So are you a neighborhood superstore looking at opportunities to stay engaged with your loyal customers? Or the new fast food restaurant just opened at the block and having tough competition in attracting customers? Or the established ladies’ fashion and apparel outlet promoting the new product line about to hit the store before the Eid festival? Do you want to know why digital marketing is important for small businesses?
Your situation and needs may look different, but your challenge is the same. How to reach the customers at the right time, at the right place, with the right message….and of course, most importantly, at the right price! Well, you may think about traditional marketing channels available to the small & medium-sized businesses, such as printing pamphlets, putting up banners, have a neon display outside the store, or maybe doing an sms or cold-call campaign if you had an unintentional upgrade to technology.
But let me ask you… as a customer yourself, how much time you spend on reading pamphlets? or appreciating the folded banners mingled with each other at the roadside poles? No doubt you’ll skip the busy streets while driving anyway (where most neon signs will flash if load-shedding permits 😊), and forget about giving any attention to the deluge of hundreds of untrustworthy sms and calls spamming your phone every day.
“How to reach the costumers at the right time, at the right place, with the right message…and of course most importantly, at the right place!”
Then why, as a small and medium size business owner, would you spend thousand of rupees from your previous and limited marketing budget on such activities? If you are among the growing number of educated business owners, then you already know the uselessness of these legacy methods. But maybe you don’t know what else you can do … or where and how to find help in meeting your marketing objectives.
