You can also look for opportunities to collaborate with other small businesses to reach a larger audience.

These ways to promote a small business are both cost-effective and easy to implement. You can start with these simple suggestions, and then work your way up to the more labor-intensive techniques.

Create a Company Blog

Creating a company blog is another great way to reach a larger audience. A blog can help you connect with customers and generate new ones.

Social media marketing is all about being part of trends or even starting trends. You can also jump on board with existing trends and promote your own business in the process. For example, you could take part in discussions already happening in forums but mention your business when doing so. You can also celebrate holidays or annual events and use them as a way to promote your business.

Create Video Tutorials Around Your Products or Services

Video marketing is powerful across platforms, and when you take the time to make videos, you can share them in a variety of ways and get a lot of use out of them. One way to create video content is by gearing it toward tutorials. You can show how to use your products or give tips on a certain topic.

Other types of video content that are good for promotion include:

  • video reviews from your satisfied customers
  • behind-the-scenes of your business
  • co-host live streams events

Explainer videos can be similar to tutorials. When you’re promoting your business indirectly by providing information or knowledge, it creates a sense of trust with your audience. It positions you as a leading authority because you aren’t just trying for the hard sale, but you’re really providing them with lifetime value.

Make Infographics

Infographics are compelling because they can share a lot of information and key facts in a digestible way. They’re also sharable and easy to understand for broad audiences. Creating infographics gives you a unique type of content you can share on different platforms.
