What are the best ways to promote a business?

Answer 1

#1 is word of mouth. Prove your commitment to good customer service, quality product and prompt service and they will recomend you to everyone in need of said service.
Go above and beyond, do more or different things than your competitors.
#2 Free Adverstising - Low cost "hand-outs" like buttons, kids tattoos / crayons, pens. Depending on the product, sending samples or offering extreem discounts (one time offer) to local radio station chat shows. If the host is impressed they will most likely say the name of your company and your service on air. You can also target local small businesses, colleges, etc. again, depending on the service or product you offer.

Answer 2

There are so many ways to promote a business. The "best" way depends on your budget and how you want to market (print, online, etc.) I can speak for Internet Marketing- If you have some money to spend- Pay Per Clicks are great. If you want to Advertise for less, try traffic exchanges (I have an article on Traffic Exchanges and tons of links for free ones- on my blog- http://www.bluescitytravel.blogspot.com

Best of Luck!

Answer 3

When I had my Landscaping Business years ago it was promoted through my customers. I had made Business Cards, Flyer's and Pens to hand out. In time I found these were a waste of time and money as everyone was referring me to others.
So, in my opinion the best promotion is satisfied customers. This may be different for other type Businesses.

Answer 4

Watch The Apprentice on NBC and you'll see the ways NOT to promote your business haha seriously though, I'd suggest first reading a good psychology book on persuasion. That will give you a good sense of what actually works in convincing people to buy your product. Then I'd suggest making a catchy commerical or radio spot. Or simply target the audience your business is trying to reach.

Answer 5

Like the majority says...use your customers to drive your PR engine.
Since recommendations play a big part in driving businesses such as yours....do you have a customer who can recommend your business? If so get on this newly launched site called http://www.servicedomino.com. Once listed(free) you get a easylink to your page on the site e.g:mybiz.servicedomino.com....its perfect for small businesses such as yours. Add this link to your card and let your customers words work to bring you more business.

As the database grows...you get traffic directed to your listing and category....as customers look for recommended businesses. Recommendations are the best form of ads arent they? If you already have a website you can include the links to the same once you have been listed thus driving hot leads to your site.

If you are on the top 5 list...the company promotes you via its ads too. All you need is to get your customers to go recommend you on that site.
