How to promote your shoestring budget

How To Promote Your Shoestring Budget

Have you ever wondered how you can create a business with a great client base, without spending thousands of dollars on ads? The truth is that advertising is not cheap and public relations can be costly as well. But a savvy business owner can often get the company’s name out to the public for very little money. Notice, there is no mention of getting everything for free, but there are ways to participate in advertising for considerably less money than you would expect. In fact, if you get creative you may find better ways to advertise than you’d ever imagined.

If you own a restaurant, or have one in the community that does a great business, consider going in with other businesses to create placemats the restaurant can use, and offer them for free. Anywhere from 12 to 20 businesses can place their ad on a placemat and the restaurant uses them on their tables. The price for each participating business will only be 1/20th of the cost to produce and the ads are going to be in front of a captive audience.

This can be a one-time deal or a lasting business partnership between the advertisers and the restaurant. If there are more than one location of the same restaurant, getting the placemats in all restaurant can create consistency in your advertising efforts.

There are also opportunities to team with professional services by sponsoring informational pamphlets to place in professional offices. For example, if you offer child care services, buying pamphlets from companies that offer informational items on childhood diseases, with your name on them, can be placed in doctors offices as well as in pharmacies. Many of these are available and can be an inexpensive alternative to direct advertising.

Get involved in community affairs and if the budget permits, sponsor a local sports team. The expense of uniforms with your business name on the back or front is a good method of getting your name out into the public. Awareness for your business as well as becoming known as one that supports the community can often provide better public relations than many other paid means.

Press releases are often thought of as free advertising and most newspaper editors can see through a press release and the intentions in which they are sent. A good press release, and one that has a chance of being printed, will offer information useful to the public instead of just a blatant attempt at self-promotion. If you have information about a new product important to the paper’s readers, then there is a realistic chance of it getting printed.

An article about a promotion of a local resident or a new product that save money will be more welcome and having it appear in as editorial content in the paper gives it more credibility than when it appears as a paid advertisement. Think before you write because once editors get used to seeing your pitches as looking for a free ad, they probably won’t read any of the ones you send in.

Is too much caution holding you back from business success

Is Too Much Caution Holding you Back From Business Success?

Are you being held back from business success because you’re avoiding things you need to do?

Of course, when you’re running a business it’s important to be prudent. Prudence is defined as «caution in managing your activity.» But alongside sensible caution, it’s sometimes necessary to take a little risk.

If it was easy, everybody would do it. That’s why successful businesses are the ones that actually take a little bit of risk in order to move themselves forward. Some people are put off because of fear of mistakes.

William Shakespeare said: «Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.»

In other words if we allow ourselves to be victims of self-doubt, we deny ourselves the potential rewards of success.

When most people look back on their lives, they don’t regret the risks they did take. They regret the risks they could have taken, the things they could have tried.

One of the ways to get over undue risk aversion is to practice taking small risks. Yes, some of them will go wrong. But the better you get at taking risks and making decisions, the more success you’re likely to have in the future.

It’s important to remember that once you start taking action towards your goal, there is no such thing as failure; there is only feedback.

Some feedback will be negative. But you need persistence. For every problem you come up against, there is going to be a solution.

In sport, you often find that the people with the greatest records and the most success are also the people who’ve made the most mistakes.

They’ve gotten it wrong more often than they’ve gotten it right. But because they’ve been consistently trying, they’re getting better and have more chances of success. The most successful people are the ones who got it wrong the most.

It’s true in business as well. As Rich Dad, Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki says: «Winners are not afraid of losing, but losers are. Failure is part of the process of success. People who avoid failure also avoid success.»

Many people are held back from taking risks by the fear of rejection. If that applies to you, follow the «SW4 Principle.» If you’re worried about somebody saying ‘no’ to you, think SW4. «Some Will. Some Won’t. So What? Someone else is Waiting.»

If you focus on what you want ‘ people saying yes ‘ you’ll have more chance of success.

So you have decide: Is your dream of business success worth taking a little risk?
