I shared some business marketing ideas at the close session i had with five lucky people in my office last week, it was amazing how people overlook opportunities.
Coming up with a business idea or product could be a daunting task but letting the world know about it more daunting. Ask advertising agency and they will tell you what it cost to advertise and market a service or product. It is very expensive.
There are ways to let the world know about your business without spending fortunes. Let us x-ray some of them.
Email signature: i am amazed at the number of mails people send without adding signature to it.{Check my old post on details about this}
Business card:i have also talked about this before
Mobile billboard: If you have a car or you can use one that belongs to a friend or relative that believe in business. Design and easy to read text that has your telephone number or your website.
Website or Blogs: The world will know about your business easily if you have website or blog, it does not have to be a high tech stuff.
Your mailing List: I am sure you have friends on your email address book, send them info about your business. Please avoid spam mails they will tarnish your image.
Networking: join people of like minds or a club where you share ideas i.e BE A BOSS BUSINESS CLUB. Your product or service will be advertised for free.
