I meet and do business with a lot of great people on the road of life. Many of them have their own businesses that they are trying to grow. You already know that it takes time and consistency to build a quality brand name and get the sales volume you need to grow and survive in a competitive marketplace. Marketing must be a part of that picture. I heard an old saying from a past employer that doing business without marketing is like winking at a girl in the dark. You need to set aside a portion of your profits to dedicate to marketing to shed some light on your business products and services.
Of the many forms of marketing, social media must be on the top of the list in order to succeed in this digital world. Most people are getting pretty savvy when it comes to using smartphones and computers to do their due diligence in finding the business and product brands they can trust.
Social media has become the great tool that levels the playing field for the consumer. It's impossible these days to do a dishonest business and not get found out. Folks are pretty quick to give candid reviews of a company's poor product or service. On the other hand, social media is a powerful tool for developing meaningful and lasting relationships with your customers. With the advent of Twitter, Facebook, You Tube, Pinterest and a host of blogging sites, you can very inexpensively market your business and gladly welcome customer interaction and feedback. But this all takes a great deal of time and some expertise. It would be better for business owners to concentrate on their core mission of producing something or serving their customers and let others do the marketing for them.
"What Can I Say?" is my personal/business blog where I intend to brag on my clients. Most of my customers will be local to the Branson/Harrison areas of southern Missouri and NW Arkansas. They will be people with whom I have a personal relationship and strong faith in what they are doing. Posts that you find here will be based on my personal experience with them and will reflect the confidence that I have in your being satisfied, too. From time to time I will post a negative review as a warning to others to stay away from a business that doesn't serve the consumer well.
