Introductory (Cold calls) Marketing

Introductory (cold calls) is a type of marketing that allows new businesses to establish a space in the market. This type of calls comes when you contact a potential customer via telephone to introduce the business, what your products/services are and its benefits. It starts with knowing who your target market is, from there you can build a customer database with your potential customer’s contact numbers. This can be sourced from market research (surveys), contact forms from websites, directories, etc. Introductory calls help to build an interpersonal relationship with your potential clients. This type of marketing works well with email marketing as most customers appreciate the call but they sometimes prefer something in writing as well to build trust and authenticity.

Social Media Marketing

The name gives it away. Social Media Marketing is the use of Social Media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok, etc.) to help promote what your business is all about, products/services you sell and its benefits. This can be through engaging posts like reels, relevant hashtags, informative and captivating content. The most effective way to boost sales is through sponsored/paid ads on social media. You have the flexibility to choose your budget, duration for the ads, demographics of your target market and keywords attract your ideal customers.

Email Marketing

Another great way of promoting your products/services is through email marketing. This type of marketing keeps your existing clientele informed of updates, new products or service launch, new blogs etc. It works for all types of businesses, in any industry. It helps to drive traffic to your business website and social platforms. Sound great! The average open rates of emails are 30%. Email marketing is an amazing strategy to communicate your journey, product/services, its benefits, promotional offers with your audience to attract more sales/leads.

SEO Marketing

SEO Marketing also known as Search Engine Optimization Marketing refers to the practice of improving brand visibility securing the highest rank on search engines like Google, Bing, etc. This can be done through keywords optimization and on-page optimization such as content, META descriptions and Site Maps.

Customers usually trust brands when they have ample information about them like their journey and who is behind the brand. Engaging in content marketing can set your business apart from the rest.

WhatsApp Marketing

We use WhatsApp every day but did you know you that you use these channels to your advantage. WhatsApp messenger allows you to send broadcast messages to wide range of contacts introducing your services and pricing. This type of marketing is rare but it works well. It is recommended when building your contact list, consent should be given by the potential customer to contact them via WhatsApp. Building your WhatsApp contact list can come from various sources such as surveys, point of sales, calls, in-person, referral, etc. This is the fastest way to get your message across to your target audience since the vast majority of people use WhatsApp on a daily basis to boost sales and brand credibility.
