We know that running a business can be a challenge. Often, it feels like you’ll never get to the end of your ever-growing to-do list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the items on that to-do list is often \u2018Think of ways to reach new customers and grow the business.\u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Nowadays, many companies reach new customers through high-ranking Google or Facebook ads. Unfortunately, these can be too expensive to make work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So instead, we want to help you find other ways to grow your business without using online marketing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Without further ado, here are three top tips to grow your business: <\/p>\n\n\n\n You could offer a free gift when a new customer makes their first booking. This will act as an incentive to book, and if it\u2019s a physical gift, it can act as a reminder of your brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, for: <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the item has your name and logo on it, it will remind customers of you each time they see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And if they carry it around with them, it acts as free advertising when friends and family come to visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a reason why word-of-mouth recommendations are gold for small businesses. They are proof of the quality of your events. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A refer-a-friend reward scheme will encourage your customers to share their positive experiences with others. They are also a chance to show customers how much you value their referrals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The best referral schemes offer both the referer and the referee something, whether that\u2019s discounts or simply hard cash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of your refer-a-friend scheme, you could offer: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Offering these rewards to both parties will make sure that both feel valued. That way, you can keep existing customers while inviting new ones too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find other local businesses that you could partner with so you can each promote the other’s brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re looking for providers whose customer base is similar to yours. However, you shouldn\u2019t be offering the same service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That way, you can support each other but avoid any conflicts of interest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, if you run: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Partnering with nearby caf\u00e9s to promote your events is a good idea for in-person events. Your customers will no doubt need somewhere to eat, drink, or relax before or after your event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can recommend the cafe to your customers, and in return, you could ask them to display your flyers on the counter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That way, you both get your brand in front of new potential customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, there you have it\u2014our three top tips for growing your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We like to give pointers for collaborations that provide everyone with a win-win. That could be a win-win for you and your customer or for you and another business.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can create a deal where everybody benefits, and your business can grow alongside your customers or collaborators. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We know that running a business can be a challenge.
