Is your
business suffering from a seemingly endless rut? Are your faithful customers
the same, without any new faces? It’s 2014 already! It’s time to rally your
business into the New Year with renewed vigor and better projections. So, shine
your open sign, dust off your shelf, and have everyone notice your business
this new year!
Advertise
through email
Way before
social media, the tried and tested way of reaching new and existing customers
was through email. Advertising and marketing through email offers a more direct
approach to customers. You can also reach a particular segment of your market
and tailor fit your emails for them. There are several tools available to make
the task easy. Don’t forget to make the subject line catch so that people will
open the email and the content compelling and persuasive so they will read what
you sent. Of course, it goes without saying that you should avoid spamming your
mailing list.
Let
social media work for you
Having an
active social media presence is like having a virtual open sign turned on 24
hours a day. The top social media sites for businesses at present are Facebook,
Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest. Be sure to have your contact details
prominently displayed on your profile so that people can easily reach you. Post
interesting content several times a day. Identify posts that resonate well with
your customers and find ways to make your content go viral. Engage your social
media audience by well thought of responses to comments and direct messages.
Note that negative comments and posts can easily go viral as well.
Introduce
products people are going to get excited about
Staying in
business entails being able to innovate since your customers’ needs and wants
will evolve. While it is possible that some of your products or services won’t
change, introducing new products will make your customers repeat customers and
even entice new ones to your business establishment.

Keep your
physical store attractive
It goes
without saying that your physical establishment should be as inviting and
conducive to business as your online presence. Make it attractive with eye
catching displays. Clean premises are also part of being attractive to
customers as well as convenience in terms of parking and access for
differently-abled customers.
