Successful branding and effective business exposure can appear daunting for those that are unfamiliar with email and internet marketing. The first step towards successful community outreach should be to measure the effectiveness of your brand as a leading voice in the community.
Actively Pursue Contact Information
It is important to maintain open lines of communication with your clients and customers by staying in contact with those you meet. Your employees, website, and social media accounts are valuable tools that can help facilitate the gathering of email addresses.
Contact information from customers can be difficult to receive, but it is extremely rewarding.The better your employees are trained to think beyond today’s sales, the better equipped your business will be to succeed tomorrow!
Contests held at trade shows and local events can be an extremely effective way to gather business cards, phone numbers, emails and home addresses.
Search for Referrals
Consistently reaching out to your customers is a great way to spread your influence. Newsletters will keep your business name relevant and allow for referral opportunities from people on your email marketing list. This is why it is extremely important to actively develop and maintain a list of email contacts in order to maintain contact with those in your community.
Newsletters are a valuable resource to utilize once your email list has been compiled. Weekly and monthly newsletter publications allow for your business to reach out to prospects and customers and remind them of the good your business is doing for the community.
Keep Their Attention
The more engaged your brand is with customers, the more likely they will respond to your outreach. Interactions with the community should help build a customer base over time, and once your business is established, the outreach should lead to your growth for many years.
Once you have actively established an email list, remember to contact your loyal customers about upcoming news, deals, events and sales. This will help to keep your outreach affordable and effective at driving traffic!
