10 Small Business Marketing Strategies That Work

---

These strategies are quite simple to implement. But, not all of them will work for you, and you do not need to apply each and everyone of them either, okay? …

1. Look for a strategic partner for your business

---

First of all, one who has the same business objective as you. You will then be able to either share marketing ideas, trade leads, sell some package deals, etc.

The strategic partnership is an extremely powerful lever for transforming organizations, be they public companies or private companies.

It provides access to more innovation, added value, more diversity, services and products, without necessarily adding to the weight of investment or structures.

And so, to be more efficient, and ultimately more agile on the world stage to create and share an optimal value

You can search for partners on your own, but different services can help you publish your collaboration offers or find organizations willing to participate in your proposals.

However, don’t just contact the first person you come across. But, take your time to communicate with him or her. Find out what’s their background, the sort of by business they are in. Do they charge for such service? etc.

2. Brand your business and your name

---

In business, branding has become a very important part of its activity. Therefore a proper Brand Management is essential for a business to flourish.

Your brand identity is the skeleton of your business. It is around it that you will build all your strategies.

Whether you define your brand for the first time, or want to change it, it cannot be improvised. Several parameters must be taken into account and it is important not to skip any of the steps.

In order for you to build a strong and memorable brand identity, and for you to be successful in your re-branding, here are some points to consider …

• Before creating the identity of your brand, it is important to know what it is.

• Do you know what a brand and brand identity is?

You can also easily brand your business as well as your name by writing especially relevant articles then submitting them to some e-zines or maybe websites in view of being republished.

Start your own blog and add high quality content to it on a regular basis. Okay, not everyone has a natural skill for writing, but anyone can learn and improve with practice. I hardly was able to write a postcard not too long ago. But now …

3. Starting an auction within your website or blog

---

This may probably be a good idea. Most of all, your auction will have to be in relation to the topic of your website. Therefore you will attract traffic from both auctioneers as well as bidders.

Do you already have a particular sales site project in mind? If yes then what you are looking for is a solution to set up auctions, exactly as eBay can.

Good news, the WordPress CMS can serve you as a base.

There are several ways to create an auction site via WordPress. It is particularly possible to choose a theme designed for this function, but it imposes a graphic appearance.

Likewise, how do you make the day you want to change your look? The best solution, which allows you the most flexibility, is to use plugins.

Be careful, most plugins thought to create an auction site will offer basic options in their free version. We recommend upgrading to a premium version if you want to build a professional auction site.

This is worth doing your research. If you don’t have a website or blog yet, this can also be learned. I knew nothing about creating a website or blog.

4. It is necessary to reserve some break off your day and week

---

Yes, you should, in order to brainstorm, so think of that. Fresh ideas usually make a difference in your success or failure.

The more you feel overwhelmed, submerged, the more important it is, the more urgent it is that you stop.

Because if you do not decide that you will take this time for yourself, no one, I mean nobody will take it for you. And if you do not take it, as nothing will change, you will continue to be overwhelmed, stressed, tired, exhausted, etc …

Here you are entering a vicious circle … It is up to you to break this vicious circle!

It is true that it is not always easy, especially if you are a mom with young children, to take time for yourself. Between the professional obligations, the activities of Wednesday, evening, Saturday, the races, the homework, difficult to take time for oneself without guilt.
  
But if you really believe that a little more time to do what you like will do you good, go for it!

Also, search the net, go through some of the questions asked by users on Quora, participate in discussions on some forums, social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc.

5. Copy other successful businesses or people

---

While I don’t mean to just copy them, yet pinpoint some of their habits that have helped them to become successful and maybe use them in your own way.

Have you ever wondered how a toddler learns? For example, how do they learn how to speak? Quite simply, they copy. They listen and repeat what they hear.

And since they hear thousands and thousands of times the same sounds, they copy them all the time, pronouncing them in a voice still unsteady, and all of this ends up in their brain forever. They don’t have any special method. And it’s been going on for millennia.

Copying is the oldest method that exists to learn. As it has already proven its effectiveness, we should use it more often and perhaps less intellectualize the way we improve.

So a good way to make progress in any area is to find someone who has already done well in that area, ask them what strategy they have applied, and do exactly the same thing.

Carefully choose your teacher though …

If you want to lose weight you are not going to ask a fat person how to go on a diet. It’s logical.

To take another example, it’s the same thing if you’re single and you really want to get married. It makes no sense to ask your friends or friends who are also single.

It is better to find out from someone who is already married. He or she knows the way very well since it was successful. He or she has a spouse to prove it.

There must be someone among your acquaintances that has succeeded and who you are dreaming of becoming one day. If not in your close circle, some Internet Gurus like Neil Patel or Kyle and Carson over at Wealthy Affiliate, etc.

6. You will have to take some risks to increase your profitability

---

Some people only wish to advertise if it is free. Okay, that’s good, but it is not enough.

Although there are places where you can successfully advertise for free, but sometimes you need to spend a bit of money to obtain better results. I don’t mean to say that because you are paying to advertise it means that you will get better results, not at all. You need to test cautiously!

And here is more…

7. Learn how to include especially relevant emotional words into your advertisements

---

Indeed, words such as security, love, fun, relief, satisfaction, freedom, happy, etc.

The human being is a being of reason, but also of emotions. When it comes to making a decision, these two factors come into play and can sometimes be in conflict.

For example, a young man wishing to buy his first car can stress between rational arguments (I do not need a jaguar to go to college, a car of small size will park better in my neighborhood …) and emotional arguments (it’s the same car as in the last James Bond film, I like the smell of leather seats, etc.).

Emotional marketing aims to reinforce this “emotions” aspect, which favors action.

We have all already experienced this: when we are under the influence of a strong emotion, we act impulsively and spontaneously, without relying on our reasoning skills. This is called “being in the grip of one’s emotions”, literally!

This phenomenon is perfectly normal, and it also works in the opposite direction: someone extremely concentrated on a subject will find it difficult to feel an emotion.

Our emotional brain and our rational brain are indeed distinct, and when one is activated, the other goes to sleep.

This discovery is gold for marketers: relying on emotional marketing, they encourage consumers to surrender to the emotions they feel, and therefore to consume more. It is for this main reason that commercials are primarily aiming at the heart of prospects, not their intelligence.

It is well known that words like “you”, “because”, “free”, “new”, and “instantly” are the most powerful words to be used in a phrase to gain conversions. Try that and be amazed!

8. Website reviews are very important for several reasons

---

Who has never sought an opinion from others about a product and or a service before moving on to make the purchase?

Nowadays, on the Internet and more especially on social networks, the customer experience as well as satisfaction are real challenges.

Consumers are becoming less receptive to the “classic” advertisements, as messages grow in number. Faced with advertising hype, they choose to rely on the opinions that is available on the Internet; although there are abuses that exists in this field. For example, fake reviews that are intended to encourage the Internet user to make a purchase.

Before being tied with the “vendor”, trust must first of all exist between consumer and consumer. For this, an honest recommendation can represent a real barometer of trust and commitment. Your customer satisfaction should be the core value your business pursues!

You should not only show to your prospects that you are offering a quality product and / or service, but also you also need to provide proof.

Some comments can help you improve your website, they are very powerful for turning the reviewer and/or visitors into customers. They help your site to rank better.

Actually, Google favors content that reviews products and services. Why? Well, as I understand it, Google is fiercely trying to clear their database off scammers.

So if you are writing a blog post that reviews a product that you know from personal experience it is a scam, Google will love you and rank your article better. Makes sense?

9. Outsource part of your business marketing strategies

---

It is an efficient way to use your personal time on more important tasks. First of all you will save on a lot of your employee costs. Maybe you could for example outsource your marketing, video creation job, translations, etc.

Outsourcing should not be seen as a constraint, but rather as a way to find a solution for everyday’s tasks, which greatly helps to reduce management costs.

It can be used punctually or to meet a regular need, a good way of refocusing yourself on the essential of your daily tasks and missions and to concentrate on the essence of your activity.

It doesn’t have to cost you money. For example I am often uploading blog posts that have been written by someone else. That is called Guest Writing.

It is a win-win situation because both parties benefit from this deal:

• The writer includes a number of links back to their website or social account. It is similar to having a very expensive advertisement, but for free!
• The host (me in this case) benefits from having a supply of high quality content for free.

10. Make it habit to combine your product with a service as a special deal in your business marketing strategies

---

It could boost your sales. For example, if you are selling books, also offer a free hour consultation with it, because people like freebies!

It has become one of the most popular small business marketing strategies. And Internet users now expect something for free before doing anything.

However, your freebies must be of high quality. Like those I am offering on this page, and all through this website.
