CNNMoney recently ran an article about 5 Smart Ways to Market Your Business.
Here are their top 5 suggestions:
1) Find new ways to do free.
For example, Charge $10.00 for your free download. Then have 100% of that $10 donation go to “Feed The Children.” You will then see your company name skyrocket across groups like Facebook, Link In & Twitter & forwarded referral emails.
2) Off beat invites For example, send Potential clients heart shaped “Love Notes” and write about how much you would love to do business with them.
3) Get really crazy. For example, host a flash mob at a local mall and have them promote your product by giving them jackets with your company logo on it. Record it, and then promote that video everywhere you can online. Watch your campaign go viral in a few days!
4) Explore social network niches. For example, find a twitter group or a linked in group that talk about what your company has to offer. Then simply go there and answer questions.
5) Kill them with courtesy. Go above and beyond to give crazy good customer service and your net promoters will give you more referral business than you know what to do with.
