In today’s world, everyone is talking about online presence. Yes, this is important, but if you are tired of those online tips and tricks, here are 3 small business marketing ideas that you can implement without worrying about your online presence.
#1. Engage with your local Chamber of Commerce
The local Chamber of Commerce is not usually the place where businesses are looking for new customers. However, getting involved with it will definitely give you something beneficial and namely, advice, help, and connections to all kinds of potential affiliates. These things, especially your business connections, are just as important for your business as any potential customers.
How do you get involved with your local Chamber of Commerce?
All you need to do is type your city name plus “chamber of commerce” into the Google search field, and you should see all your local chamber’s information and details on the very first page. You should be able to easily get in touch by giving them a call or even sending an email.
#2. Create cooperative marketing opportunities and discover customer interests
Let’s start with an example. Say you are selling fitness supplements in a shopping center that also has a gym. The easiest thing you can do is talk with the gym owner or a representative and see if they will allow you to leave a stack of flyers on their front desk. The smart thing to do here is to customize those flyers to that particular gym and provide a discount for whoever visits your shop and presents one of those flyers to you.
Of course, such opportunities are not that obvious at all times, but they surely exist. Use your imagination, look for connection, think perspective, and you will definitely find a similar case scenario that is applicable to your business.
#3. Join your local Rotary club.
Rotary is an organization with over 1.2 million members of loosely affiliated organizations in the United States alone. These members can give you even more small business marketing ideas. Those members are known to do great work for their local communities, and being part of the Rotary club will definitely improve your reputation.
