Tip #1: Develop a strategy. Because most business owners are constantly juggling multiple priorities marketing can sometimes be pushed to the back of the line. By developing a strategy you can help keep your marketing efforts front and center without wasting time. Your marketing efforts need to remain constant to continue to bring in new business. When you have gaps in your marketing plan your competitors will always get the upper hand.

Tip #2: Develop a marketing "consciousness." If you can become more involved in your marketing efforts and develop a basic understanding of what is effective you will become more inspired and have more valuable ideas for you company. I suggest reading a book on marketing, attending seminars, learning more about your website and working closely with your marketing consultant to get the most out of your efforts.

Tip #3: Keep asking questions. Continually ask questions of your consultants and see if they have new recommendations for you to enhance your campaigns. They are your most valuable allies and a good consultant will know what works and will be attuned to your competition so you can learn from others successes.

Tip #4: Use a blog. If you don't have a website and blog I highly recommend taking the time to contribute to one. This is an excellent platform to highlight your experience and strengths and make the most out of the products and services you offer. I suggest inviting your customers and potential customers to check out your latest blog posts. Blogging builds credibility and will help keep your company name in the forefront.

Tip #5: Use Press Releases. Email press releases to your local media outlet whenever you have anything newsworthy. It is a free way to keep your company name prominent and should be part of your strategy. Some great newsworthy topics are announcing your new website, receiving government grants, organizing a successful fundraising event, or a new business opening.
