What are the top 10 ways to promote your new business?

Writing a press release is the best way to generate some free publicity. Basically most journalists do not have much time to write stories, so if you can provide them with easily written text it becomes quite easy for them to publish it. But be careful don’t presume that your story will be interesting. The fact that you sell a product is not very interesting. Interesting stories are more likely to be human interest, or about a new business opening. Look inside a publication to see what sorts of stories that they publish and write your press release like one of these.

Have a clear business plan defined and stick to it.

Use your contacts if you have any and start collecting referals. Use the referals unashamedly in the early stages because marketing campaigns can prove mighty expensive to a start-up. So you must not fight shy of using every satisfied client to promote your image and get more clients. Int he early stages, particularly if you are in service industry, it may even pay to have a clause in your contract that your client haas no problem with reasonably acting as a referal for you. Of course your profit margin will drop for each favour received, but that balancing act will cost you much less than an out and out marketing campaign.

May be what I say is very conservative but it is definitely practical till you have some money in the coffers!!!!

I am also convinced from personal experience that nothing speaks louder than a satisfied and content customer!!!

A web site with a good look and feel and an easy interpretation of product and services can lead to good business jump.

SEO also adds value to it, other than market them on social media sites like Facbook, Twitter, and so on...

Marketing, Branding, Tv ads, Print Media, Social Networking, Blogs, Press release, Internet, Cross promoyion etc, etc etc,.......

The above expensive ways to promote your business is no doubt a healthy & risky investment.

Promoting a biz which is inexpensive & a fruitful investment is oustanding customer service which is universally accepted & practised source of promoting a biz.

Business is by the customer so it should be for the customer & of the customer like our Democracy. Customer service is a tool which not allows you to spend even a single penny to promote, It automatically promotes your biz as you provide service which is your USP & also different what others don't provide as per customer satisfaction level.

How great or interesting your product is in which you are dealing is not an issue. The issue deals with how you are keeping your customer which is your business.

Find non-competing companies in your industry and suggest cross-promoting your two products, perhaps through adding links on your websites or including flyers in mail shots.

Write Blogs and get product review done.

We have to be clear as to who can be our prospective client(Group) and focusing on them will also get us them ---as they might have some difficulties with already available solution and then only they are hearingyou-- as well as if our services are well, mouth publicity will also help.
