Eight No Cost Ways to Market Your Business

Are you trying to promote your business with a tiny marketing budget? Opportunities are plentiful for low or no cost marketing. Here are a few that won't cost you a cent.

  • Publish articles about your specialty. "How-to" articles are always welcome. Ensure you include your contact information.

  • Write letters to the editor of publications your target market reads.

  • Get involved in an organization or community project.

  • Build strategic alliances with non-competing businesses and cross-promote each other.

  • Publish a special report. A "super how to" list for your specialty area. Distribute freely. Ensure that your contact information is included.

  • Speak to groups and organizations. Make sure the audience is your target market.

  • Carefully target relationships with media sources.

  • Write newsworthy press releases and distribute to your special contacts. The more proactive you can be, the better off your business will be.
