Find Ways to Personalize Your Marketing

 Subscribe in a reader

Every business I know attempts to connect with their customers in some way, no matter how big or small that company is. Consider the nation wide companies with branches in a variety of different locations. Let's say specifically a restaurant where they have a variety of different things on the walls to add character.

I can say with absolute certainty that each of those restaurants are going to find something about the specific location they're in to put up on their walls. This works well with sports teams for local high schools or colleges, or even just teams in that particular town. If you go into a different branch of the same restaurant in a different town you'll see various things on the wall reflecting the area the restaurant is in.

They're doing whatever they can to say to their customers that they know what people like there, and they're going to try their best to connect with those things as well.

No matter what type of marketing you're doing you need to try doing the same, and the smaller your business is the easier it will be to accomplish this. That's the strength of a local company that larger corporations just can't match. Sure, the larger companies are going to try to connect with people in each city, but they won't know the city as well, and they won't be as strongly connected to the community.

A good way to introduce your company when opening up a small business is with something like custom greeting cards where you can talk to people on a more personal level. Don't just send out a generic form of advertising or anything like but, but make sure that your greeting card reflects your business and the area that your business is in.

That way you can tell people right from the beginning that you're one of them and you know what their lives are like. Use those custom greeting cards to mention who you are and why you opened your business to begin with. Tell them about yourself so they'll see how you relate to them, and why you're connected with the community.

This is a chance that you won't be able to get again. You want your first impression to be as powerful as possible, and you want to introduce yourself in such a way that they immediately view you as close to them, and that doing business with you will be helping the community as well.

Some things just can't be bought with money, and nothing can compare with genuinely being close to the community. You want to develop a strong bond of trust, so let people know who you are, and find the best way possible to let them know about you and your business.
