Cheaper Yet Efficient Ways Of Advertisement
In accordance with the wise saying, the best things in life are free, advertising can be really cheap, if not free. It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to advertise your business. Given below are some of the famous and cheapest ways of advertising:
Free Gifts:
To sell your business, you can buy cheap, everyday items like, makeup mirrors for girls, pens for professionals, and balloons for kids, with your printed logo on the front. You can distribute them yourself in the free time, or hire college students to distribute them in crowded places like cafes, airports, parties, parks, mosques, malls etc; when they will use your items, the logo of your company will remind them of your business.
Design Eye-Catching Visiting Cards:
Try to create exclusive business cards by printing slogans, phrases or pictures on their back. You should always carry a handful of these cards with you in your pocket, and pass them on to the people who might be interested in your business. Don not forget to put your business details on the card!
Get Your Business Stationary Printed:
Flyers, brochures, coupons, catalogues and leaflets should be printed with the visual details of the product, as well as with your contact information, which should be highlighted. It is a good idea to ask neighbouring stores to display your leaflets/brochures on the counter from where it can grab attention of the customers. Likewise, you can ask the receptionists of clinics and beauty salons to pass them on to the clients sitting in the waiting area. Most of the college and university students would be willing to help you out in giving out your printed material to people in canteens, parks and parties. They may be requested to bring back signatures of those people who appear to be interested in your business. This will cost you a little money but you will have your purpose achieved, and the students who helped you out would be glad to get money for this small job.
Paste Stickers on Vehicles:
Stickers are really cheap and extremely effective. Pass stickers on to your friends and family for free. When displayed on windshields, their visual will catch the attention of other people on the road, especially in traffic jams and on busy roads.
If you have a company car, you can paint it all up with your business information and make a moving billboard. You can also get other vehicles on rent for this purpose in return of little payments.
Set Up Your Stalls in Public Shows:
A great way to interact with the public is to have an active social and public life. You will have better chances of meeting prospective clients if you set up a stall in the social events or public shows. You should have abundant visiting card, flyers and small sized samples of your product at your stall. To save money, you can either go to open bazaars or share a booth with another business. Getting visitors comments and their contact numbers will really help you in following up with them in the future.
The Magic of Free Samples:
If your business allows, you can give free samples of your product to random people. They can contact you to purchase your product on the contact numbers that you had printed on the business cards. They will recommend your product to their family, friends, neighbours and colleagues, which is a word-to-mouth advertising and is very effective. Hence, the more crowds you cover, the more would be talking about your business.
