Unique Advertising Strategies for Your Business
Starting a new business comes with a deluge of challenges–among them, developing and implementing creative advertising strategies and marketing techniques that differentiate you from your competition. In the battlefield of brand recognition, it’s crucial to stand out, finding unique and innovative ways to promote your business.
To jump start this process, consider the following strategies for marketing and promoting your brand!
- Leverage social media influencers: Partnering with social media influencers can be a great way to get your brand in front of a large, targeted audience. Look for influencers in your industry or target demographic, and offer them a product or service to review or promote. This can be a cost-effective way to reach a large audience quickly.
- Host an event: Hosting an event, such as a workshop, seminar, or networking event, can be a great way to get your brand in front of potential customers. Use social media and email marketing to promote the event, and offer special discounts or promotions to attendees.
- Use content marketing: Content marketing is a strategy that involves creating and sharing valuable, relevant content with the goal of attracting and retaining customers. This could include blog posts, ebooks, infographics, or even video content. By providing valuable information to potential customers, you can build trust and credibility for your brand.
- Partner with complementary businesses: Partnering with businesses that complement your products or services can be a great way to reach a new audience. For example, if you sell handmade jewelry, you could partner with a local boutique to showcase your products. This can be a win-win situation, as you both get exposure to a new audience.
- Use experiential marketing: Experiential marketing involves creating interactive experiences that allow customers to engage with your brand in a meaningful way. This could be a pop-up shop, a product demo, or even a live event. By giving customers a hands-on experience with your brand, you can create a strong emotional connection that can lead to long-term loyalty.
There are numerous creative and unique advertising strategies a new business may employ. By leveraging social media influencers, hosting events, using content marketing, partnering with complementary businesses, and using experiential marketing, you can stand out from the competition and get your brand noticed.

4 Signs a Franchisor May Not Be Around for the Long Haul
A critical part of the due diligence process for prospective franchisees is trying to discern (to the extent reasonably possible) whether the franchisor will be around for the long haul. After all, much of what you pay for in a franchise opportunity is the right to be associated with the franchisor’s brand and system, the right to use the franchisor’s proprietary materials, and in some cases, the right to an exclusive territory. If the franchisor goes out of business, all of these rights go up in the air (if not out the window), and you may well be left in a worse position than if you had just gone into business on your own in the first place.
