Industry Specific Marketing Advice

Marketing a Geographers Business

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

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

Strategic marketing tactics can help small geographers businesses remain competitive with much larger businesses. The key is to market smart through the consistent application of fundamental marketing concepts.

Technological Expertise

The PR and marketing community has embraced technology with open arms, transforming basic marketing concepts into sophisticated, tech-driven systems and solutions. As a result, a primary concern of growth-oriented geographers businesses tends to be a search for news to leverage technology to scale up the organization's promotional firepower. In addition to marketing professionals, many businesses now include IT units as valued partners in their strategic marketing efforts.

Company Website

Technology is changing the way small businesses market their products and brands. The on-ramp for using technology to promote your geographers business is also the anchor point for your technological strategy: A company website. A functional and attractive company website is no longer an option for businesses with a long-term outlook. Content, architecture, and features are important consideration when creating a website. Conversion paths are also important. With the proper design, your site can walk new visitors through a series of decisions that culminate with either an online sale, a phone order, a personal visit or a request for more information.

Email Campaigns

Today's consumers are extremely tech-savvy. They rely on social media and email to both receive and transmit brand messages. What does that mean for your company? It means the odds are in favor of email campaigns actually connecting with customers. For geographers businesses, the hardest part of an email campaign is gathering the email addresses of likely customers. At Gaebler, we recommend buying mailing lists from professional, third-party providers. Purchased lists aren't the only source for customer contacts, but they can be used to create fast momentum for email campaigns and other initiatives.
