Marketing days

You have ONE second to make a lasting impression on other members who are scrolling through the posts on marketing days. Therefore, you have to make the best of every opportunity. Here are a few tips to stand out from the others.

1.      Strategise: Sit down and plan what message you want to convey and when. Don’t be lazy and don’t wait for the reminder announcement before you decide what you would like to share for the day.

2.      Different messages: Think about it. You have Mondays and Wednesdays to market your product or service. If you don’t have different products or services, then focus on different solutions that you can offer. You can convey the same message in many ways – so be creative.

3.      Consistency: Be consistent. You never know who will need your service on the same day that you advertise your business.

4.      Solutions: You should have a good idea of who needs your product or service, and what their challenges are. Instead of selling your product or service, offer the solution to the challenges.

5.      Engage: Don’t wait for people to contact you about your product or service. Engage with possible members who can collaborate with you or who might need your product or service. You need to be proactive.

6.      Valuable info: Instead of just pushing your business, share valuable information with the members. Showing that you are an expert in your field, will make it easier for other members to trust you.

7.      Referrals: Whenever you come across another small business that offers amazing products or services, refer them to the rest of the group.

8.      Striking design: Make your post striking with interesting information, easy-to-understand content, self-explanatory pictures, and professional design. Remember, a picture says a thousand words. Make those words count for you.
