Financial Climate looking a little grey - local businesses need to work smarter!

With the financial climate looking a little grey to say the least, local businesses need to work smarter.

You can only be in one place at a time. If it's our own business you'll be an expert at multi-tasking and marketing will be way down the bottom of your list.

This is the time to bring it to the top! To keep your business ahead of the competition it's key that your company is seen as THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS. Which is what The Best Of Colwyn Bay is all about.

Ideas for marketing your business...

  • If you have a website, keep it update with latest news, offers and discounts.
  • Create the "chains" with other local businesses as mentioned byTeresa from TBC Marketing at the last TBO meeting.
  • Networking...the best referral is word-of-mouth, so tell people what you offer because you don't know who may need that service in the future.
  • Freshen up out-to-date marketing material...commission new photography, new design, fresh copy...it all makes the difference.

Updating marketing material can be expensive. Understanding this effects the smaller businesses the most I am offering members of The Best Of Colwyn Bay 10% OFF on printing right up to Christmas.

Call Nina at Design2Print on 01492 876610 or alternatively email nina@design2print.co.uk to discuss your requirements.

Please mention you are a member of The Best of Colwyn Bay as we support local.
