Strategic marketing tactics can help small social settlements businesses scale their visibility with consumers. What small companies lack in resources, they can make up for in marketing intelligence and expertise.

Strategic Partnerships

When multiple interests join together in a strategic partnership, they gain social settlements businesses a new approach to the marketplace, rooted in the achievement of shared objectives. Joint ad campaigns, mailings and other marketing initiatives can be conducted on either a short- or long-term basis, as long as each partner is involved in the creation of messaging and has approval authority over the content that is released.

Coupons

Percentage discounts, volume discounts, and bundling offers are standard coupon fare. In a typical coupon scenario, social settlements business operations leverage couponing to entice first-time customers to make initial contact with the brand. Coupled with other marketing techniques, a steady stream of legitimate coupon promotions can incentivize periodic customers to increase the frequency of purchases from your company.

Email Campaigns

Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.
