How Can I Improve Our Marketing

Marketing a Portable Showers Business

Looking for innovative ways to market a portable showers business? Although you there are no magic bullets that will enable you to dominate the industry, there are several things you can do to improve visibility and market presence.

We recognize that the best portable showers business entrepreneurs tend to possess solid marketing skills. Yet in this industry, the characteristics of able marketers aren't always obvious.

In some businesses, marketing takes a back seat to sales and operations. That's a mistake because without marketing, your brand messages aren't being heard. On the upside, great marketing is a real possibility for a portable showers business with a strong value proposition and a desire to achieve a visible market presence.

Industry Resources

Lone rangers don't survive long in a portable showers business. Most leaders are oblivious to the fact that the marketplace shows no favoritism - for every marketing challenge your business faces, there are hundreds of other businesses and leaders struggling to solve the same problem. Even though trade journals have value, we've found that the best insights are often gained through face-to-face contact with industry insiders.

Geolocational Marketing

Androids, iPhones and Blackberries have made mobile technology a must-have resource for today's consumers. Equipped with GPS components, today's smartphones give consumers the ability to perform navigation and other geolocational tasks. Since you're a portable showers business marketing professional, you can use that to your advantage. Exploiting geolocational capabilities requires sophisticated tools and marketing strategies. There are many ways to influence consumers through mobile GPS. However, in its simplest form, geolocational marketing enables consumers to identify a portable showers business in their immediate area.

Promotional Calendars

Sloppy marketing programs have no place in growing portable showers businesses. A strategy chocked full of time-sensitive ad placements and other tactics can devolve into a tangled mess of overlapping deliverables unless it is coordinated in a promotional calendar. Good calendars include not only tactical deadlines, but also schedules for the inputs (e.g. staff assets, vendors, etc.) that are required to execute strategic objectives. Many list vendors appreciate promotional calendars because they are useful for timing the delivery of the resources your business needs to meet strategic objectives.
