Promotional Strategies

 




1. How does the company create awareness of its product?

Brand awareness is important because it helps people remember your products and your mission. Blogs, infographics and guest articles are a great way to get started with content. Native advertising, social media and influencer partnerships are a great way to get started with the distribution of that content.

2. How does the company get consumers to try its product?

Coming up with a new product or service is a lot of work, which unfortunately does not stop once it’s ready launching and promoting it is the other half of the equation. You could be offering the best new product or service around, but if you don’t promote it properly, you’re likely to miss out on opportunities or even end up losing money down the line which can be avoided by effective marketing of the product. Some of the effective ways to promote are listed below.

  • Exclusive previews
  • Introductory offers
  • Google My Business promotions
  • Contests and giveaways
  • Email marketing
  • Blog posts

3. How does the company give information about the product to its customer?

A good company is well educated about its ideal clients. Companies know what to expect from their niche, how their customers behave, and how to reach out to their particular segment of the audience. The companies can give information about the product TV advertisements, social media posts and email offers. One more way this can be done is through influencers. Influencers are an incredible asset in the age of social media and digital marketing. Influencers are people who share your product with their audience on a particular social media platform. This could be a blog, Instagram, Facebook, or another platform.

4. How does the company retain loyal customers?

Your loyal customers are a key part of how to promote your product, because they are most likely to not only buy it, but also promote it to their networks. This can take the form of a private, in-person or virtual pre-launch party: an online tour, preview, or demo. Or, it could even be a special invitation to test it out and give feedback. These exclusive offerings to loyal customers reinforce how much you value them and also help to retain their loyalty.

5. How does the company entice the customer to buy more and use their product frequently?

This can be done by giving offers special price offers to people. Rather than just announcing the new product or service, you can make it available as a part of a special introductory deal. This deal can take many forms, including:

  • Discounted pricing.
  • Reduced-rate bundle or package.
  • Joint promotion with a complementary business.
  • Voucher or coupon with purchase.
  • Buy one get one free deal.
  • Double the points if you have a loyalty program.
  • Free gift for every referral.

Whatever the promotion, be sure to emphasize that it won’t last forever. Customers whose purchase power is limited, either by time or inventory, will feel a more pressing sense of urgency to buy.

6. What promotions does the company use to identify more customers?

A promotion strategy is defined by the plan and tactics you implement in your marketing plan to increase your product or service demand. Promotional strategies play a vital role in the marketing mix (product, price, placement, and promotion), and they revolve around:

  • Target audience. Who you are selling for, and what are their interests;
  • Budget. How much you are willing to invest in promotion;
  • Plan of action. What strategy you are adopting to reach your objectives and make sales.
Some of the top promotional strategies are;

1. Content marketing

2. Social media marketing

3. Email marketing

4. Referral marketing

5. Event sponsoring

6. Influencer marketing

7. Promotions

8. Offering refunds

9. Customer loyalty programs

Why the best hire might not have the best resume?

Why the best hire might not have the best resume? A resume tells a story. And over the years, I've learned something about people whose experiences read like a patchwork quilt, that makes me stop and fully consider them before tossing their resumes away. A series of odd jobs may indicate inconsistency, lack of focus, unpredictability. Or it may signal a committed struggle against obstacles. At the very least, they deserves an interview.  As you meet successful business people and read profiles of high-powered leaders, you notice some commonality. Many of them had experienced early hardships, anywhere from poverty, abandonment, death of a parent while young, to learning disabilities, alcoholism and violence. The conventional thinking has been that trauma leads to distress, and there's been a lot of focus on the resulting dysfunction. But during studies of dysfunction, data revealed an unexpected insight: that even the worst circumstances can result in growth and transformation.
