How to market your very first business

No matter how life changing your services or products are, letting the world know of their existence and availability is the work of marketing. Corporations spend billions on marketing each year trying to outdo each other with onsite advertisements, events, promotions, commercials, and every other marketing tool known to man. Depending on how you market your business, your endeavor can fail or become a booming success. If you are just starting your first business and don’t know a thing about marketing, here are some tips to help you out.

Digital marketing is the best tool for a nascent business. Currently, the best digital marketing tool is social media. Having a social media account on Facebook gives people easy access to your company’s basics; a list of products and services, the location of the office or store, work hours, phone numbers, and so on.

Inasmuch as you can cram considerable information about your business on a Facebook page, social media apps are also a direct line to potential customers. Through the built-in messenger systems, one can easily interact with your brand and you can respond just as quickly.

Since everyone is on Facebook or Instagram, paying for targeted ads could reach many potential clients. Their algorithms ensure that the right demographics in a specific area see your ads. And these ads don’t cost as much as other marketing efforts like radio commercials or print ads on newspapers.

For Brian Dougherty, people who want to start a business should be prepared to fight an uphill battle. This is why he, together with his wife, Jenny, started Dougherty Marketing, a company that offers entrepreneurial mentorship and training. To learn more about the company, visit their website.
