Customers are the lifeblood of every
business says Matthew Brannelly. Any business or organization that is not
attracting new customers or growing its customer base will soon find itself
kicked out of the game. Simply put, if there are no customers, there is no
business.
Hence, it becomes essential to reach new
customers and incorporate innovative approaches to position your brand to the
right audience or sell your ideas, products or services. We ask expert, Matthew Brannelly founder of Orbit NFP hub,
an organization helping non-profit to grow. He provides tried and proven expert
marketing tips to help businesses acquire new customers.
You can’t be seen without Search Engine Optimization
If you already own a website, have
engaging interesting content for visitors to read or run a blog, they won’t
amount to much if they are not being found by the right audience. And this can
be made possible through search strategies.
Search strategies encompass various techniques
and approaches such as SEO, content marketing, search engine marketing, keyword
optimization and link building strategies. When applied, your website and brand
will be able to top the first page of major search engines like google. This
way you can boost visibility and increase customer reach. A much-needed step to
attracting new customers.
Don’t Go Solo
“There is no doubt many businesses
started alone when they just got started on the entrepreneurial journey.
However, as businesses grow and customers increase, partnering with the right
people and becoming a member of a like-minded community might be what you need
to grow,” Matthew Brannelly says. Matthew suggests building your business to
success without going solo:
● Form a
partnership with existing businesses, stakeholders, or good partners who are
aligned with your business models. This can be a collaboration among YouTubers
or brands.
● Create
events with other partners for mutual benefits. For instance, a business that
is into sports accessories may partner with a camping or outdoor activities
company. This will be a win-win situation for these businesses while they
attract new customers.
● Work with
influencers that will create a buzz about your brand and market your business
or products. These influencers can help you reach out to more and build trust
around the audience. A good marketing strategy that subtly promotes your brand
without being aggressive.
● Become a
part of a community and participate in any events or charities. It’s an excellent
opportunity to network and build great relationships that will add value to
your business and your life.
Social Media is a Powerful Tool you can’t Ignore
If everyone is on social media channels
today including your customers, then, nothing should be stopping you from being
there. Social media channels are powerful tools every business should own in
their toolbox. It allows you to connect with customers and prospects on a
deeper level, build brand image and trust and engage with them. You can do a
shout-out to appreciate customers, do giveaways or offer discounts to entice
followers to convert them to customers.
Matthew Brannelly says it doesn’t mean
you should be on all social platforms. That is why it is important to
understand your audience’s persona and channels where they are most active. If
not, it could be a total waste of time and effort. “And not only on the social
platforms, leverage other channels such as email, and media to connect with the
target audience,” Matthew Brannelly
adds.
