Boost Sales With Zero Budget!
Don’t let a lack of funds stop you from stellar business growth!
You have great products and services and are ready to grow your business as a new entrepreneur. But you have zero funds for marketing and to boost sales. No worries!
There are many ways to obtain new customers and boost sales without any money!
For example, you can…
1. Create a no-cost offer and promote it.
What can you provide your targeted audience members that won’t cost you a cent but will provide value?
Can you offer:
• A checklist, guide, analysis, and/or report that will help them with a current problem they have?
• A product or service you already provide that you can add-on to your current offerings?
• A donation to a charity in their honor when they make a purchase?
• A free massage, car wash, bring-a-friend special, or something outside of your regular offerings?
The possibilities are endless! You just need to be creative and think about what your customers really want right now!
Once you have your free offer, post it on social media, send out emails, put on a gorilla outfit and stand outside of your business with a big sign, call potential customers…
Basically, you need to do whatever it takes to get the word out effectively!
2. Get the power of the press working for you.
Don’t forget about the local media! Decide on why reporters will care about your business. For example:
Do you have a unique product, service, employees, expertise, or background?
Are you having a grand opening celebration?
How does your business contribute to the local community?
Once you know what you’re going to say, call your local media members and introduce yourself. Let them know why their audience will be interested in your business and the value you bring to the community.
Who knows? You may get a nice feature story from this one, simple call… at no charge!
3. Partner with other businesses.
Are there other businesses in your area that complement what you offer and target the same customers?
Why not partner with them to provide joint products and services, a community charitable event, special discounts, and more?
This way, you’ll share the work and resources… and double your list of customers in the process!
Go For It!
Need to grow your business without any money? Don’t let that stand in your way. Just be creative!
Think about what your potential customers want and develop unique products, services and offers relative to their needs. Share your news with the press, partner with other businesses in your area and work with charitable organizations to help build positive buzz.
Yes, this takes time and effort. But the results are worth it.
Soon, you’ll have enough money for a marketing budget. Then, you can stop worrying about sales and start worrying about how you are going to satisfy so many new customers at once!
