9 Things Small Businesses Should Do To Succeed With Their Inbound Marketing Strategies


While well-established, widely-renowned businesses are busy, encashing hefty gains due to their
innovative marketing strategies and mammoth customer base, small enterprises and emerging start-ups face the real world challenges, drawing the attention of their target audience toward their products and services. The fact that people (read: consumers) are not generally interested in new (read: unknown) brands, or the product that they are aware of, cannot be denied.


So, what are the ways small business should ride on to succeed in a customer-centric market? What should they do to make their in-house marketing strategies flourish? Check out the following 9 points to learn this –

  1. Understand, traditional means, and modes of marketing are gradually dying. Most of the small businesses perish because they choose to work with long-established practices of marketing and brand promotion. One must not follow the traditional approach to market one’s products and services in order to influence the new-age audience. To override the competition and persuade the choices of consumers, there is a stringent need to find out new ways of marketing and promotions.
  2. Research and be aware of the up-to-the-minute practices that large organisations follow. Giving advertisements in domestic magazines does not really prove fruitful these days. Similarly, distributing pamphlets, installing hoardings, too, would not be fertile. You need to find out the newest of trends floating around the market. The denizens of the world spend a huge amount of their time on the internet. Thereby, using social media, digital marketing techniques, and search engine optimization can be helpful in popularising your products and services.
  3. Hire workforce that is versed in the techniques of modern internet as well as traditional technologies. One of the most important things in the way of success is the expertise of your employees.
  4. Get a website. Hire a team of website designing and development professionals (or, alternatively, partner with a web design and development agency), to create your website. Website work as a medium using which your customers, clients, and partners, get to know about your business, products, services, latest offerings, etc.
  5. Deploy white hat search engine optimization technologies and perform QA testing to remove errors from your website, and to help it rank in top search engine results.
  6. Create outstanding marketing contents that have the potential to influence your target customers. Ensure that the content is original and social media and search engine ready.
  7. Find and socialise with your prospective consumers and clients. Use social media platforms to find your customers. As per studies, there are over 2 billion people in the world, who use at least one social media channel. Not only can you find customers, but also promote your produces and offerings. Additionally, the focus should also be on increasing your social media followers.
  8. Train your inbound marketing professionals. Did you know, you can save about 10% to 20% on your (outsourcing) marketing expenditure by training your in-house resources adequately?
  9. Do not blindly follow what your competitors are doing. It is shrewd to keep a track of your rivals’ marketing strategies, but it is never advisable to implement them for the promotion of your products and services. You could face colossal disappointment, this way.
