How Can I Improve Our Marketing

Marketing a Plastic Blow Molding Business

Promotional tactics for plastic blow molding businesses are exceptionally diverse. But in our experience, there are a handful of tips and strategies that will deliver the best return for your marketing efforts.

As a business owner, it's imperative to understand that your financial metrics are inextricably linked to your marketing capacity.

Staying on track requires attention to detail and a commitment to foundational marketing principles.

Industry Resources

Lone rangers don't survive long in a plastic blow molding business. An awareness of industry resources can mitigate the isolation of ownership and result in a more stable (and more productive) leadership experience. The best resources are usually the ones that leverage industry-specific experience and the input of proven veterans.

Bundling

Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most plastic blow molding businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.

Public Relations Strategies

Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. When plastic blow molding businesses leverage PR, they tell thought-provoking stories about their brand and products. In the process, they establish themselves as thought leaders and encourage the marketplace to give them a second look. 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.
