10 Easy Marketing Tips for Small Businesses
Introduction:
Starting a small business takes a lot of effort
and money, and one way to achieve your
business goals is through effective marketing.
Of course, devising and implementing a
marketing strategy will require a lot of time
from you as well. With all the things you need
to oversee like admin duties and financial
tracking, it can go crazier when you add
marketing to your plate unless you hire
someone experienced to take over the
marketing or offload the repetitive admin tasks
to a virtual assistant.
There are some easy marketing tactics that you
could try though. Ready your pen and paper
and list down which ones you think would work
for you.

Being on social media is almost a requirement even for
startups and small businesses. Different platforms have
millions of active users each day, so you could just
imagine how much it would help expand your network
if you have a Facebook or Twitter page, a YouTube
channel, or a LinkedIn account.
You will have to dedicate time for social media
management so that you can provide engaging content
and other updates to your followers. Alternatively, you
could hire a virtual assistant to take care of this for you.

emails about industry or company news, updates, or
links to your new blog posts. Remember that email
content should be engaging and informative too.

to join your contest. Free items like shirts or discount
coupons on your products or services can be enough to
draw a good number of participants. These participants

thinking of a fun online contest.

CUSTOMER SURVEY
Nothing is as precious as getting comments,
suggestions, or feedback from your customers or even
potential customers. Through tools like Google Forms or
SurveyMonkey, you can create questionnaires that you
can send out to those on your email list. Survey results
can produce valuable insights that you won’t find
anywhere.
