Niche Marketing Plans

Marketing a Cable and Wire Business

A profitable cable and wire 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.

A snazzy logo, glossy brochure and must-have brand merchandise mean nothing apart from a robust marketing strategy.

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.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

The question of whether or not to create a logo for a cable and wire business is a big deal. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Logos aren't something that can be changed overnight so it's important to put some thought into logo design. With a lot riding on a logo, it's worth the investment to hire a professional marketing and design firm for your logo needs.

Measurement & Evaluation

Performance is the ultimate measure of quality. You can improve the quality of your B2B and B2C efforts by considering professional mailing lists provided by established vendors. That's just one of the ways cable and wire businesses can achieve greater returns from their marketing initiatives. However, there are no substitutes for measurement and evaluation mechanisms. A robust measurement and evaluation process should include metrics that can be monitored on a monthly, weekly or even daily basis. Designed to monitor marketing efforts on a campaign-by-campaign basis, these metrics can be used as a baseline for strategic planning. Simple quantitative tools are a good start. However, cable and wire businesses frequently go outside of the organization for expertise.

Bundling

Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Bundling is a tried and true method for marketing value concepts. Instead of presenting buyers with a single product offering, you can combine multiple product offerings into a package deal. Most cable and wire businesses can leverage bundling to improve sales and attract new customers to the brand. 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.
