Increase visibility of your website in your community:Join local organizations that provide business networking opportunities, or start your own. Do volunteer work for a big charity. You would be surprised at the marketing support such activities can bring.Submit information to blogs:Blog writers are always looking for content for their websites. Target appropriate ones .Send them press releases or descriptive e-mails.Participate in online marketing groups and chats:Search Twitter and other social-networking sites for groups meeting to discuss marketing. For example, Understanding Marketing holds a chat and Q&A session on Twitter that focuses on small-business marketing. Search #smbiz on Tweetgrid.com.Reward existing customers:Offer an exclusive incentive to your regular customers"only your regular customers. Notify them via e-mail or other contact methods, and direct them to an otherwise inaccessible page on your Web site where the offer appears.Get your customers to bring in new customers:Offer an incentive like a discount to customers who get a new customer to make a transaction with your business.Spruce up your Web site: Stale and stagnant sites don't attract business. Fresh, frequently updated Web sites show your customers you are a vibrant and active business. Let users subscribe to get update notices, then update frequently.Provide free and helpful information to your customers:Such content should be related to your type of business and can include tips and hints and reviews, and other information that can help drive sales.Offer your noncompeting business customers a link exchange:A link exchange is much like a bulletin board at your business that holds your customers' business cards. The more links your business has to its Web site, the better will be your search engine placement, and the greater the number of people who see your business's links, the more will visit you. Yes, use Facebook and Twitter:By having a Facebook page , it may not earn you any new business, but not having one may cause customers to ask why you don't.Use downtime for marketing:When times are slow, keep employees busy contacting customers. Create e-mail marketing documents your employees can send to individual customers. Having personal contact with customers gets results. Mass e-mails are less effective and, with today's e-mail spam filters, may not be seen by many. Go for quality contacts rather than quantity ones.
