"Erin and her team are very helpful and have or will find the answers for you during the process of home buying and settlement. They are a smaller group but the attention to detail is spot on. Small is good in my book."

You can use the dame ad and list the services you provide but, you need to focus on where to reach them most effectively. You might find that using 3 different marketing platforms for the 3 targets works best. Remember in marketing it's not just one solution it's the collective approach of a marketing plan that will return the best results. Bigger is always better with ads but this needs to be taken in the context of the budget. Marketing is an investment in your business, without marketing staying in business is very challenging. Micro-targeting the clients where you normally find them is the smartest approach. For example, do you work with people who have had criminal charges against them, are defense attorneys a good referral source? Or does the court system have programs or work with individuals like yourself. Call and ask a few.

The biggest barrier is the lack of face to face meetings. Meeting people in person provides advantages that over the phone meetings can't provide. Smiles are absent even if you are out in public due to the all-important mask we all must wear. Facial expressions are a silent communicator and are absent now as well. I do find people having more patience with phone conversations as the phone's importance has increased as a life-line to the world. We have added new presentation tools to assist phone conversations which do improve the quality of the phone meeting.
I don't have just one but the one thing I will add is that I am impressed by the business owners who are reinventing themselves and their businesses. Although it is not a competition, many business owners are approaching it as a challenge/competition in order to remain viable. For example, you...

I don't have just one but the one thing I will add is that I am impressed by the business owners who are reinventing themselves and their businesses. Although it is not a competition, many business owners are approaching it as a challenge/competition in order to remain viable. For example, you may have a restaurant serve special dinners but now, in order to pay the bills and remain open, you have changed your focus to meal prep and delivery vs. fine dining. It's so important to take inventory of your facility and it's capabilities, beyond their original intention, and adapt them to serve a current need in the community. It's a fight, so jump in with both feet and get creative, you may have to put your ego aside for a bit but in the end you will learn more about turning a buck so to speak!

Businesses that are serious about staying in business are jumping through hoops and becoming increasingly creative in their approach to jobs. It's not all bad, in fact, a lot of very creative solutions will benefit businesses moving forward.
Networking expands your reach no matter where you find new contacts. LinkedIn is a bit more specific and rich while MeetUp is very hit or miss.

The most important decision for a new business to make is, "Yes, I need to market the business view it as a necessary investment in their business." Aim for effective but know going in that R.O.I. is a pipedream any more so don't get hung up on data. Anyone telling you they will give you accurate R.O.I. data I would steer clear of. Our market is too loaded with messages and customers just do not pay attention to 'knowing' how they heard of you. They may see a truck logo, go home and Google it, then say, "oh yeah, I Googled you!" Not so. So, step one-really think who your customers are and where they live. Step two-believe in branding-building name recognition is key to building everything else. Step three-be prepared to be in it for a min. of one year. Customers really wake up around month 6 and begin to recognize your look and brand. Most customers shop locally within a 10-mile radius of their home. Don't fall for glitzy billboards, if you count how many ads you see, IF you are stopped at a light near them, it's generally 2 ads so yours may not rotate through as often as needed during the 5 o'clock rush.

Step one is knowing who and where your customers are and step 2 is building awareness of your business through branding and by effectively targeting these customers. Don't get hung up on ROI-the data is inherently flawed because customers really don't pay attention to where they heard about your business. Businesses would love it if they did but they don't because there are so many sources. A good strategy is one that works and will cover several different media platforms.

The main thing to focus on now is living and working. This is our new 'normal' the virus is here to stay. Businesses that focus on figuring out how to continue to work and that continue to market their services will stay ahead of the curve and perform better than those that wait for a change or let fear dictate their actions. Keep getting your message out to the market place even if it is a new and slightly different message to share. It is important to the long term health of your business.
