Our success with the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce in 2016 was not only great for getting our name in front of local businesses over having won a Business Excellence award but the sponsor of our award, Blackwood Building Centre Ltd., also received a lot of recognition.• Contests Offering MerchandiseHolding a contest is a great way get word out about your business. Watch out for serial contest entrants (yes people have side jobs entering contests all day) and take the construct of the contest seriously. Look for loopholes that could be exploited and carefully plan your contest so it targets your ideal clients.Offering free samples or credit as a reward is great when you focus on those who need what you have or do. You may get less entries but it’s better to get 10 qualified entries than 1000 entries from people who are really only after a freebie.• Radio AdvertisingRadio ads are still a good tool especially if you deal locally. Many stations are eager to support local businesses so try reaching out to your local radio stations. The cost might be a lot better than you expect!• Newspaper MentionsThese are great for getting eyes on your business. It’s even better if the newspaper has an online equivalent that publishes the article.If you are able to get your name in a newspaper editorial and the author is willing to link to your site, then you’re not only getting some amazing exposure but because of the link, you are also telling Google that your website has more value.Journalists have trust placed in them by their readers so if you can get someone to feature your business in an article you should definitely do it.*Bonus Pro Tip – if you have key phrases drafted and website pages with them sending the right on-site ranking signals, then try asking the article author to link to your business with an actual term you’re trying to rank for.• NetworkingNever underestimate the power of good networking for your business. Getting yourself out there at events, trade shows, or anywhere else you can find your target audience is a great idea.Not all events cost money and even if you don’t make a connection you can still have a good time!Some other quick ideas to boost your brand exposure include:• Sending postcards to past or prospective clients• Posting flyers, sending mailers or distributing door hangers • Goodie bag and door donations at events where your target market will be in attendance• Merchandizing• Volunteering• Even get your car wrapped with your brand messaging! These methods are good on their own and together they result in you building your credibility and getting more exposure in front of your ideal target market. The value of credibility is immeasurable for business success and the cost of not having any clients know, like, or trust you is equivalently high.Understandably, a lot of these tips seem great but are often tough to execute.
