How should I market my business?
Content is King on the Internet.
Can you write articles and get them submitted to ezines, newsletters, etc.?
If you don't consider yourself a writer then contact Jerry Right Here.
Tell him what you want your article subject to explain or cover and sit back and let a professional do the job for you. Price? To be negotiated.
You can benefit from their experience by copying successful business marketing plans, including selling methods, pricing and advertising.
Simply make a list of the most successful businesses that fall within your field of interest and study them (and even go to work for them).
Check out these businesses and ask questions that are most
important to you. Learn as much as you can about the needs of your customers and how to gain feedback from them.
For instance; Let's say you have a restaurant. What you need to find out is that an unhappy customer most of the time, won’t complain because people generally don’t like to feel uncomfortable or awkward.
S/He would probably just never come again.
What about convenience, pricing, quality and/or service?
You will find it hard to make a sound business marketing or
promotional decision if you're not finding out about your customers real wants and needs.
You can obtain demographic reports based on the census that
will furnish information on population by race, income and home
ownership.
You can find this information by searchingGoogle.com for "demographic data".

The 4 C’s of Marketing:

Marketing Analysis:
This consists of 4 areas that need to be covered.
· Target Market
· Market size and trends
· Competition
· Estimated sales and market share.
Who is your target market?
You need to do some work here to determine your target market’s age, income, gender, demographics, education, occupation, marital status, and lifestyle.
What's the product or service you're selling and
what’s the “sizzle” of your product that will attract your
target market? What is your best way to communicate with your
target market and how much will it cost?
Market size and trends:
How is your product or service going to be sold?
How far away can it be distributed?
Who is going to buy it?
Some of your answers will come from analyzing your target market’s identification as above.
Competition:
What is your most competitive advantage? Who are your top two competitors? How is your competition doing? Identify their strengths and weaknesses. How do competitors approach the market? What type of customer does each competitor attract? What products and services do they offer? What is their pricing relative to yours? How do they rank in terms of total sales?
Estimated sales and market share:
It can be difficult to come up with what could be considered realistic numbers.
Be realistic and fairly conservative in your projections after
you have considered how well your competition is doing in the
area and how long they have been in business.
Consider your methods of selling, advertising and promotional strategy along with your pricing.
If you still get a good financial result after considering all of these factors, then you have a decision to make.
