Offering Free trials

Free trials are products or offers you give out to a potential customer so they can have a test of what you are offering.

Its like a way of encouraging people that what you serve is the real deal and they can trust their money on your care.

When you offer free trials, your trust level automatically increases and you make more sales.

Now if you are offering a service, you can decide on a free trial duration, either hourly, in day(s), weekly or anytime.

If you are selling a product, you can offer one for free trials first, if they decide to buy they will be buying from you.

Note: a free trial offer is not the buy two and get one free offer; it is a offer where you give someone free samples before collecting any money as sale.

And also, the person can have the choice to patronize you or not patronize you.

Examples of companies that offers free trials are Semrush, Netflix, Spotify, etc.

Paid social media advertisement

This means shouldn’t be looked down on, because social media is your number one go to, if you want to be heard all over the world.

But to make your campaign more effective, then you need to learn how to use this them effectively.

You can do so by creating groups and pages promoting them on different groups, inviting your friends and asking them to invite theirs.

Although that could take time, so if you want something that will save you the stress, then consider running campaign ads on social media.

But in other to milk out the benefits, you need to reduce the amount per day (this is a premium advice), reduce it to the lowest.

And run it for two days highest, after the campaign ends, re run again.

Printing Banners and Flyers

This is a traditional means of advertising, but it stills works, you can print banners to post on billboards.

Or print flyers for hand-to-hand marketing, you will be surprised how far this can go in promoting you.

Get the cost of production and make copies according to your budget and if you can employ someone to share it.

 But incase you are making the printing, print it on a printing press to reduce the cost drastically. 

Running an affiliate program

One of the most effective ways of growing your business is by running an affiliate program,

Whereby people invite people to buy your product and you give them commission in percentage, depending of what you decide.

When you run an affiliate program, a lot of people can make use of your brand as a means of generating revenue.

So for this to be effective you need to own a website in other to create unique affiliate links for users or customers who will like to invite potential customer to your online store for a commission.

Once you have this set-in place, you can contact bloggers who write in your industries to help promote and input their affiliate links.

You can also  encourage your buyers to promote their affiliate links to earn reward.

Hosting Referral contests

Another way to grow your business is to host referral contest so the percent who wins will get gift or cash prizes.

The difference of this and running an affiliate program is that, you only give the winner of the contest prizes.

So, it can be the top three will win something in return if they are able to top the table and refer more people.

So make the prize something that is irresistible and watch how your customer base grow.

For this means to be effective, they can either refer to your Facebook page, WhatsApp business, etc not to your product.

If you wan to your product then use the affiliate program option, referral contest can only increase your audience.

Introducing gift prizes

This is where the buy two and get one free falls under, so this means of promoting can encourage people to buy your products in bulk.

You can even put gift inside the packages, or give out gifts if you are offering a service.

Go for Interviews

You can look for shows that have huge audience, ask to be grant an interview so you can talk about your business openly.

Examples can be television shows, radio programs, or even podcast.

Another effective means is asking to be interviewed on these big YouTube channels.

Although it will cost you, but it will be worth it, because people can call ask questions and get your contacts for business.

Using Brand ambassadors

You can employ a brand ambassador if you have the means to do this step, because it is a very effective way to develop your business.

A brand ambassador should be someone with good social media present, possibly a very good influencer.

Now one thing about brand ambassadors is that they made your brand look more serious and professional.

This boost customers confidence to patronize you and thereby increase your sale.

Promote organically

This is the hardest because you don’t have to pay money, all works are done by you but it is also effective.

The meaning of the organic is that you don’t have to pay money to get you business to reach people.

So you can promote organically by posting on forums, talking to your friends and contacts, posting on social media, etc.

Basically all the efforts you take by yourself without paying money, is what we  call organic promoting.

Drawing the curtains,

So those are the informal ways you can promote your business and see subsequent progress.

Meanwhile, while working on your promotions also make sure your business brand is presentable.

Now the reason why you won’t see growth on your business after massive promotions is because your business is not looking professional enough.
