Join forces in your local community

Your local community could hold the key to your business, and so it may be the time to focus on this area as an alternative method of marketing your business. There is a new trend where people are wanting to shop local and support their local small businesses, so you may wasn’t to join forces within your local community. This is your chance to become the expert in your industry and field locally. You could also sponsor local events as a great way to gain some exposure. This opens up different avenues of marketing such as face to face, as well as word of mouth as you become well known for what your business does. 

Respond to comments and messages 

It may feel like a lot of work, but people have taken the time to comment on your social media, send you messages or get in touch, so it is only right that you respond as quickly as possible. This can work really well through social media as engagement is just as important as sharing the content that you have decided to put out there. This can also humanise your business, and it can be a great way to make you appear reputable to potential new customers. 

Try something new

Maybe you should try something new when it comes to your marketing programme. First of all, focusing on one social media platform could be the ticket, but what about the type of content you choose to share on there? These days social media platforms are more than just a status update or sharing a picture. Platforms now support video, live streaming as well as snippets on things like Facebook or Instagram stories. Where Instagram is concerned, you can buy Instagram likes which can enhance positive publicity for your business. This could be a great way to advance the type of content you share than just that standard words and pictures. People buy from people, so your new marketing ploy could be to provide a face to the business and to become relatable. After all, people do buy from people. 

Make sure the cost and market is on point

It can be tricky to understand how you can make sure that your costings for the actual products you sell, or the type of services you offer, are on point to ensure that you can maximise the profits and the potential. This is when small business marketing automation software can really come in handy to help you make the right decisions for your small business. 

Run a competition

A competition is an excellent way to build up an audience quickly, and so you may want to consider doing something like this if you are wanting to promote something. This could work well for a new product or service that you have that you want some extra exposure before launch. You could also provide incentive for followers if you manage to get to a certain level. However, ensure you check completion rules for different platforms so that you do things by the book. 

Let’s hope that some of these options help you up your marketing game this month.
