With some fundamental marketing tools and a little creative thinking, here are some cost effective ideas to help you get started:
Blog writing, newsletters and social media articles can be great ways of touching base with both your current clients and target audience. Video marketing drives huge engagement, whether you opt for a short promotional video about your business or a quirky, fun short explainer animation to share what you do, it could really make the difference; engage your website visitors and social followers.
Try to offer content that is valuable, relevant and punchy and share something new on a regular basis so you stay front of mind; consistency is the key.
Asking your existing clients for referrals and written testimonials is an easy win to validate your work. Get into the habit of making case studies of your best work whilst you’re working on the project, it’s the best time as your mind is fully immersed on your client and the process of doing the project.
Case studies and testimonials can easily be added to your website or marketing collateral to show results you have already achieved, this helps to build credibility and earn trust.
