How to Market Your Business Without Breaking the Bank

Depending on your industry, building a business from scratch can be an expensive venture. From start-up costs like office space and purchasing inventory, it can feel like there just isn’t enough money to spend on marketing. Fortunately, you can start marketing your business today without breaking the bank, and your business will be on its way to profit in no time.

Social Media

Having an active and positive social media presence is an easy (and free) way to market your business by showing off your personality and expertise to your potential customers. As your business grows, you also have the opportunity to incorporate paid advertising into your social media strategy.

Website

Websites like Wix or WordPress.com give you the opportunity to build a beautiful and simple website for free, but it is well worth the investment to host your own website and domain name with WordPress.org or Squarespace. While these kinds of sites give you the opportunity to hire a web designer when you have the money, they are also pretty intuitive and allow you to build your own simple website while you get your business off the ground.

Groups

Joining groups on Facebook and LinkedIn is a great way to make connections, position yourself as a thought leader in your industry, and make you (and your brand) visible to your clients or potential customers.

Be Brilliant

The absolute best way to market your business without spending any money is to be AMAZING at whatever it is that you do. If you provide a quality service or sell an amazing product, your clients and customers will tell their friends and family about your business and you’ll have a line out the door in no time.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed with the possibilities and costs of marketing, but these are just some of the easy ways that you can begin to market your business without breaking the bank. What is your favorite way to market your business?
