Niche Marketing Plans

Marketing a Copywriters Business

Marketing a copywriters business isn't as simple as it seems. To get noticed, you'll need to invest time, energy, and resources in an innovative marketing plan.

Marketing is much more than classified ads, business cards, and brochures.

Concerned about customer loyalty? Producing high quality products isn't enough to lure customers back to your business. Cash is king in today's marketplace, so your marketing plan needs to focus on value messages.

Sponsorships

Event and team sponsorships are a proven method for raising the public profile of copywriters businesses. Successful sponsorships create connections with customers; ineffective ones alienate customers and drain your marketing budget. It's critical to accurately match your event and team sponsorships to likely copywriters business patrons. To minimize costs and multiply outcomes, consider teaming up with a complementary business to co-sponsor targeted events.

Public Relations Strategies

Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. If you want to send unrestricted marketing messages to your audience, buy a mailing list and perform a direct mail campaign. But if your strategy calls for sophistication, media buy-in and thought leadership, hire a PR consultant. The art of storytelling is a core PR competency. Storylines need to be believable and objective while communicating your brand's strengths and value proposition.

Generating Buzz

All business owners want to generate buzz about their products, services, and brand. You've heard it said before: Word of mouth is the best form of promotion for products and brands. For a copywriters business, meaningful brand conversations have the ability to transform the impact of your marketing efforts. Businesses that target brand discussions need to be active partners in dialogue. Social networking and other online strategies can play a foundational role when they are performed in tandem with face-to-face interactions and industry networking.
