unique place you can think of, paste posters on bus stops, telephone booths, coffee shops, restaurants and other most visited places.
-
Costumers go for uniqueness. Try to do something new in the market that haven’t been experienced before for example if you are sending some pamphlets through mail then put 30 or more 1 cent stamps on it. This will surely make it catchy thus attracting the recipients to open them instead of tossing them in the garage and considering it junk.
-
Publish calendars, door hangers, diaries, t-shirts, bags and other daily used stuff with your company’s logo. Give them away as prizes in lucky draw or any other competition.
-
Involve people for your advertisement. Pay people to stand in front of your company with boards having captivating words about your company’s excellence. Pay people’s ticket in movies or their lunch and tell the cashier to give them a business card. They will surely mouth words about praise to others.
-
Most people are sentimental. Every month donate some of your revenues in charity as it is good for media and client promotion. People will feel they are giving away charity by purchasing your products. You can also arrange for blood drives and other charity shows.
-
