Finding new customers can be difficult for small businesses. You have limited time, and you don’t know where to start. These five marketing tips will help you grow your business and attract new customers. Don’t worry. These tips are quick and easy to apply, so you can get started today!

1. Seek within your network

You can often find the best clients within your own network. As you already know them, you already benefit from a relationship of trust, which makes it easier for you to work with them. 

2. Participate in (local) events

As our first tip suggested, a broad and strong network is very important. By attending local events, you meet potential customers, who can either become customers directly or be added to your network (and later become customers). Be sure to ask everyone you meet for a business card, and hand out your own business cards as well.

3. Make sure your business location stands out

Every day, thousands of people may pass your office or store, i.e., thousands of potential new customers. Use, for example, banners and flags with your logo to differentiate and make your business stand out.

4. Take advantage of social media

You can easily reach your target customers through social media. Be sure to keep up to date with the news and post articles related to your business. You can also ask your network to help you increase your followers in the beginning. When ten of your friends share a post, you can potentially reach thousands of people. The great advantage of social networks lies in their free and easy access. The downside is that it takes a lot of time and regular effort to track them.

5. Connect with your local target audience

80% of small businesses have a local target audience. Knowing that your target audience is in a small geographic area makes marketing much easier and cheaper. So, be sure to spend your time and effort wisely and focus on reaching local audiences before you expand and spend time and money. Know where your target audience lives!

The possibilities are limitless.
