Niche Marketing Plans

Marketing a Coupons Business

You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting a coupons business. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.

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

These days, most businesses are counting on the fact that their marketing plans will push them ahead of their competitors and deliver the best possible market share. With marketing pressure at an all-time high, your business needs to incorporate tactics designed to position a coupons business in the winners' column.

Newsletters

Despite the unrelenting demands of generating content on a monthly or quarterly basis, a company newsletter has promising potential as a marketing device. Unlike flyers and other advertising mediums, newsletters have an informational focus. In fact, the best newsletters encourage customers to take the next step without ever asking for a sale. Increasingly, coupons businesses rely on newsletters as cornerstones of a deliberate PR and marketing strategy, combining print and online distribution channels.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for a coupons business is a big deal. In tight markets, logos differentiate one company from the next. More importantly, a good logo can differentiate your value proposition from your competitors. 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.

Managing Negative Publicity

Not sure how to handle negative PR? You're not alone. It's a probably faced by many coupons businesses. But the time to address your response to negative publicity is before it happens. If you wait until a crisis hits, it's already too late to control the message. At Gaebler, we advise our business partners to have an updated crisis response plan in place at all times. Mailing list providers can also provide quick access to accurate mailing lists, an important consideration if your crisis response plan contains a direct mail component.
