8 Ways to Keep Your Business in Sight and in Mind
Is your business name out there? Or, are you losing clients/customers because your business name is out of sight and out of mind? Statistics show that it takes between 6 and 8 exposures before a client decides to buy your product or service. In this article, I will touch on 8 ways to keep your business in sight and in mind, which will increase the exposures for your existing and potential clients. Are you ready? Let’s go:
1.
Business Cards
Business cards come in all shapes and sizes now. Even digital.
When starting out in business, this is usually the first thing you buy
and the first thing you hand out to potential clients. Their first exposure.
2.
Networking
There are networking events and opportunities everywhere. Some are free, others you pay for. Getting out there, meeting people, listening
and talking to people, and being genuinely interested in their business will
lead to many exposures. Discovering how
you can help each other and passing on referrals is priceless. This is one of my favourite ways to keep my
business in sight and in mind.
3.
Website
In this day and age, having a website is vital.
People will search Google to find what they are looking for, whether it
is a product or a service. When the list
appears on their screen, if your business name appears without a website link
you may lose that potential client. When
faced with a list of business names, most people will click on the business with
a website link first. That is what I
do. Your website address should be on
your business card and every form of written communication, online and offline. Imagine the exposure opportunities for
existing and potential clients by having a website.
4.
News/Blog Page
Having a News or a Blog page on
your website is another way to keep your business in sight and in mind, racking
up those exposures. The key is to update
the content on a regular basis.
5.
Email
Sending an email is another way to keep your business in sight and in
mind. A follow-up email to those you met
while networking adds to their exposures.
An email campaign to your existing clients will keep them informed about
your products, services, events, and any other news, as well as up their
exposures.
6.
Brochures/Flyers/Leaflets
Brochures, flyers, leaflets are excellent ways to keep your business in sight
and in mind. The perfect items to hand
out at trade shows. To increase your exercise
and get your business name out there, you could put your brochures, flyers, or leaflets
up on bulletin boards of local businesses or on their countertops (with permission
of course) or through letterboxes in residential areas. Win win.
7.
Newsletters
Whether electronic or hard copy, newsletters are still an ideal way to get
information to your clients, existing and potential. Whether monthly, quarterly, biannually or
yearly, newsletters keep your business in sight and in mind.
8.
Vehicle Signage
Vehicle signage is an excellent way to get your business name out there, whether
magnetic, decal, or custom painted. Think
of your average day, how many places do you park your vehicle where people pass
by? These people are your potential or
existing clients. Vehicle signage raises
awareness and increases exposures.
In this article I have touched on 8 ways to keep your business in sight and in mind, but there are many other ways. The key is to keep exposing your business name to your existing and potential clients often.
