Brand Awareness is one of the most important aspects of running a successful business. It is important to create valuable content for your readers, focusing on something that resolves their problem or increases their sales. It may seem obvious to keep your reader in tune with your content, but valuable content not only helps make you an expert in your field, it improves your SEO too. When Google finds relevant content for their readers, it increases your website's rank in search results. Creating great content gains trust with your audience and with Google. You can create valuable content through blogs, infographics, videos and podcasts. The ways to reach an audience frequently change, but you don't have to do all the work yourself—freelancers love to guest post for blogs or interview for videos or podcasts.
Social media plays a large part in how we communicate today. To build brand awareness, it is important to have good visibility online. There are many social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Twitter, Google Plus, Snapchat and others where your business can engage. While it may seem time consuming and difficult to keep up with, mastering one at a time may be the best approach to grow your business. Many platforms have groups that specialize in your business specialty. Get involved to gain trust and to get new prospective customers.
Networking on social media can build your brand awareness but so can connecting with your potential customers through other channels. One way to do this is through giveaways or contests. Everyone loves to win something or to get something for free, so giveaway some fun items! You could even capture email address by having them sign up and then later build an email campaign to remind them who you are and why they were interested in your business.
Business is competitive but it is still important to partner with others within your industry, such as suppliers, vendors and manufacturers. Collaborating with others within your industry not only gives you insight on what is happening, but it also provides you with valuable information from others who are building a business like you. It makes you credible, builds business awareness and gets other businesses to recommend you.
There is so much you can do to get involved with your community and it doubles as free marketing! You can do something for your community and send out a news release before the event. You can have informational marketing materials available at the event or have employees available to answer questions about what you do and make connections. However, the best thing you can do at a community event is show how you care about the community. People love to connect with a business that loves more than just what they do but also cares about WHO they do it with. Putting one or more of these tips into your marketing plan can help your business grow by increasing brand awareness, potential customers and sales.
