5 TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SMALL
BUSINESS MARKETING
CLOSER MEDIA
1) WHAT DO YOU WANT?
• This might not sound like a very marketing orientated
question, but
• in fact it goes to the very core of marketing your small
business.
• People start small businesses for a variety of reasons – to be
their
• own boss, to work from home, because they were laid
off, because
• they saw an opportunity, or the kids are now at school etc etc.
• Whatever the reason for starting a small business, one of the
key
• elements for the success of your business is to know where you
• want to go with the business, because that “vision” is going to
• dictate how you market your business.
2) WHAT ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO?

How will you conduct business? What lengths are you prepared to
go to in order to secure a customer? How do you want your
customers to see you?
In essence we are talking about values here. The business world
can be a tough place to operate in and there are legions of stories of
business people succumbing to dubious or even illegal activities, in
order to make an extra buck.
However, your business values go way beyond the simple division
between legal and illegal. They permeate every aspect of how you
conduct business, whether you are conscious of it or not.
3) WHO ARE YOU GOING TO TELL?
• Who wants, or is likely to want, or should want, or might want,
• what your small business is selling?
• And which of these potential customers are you going to tell
about
• your business?
• If you answered – all of them – then think again. For a start, a
• small business can’t possibly satisfy the expectations of a very
• broad clientele.
• Secondly, and more importantly, you want to eliminate as far
as
• possible having to deal with “bad” customers – i.e. those that
don’t
• pay, those that drive you nuts for very little return etc etc.
4) WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TELL THEM?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

This is where the rubber starts to hit the road! What messages are
you going to communicate to your customers?
This requires a lot of thought, because the messages you
communicate need to be consistent, whatever the medium you
use
to do the communicating.
If the messages you communicate to your customers are not
consistent, then you are creating a problem for yourself because
(a)
the customer is not sure what you are offering and (b) as a result
you will not know what the customer expects!
The likely result of this is a less than happy customer, which really
means that your marketing efforts have been wasted. Worse still,
you have paid in time, effort and perhaps money to create an
unhappy customer! Now that is not very smart.
5) HOW ARE YOU GOING TO SAY IT?
• For a small business, this is where you have to start budgeting
• sensibly because if your enthusiasm runs away from you, you
can
• end up spending thousands without much effort.
• You need to know exactly how much (if anything) you are
• prepared to spend, and then work within that framework.
• Don’t let anyone persuade you to spend more with promises
of
• clients falling over themselves to spend money – adopt a
more
• cautious approach and do the achievable.
• There are literally dozens of ways you can communicate your
• message to your target customers, from the traditional, like
• advertising and direct marketing, to the latest bizarre fad.
