When you have a physical building, advertising can often seem pretty straightforward. Signs out front of your business are a clear way to attract customers.
How do you advertise efficiently and effectively if you don’t have a brick-and-mortar business? Increasingly, even large and successful businesses choose never to establish a brick-and-mortar building.
There are many advantages to avoiding a physical business. Businesses without physical locations can remain more flexible and adaptable than businesses that tie themselves to a brick-and-mortar facility.
On the other hand, not having a facility comes with challenges as well. Here are some tactics for affordable and efficient advertising for businesses that don’t have brick-and-mortar locations:
Use Your Vehicle to Advertise
Even companies that don’t have physical addresses or brick-and-mortar facilities often have vehicles to deliver packages, meet with potential clients, etc. At the very least, you probably have a personal vehicle.
Any vehicles that you may have in your business offer opportunities for advertising. Vehicle graphics are a superb way to advertise your business in the places that you are already going. When potential clients see your quality vehicle advertising, they may approach you or write down your information to contact you later.
This is an inexpensive way to stretch out your advertising as well as making your business seem more professional. Whatever kinds of vehicles are involved in your business, whether they are entirely devoted to business use or they are personal vehicles, it’s well worth taking advantage of the opportunity to use them for marketing.
Build a Strong Social Media Community
Many businesses overlook the potential of social media. True, social media is an opportunity for some affordable marketing, but it is also an opportunity for you to build meaningful relationships with your clients.
Today’s client isn’t happy with the standard business relationships. They want a company that understands their needs and makes an effort to connect with them as a person, not just a client.
Developing communities on social media in which you discuss your product or service with clients in an in-depth way is a superb way to develop a strong relationship that will benefit you as you market your business.
Network Widely
Too often, small businesses behave as though everyone is for themselves and every other business is an enemy. However, businesses that offer supplemental services, related services, or in some cases, even the same services as yours can actually offer tremendous benefits.
Take opportunities to market together, share customers, sources, and resources, and help each other to build a better business. While it’s true that you may lose some business by helping the competition, so long as you are also gaining business, the chances are good that the clients you’re getting are better suited to your company.
Enjoy Innovative marketing
The best marketing is continuously creative; constantly finding new ways to engage with new customers. Have fun with your marketing and don’t bemoan your lack of brick-and-mortar opportunities. Advertising opportunities like vehicle graphics and social media can make all the difference.
