Marketing Plans for Niche Markets

Marketing a Workers' Compensation Consulting Business

The task of promoting a workers' compensation consulting business has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?

If you are a business leader who sees marketing as a path to give your workers' compensation consulting business a larger market presence you're not alone.

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.

Strategic Partnerships

Strategic partnerships offer workers' compensation consulting businesses avenues for combining the power of their marketing dollars and messaging with suppliers of complementary products. 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.

Cost Tracking

The economy is a constant concern for people who own a workers' compensation consulting business. You can't afford to waste money on inferior marketing resources. Since every dollar counts, it pays to buy mailing lists from trusted vendors. Good mailing lists are money in the bank; they deliver leads, revenue and most importantly, new customers.

Another way to control costs is to conduct periodic across-the-board cost audits designed to highlight areas that are ripe for reductions.

Bundling

These days, consumers care only care about thing: Stretching their buying dollars. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most workers' compensation consulting businesses can use bundling to communicate value to their base. Since the bundling concept is based on discounts, consumers expect to pay less for the bundle than they would if they were to buy the products separately, so you'll need to make sure your bundle offers real value to buyers.
