Marketing Advice By Business Type

Marketing a Synthetic Oils Business

Marketing plays a central role in any company. But when it comes to a synthetic oils business, your ability to market your brand can be the deciding factor between barely making it and achieving stellar industry success.

In a synthetic oils business, a great business model doesn't guarantee solid revenues.

Like it or not, product quality alone doesn't deliver repeat customers. Cash is king in today's marketplace, so your marketing plan needs to focus on value messages.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

The question of whether or not to create a logo for a synthetic oils business makes an enormous difference in your company's promotional impact. A logo is a visible representation of your organization's mission, identity, and values. Without a high-quality logo, your brand will simply blend in with the rest of the marketplace and gain little traction with consumer audiences. Although it's possible to create your own logo, most internally generated logos lack polish and punch. Even if your logo concept sounds simplistic, we recommend contracting your logo to a professional marketing and design firm because it's likely that the logo will be the face of your company for years to come.

Contests

Contests are a time-tested method for promoting a synthetic oils business. By design, contests stir up interest at a time when your business needs to be seen in the marketplace. But contests aren't all fun and games. Poorly run contests can open your business up to claims of impropriety and even legal action. That's why synthetic oils businesses invest time and resources to create contests they can count on to achieve desired outcomes.

Email Campaigns

Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. That's why email campaigns are gaining popularity among small and medium-size business owners throughout the industry. In many synthetic oils businesses, the real challenge is compiling a substantive quantity of qualified email addresses. If you're working under a tight deadline or can't afford the time to create lists in-house, consider purchasing email lists from premium providers.
