If both companies draw a loyal customer base, you can benefit from getting your name out in front of these people with little effort on your part.  If you own a fitness center, a good center of influence for your business is a health food or beverage distributor.  If you are a Financial Advisor, a great center of influence may be Estate Planning attorneys and Tax Advisors.This concept holds true for several industries.  Partnering up with other small businesses is a great way to create business synergies at low to no cost.  This marketing technique can be carried to your promotion pieces as well.  For instance, if you send out brochures, you can include a leaflet and/or business card of another business, which has agreed to do the same for you. This gives you the chance to reach an entirely new pool of potential customers.  

Be Resourceful


Give out free branded t-shirts, hats or other gear that is likely to be worn to loyal customers, family, friends and anyone else who would like one. The catchier the design, logo or tagline, the more likely it is to be noticed. Consider being your own walking advertisement by wearing a t-shirt with your company logo and/or website on it. Plaster the same info on your car and park it outside in high traffic areas.  Magnetic signs are relatively inexpensive and can be highly effective if you live in a place with a high propensity for traffic jams.

There are dozens of affordable marketing solutions for small businesses.  When you are a small business owner, you must rely on several approaches to market your business.  Having a website is not an approach, it is a necessity and you have to continuously draw existing and potential customers to it by any available means. Use creative marketing techniques to not only drive your bottom-line but to also provide a valuable customer experience that sets your business apart from the competition. The more creative the method is, the more opportunity available.
