The Marketing Store

I run a small retail shop in New Port Beach, What general products can i use to increase traffic?

Well, retail store are also very competitive. I'm guessing your shop is in a commercial business center along with other small shops. The best way to drive traffic is in your window displays. Not only show the products you're selling but be sure to put some signs that people can read when walking by. The sign needs to be large with short phrase, for example. "FREE Lotion with any purchase over $25". Another great marketing tip for your store is to advertise your store name on bags, receipts and employee uniforms. Again, word of mouth is the best advertising, so be sure to treat your customer with respect and make them feel comfortable while in your store. Having a theme to your store will make it fun.

For online retailers the thing i can say is SEO.

Custom Business Logo Design

Hi, I just started my own business. Where can i have a logo designed?

Hey Kevin, you're in luck! I actually specialize is logo design for new companies. I do simple text design, text and graphics logo, and complex logos. You can email me direct so we talk about it some more. design_firm@yahoo.com

Having a simple logo will make a world of difference when it comes to promotional and advertising. When a logo is too complex people have a hard time reading it from far and when they're moving / driving fast. Simple text logo will look great on promotional products and advertising. For example look at FEDEX's logo.

Promoting my Restaurant

I've been running a restaurant for 9 years now, how can promote it?

Hi Red, a simple solution is to start within the restaurant. Custom imprint your glasses is one simple way. You can also offer customer the chance to win a gifts after purchasing a certain dollar amount for example a hat or shirt. These gift will help your promote outside of the restaurant or you can imprint some cool glasses that they can take with them after their meal. Restaurants maintain themselves through worth of mouth, so be sure to treat your customers with the best possible service and make it fun.

Freelance Professional

I'm a freelance professional how can i use promotional products?

You can use promotional products on a small scale. You don't need to buy tons of giveaways. For example John is a photographer, how can he benefit from custom promo items?

Get screen printed t shirts with your name and "PHOTOGRAPHER" printed on the back of the shirt, this will show everyone you're the photographer when you're working on site.
Create package sample giveaway. Include some of your recent work along with a business card and maybe an coupon offer that you can give away to people while at the venue.
Be sure to leave plenty of business cards with the party that hired you so they can refer other people to you.
Keep in contact. Be sure to send a thank you card to recent customers. don't forget the business cards.
Be sure to have a web site with samples of your work. People want to see before they buy, very important.
When freelancing "Word of Mouth" is very important. Be sure to be professional at all times.
