Marketing Advice By Business Type

Marketing a Spas and Hot Tubs Wholesale and Manufacturers Business

A profitable spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers business is about more than supply and demand. It's about designing ways to entice new customers to engage with your products and to encourage existing customers to increase the frequency of their purchases.

For a spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers business, a great business model doesn't guarantee solid revenues.

The marketplace is constantly shifting to accommodate consumer demand and that means businesses need to adapt their marketing requirements accordingly. The consistent application of solid marketing principles is one of the few business requirements that has stayed the same.

Improving Customer Loyalty

Customer loyalty provides the backbone for business growth. In growth-minded spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers businesses, sorted and updated mailing lists obtained from top-tier providers are effective tools for customer acquisition. However, customer acquisition will only get you so far. To achieve revenue growth, you'll need to combine customer acquisition channels with strategies and mechanisms designed to transform new customers into followers and hopefully, brand advocates.

Product Knowledge

There is no substitute for being able to speak convincingly about your products in a spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers business. Small product details translate into key value propositions which are critical for distinguishing a spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers business from the rest of the field. If necessary, conduct product information meetings before launching a major marketing initiative.

Loss Leaders

The majority of spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers businesses understand that more customers will walk through the door if a few products are priced at less than full retail value. Moreover, a loss leader marketing strategy can compensate for dead periods when customers tend to making purchases. A classic mistake of loss leader marketing is to create pricing without researching the competition. In a worse case scenario, you could be counting on pricing that is higher than your competitors. For the majority of spas and hot tubs wholesale and manufacturers businesses, the real benefits of loss leaders emerge through the careful marketing of other products, usually offered at a much higher margin. Whenever possible, piggyback a loss leader approach with the purchase of bulk merchandise that can be bought at a discount.
