Generating Buzz

Good buzz is a mythical creature in marketing circles. Although it's rumored to exist, it's hard to nail down. Whether you call it viral marketing or word-of-mouth advertising, a lot of ground can be gained by encouraging positive conversations about your company. When you're promoting an accident report service, buzz is a critical consideration in the marketing mix. The process begins with developing communication vehicles and mechanisms that invite discussion. With minimal effort, you can instigate conversations through social media and other communication vehicles favored by today's consumers.

Leveraging Print Ads

Print advertising has been a marketing staple for accident report services. Historically, Gutenberg's invention has been used for a broad range of commercial and promotional applications. But although businesses have more promotional options than ever before, there are many attractive venues for featuring your accident report service in print. These days, the key to effective print advertising is to align the publication with your business goals and ROI requirements.

Managing Negative Publicity

A certain amount of negative publicity is a given for most accident report services. 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.
