We Need Better Marketing
Marketing an Artificial Flowers and Trees Retail Business
At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own an artificial flowers and trees retail business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.
Marketing is the bridge between an organization and its customer base. Build your bridge poorly and you'll quickly find your artificial flowers and trees retail business cut off from the marketplace.
Purpose in marketing is the key to success in this space. The most successful artificial flowers and trees retail businesses are intentional about devising and executing winning marketing strategies. Your company is one-of-a-kind. But your marketing strategy will need to include a handful of features that are common to the industry's top performers.
Geolocational Marketing
Smartphones have added a new wrinkle to small business marketing. Equipped with GPS components, today's smartphones give consumers the ability to perform navigation and other geolocational tasks. If you are an artificial flowers and trees retail business owner, you can use that to your advantage. Exploiting geolocational capabilities requires sophisticated tools and marketing strategies. There are many ways to influence consumers through mobile GPS. However, in its simplest form, geolocational marketing enables consumers to identify an artificial flowers and trees retail business in their immediate area.
Competitive Awareness
Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. There's nothing wrong with creativity, but if it precludes your messaging from being represented alongside other artificial flowers and trees retail businesses, there's a good chance that you're missing something. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.
Mailings
At some point, your artificial flowers and trees retail business will engage in direct marketing. Direct mail has the advantage of delivering targeted messaging to qualified contacts within your company's market segment. Third-party providers have a reputation for generating accurate mailing lists that can be sorted to accommodate niches and subsections of the market. Despite the added upfront expense, premium mailing lists are a smart investment if for no other reason than their ability to generate higher conversion rates.
