Becoming a Successful Small Business

Within the first year of operation, it’s essential for small businesses to get the word out. The truth is, most small businesses fail because consumers aren’t aware that the business exists. Thus, exposure is the most essential aspect of small business success; at least within the first couple years. Exposure isn’t as complicated as it might seem, though it is important to be smart about small business advertisement. For example, for a small business that sells homemade soap, it would be unwise to try to compete with Oil of Olay and Dove, thus the small business needs to advertise in ways that these industry titans do not. Innovative small business advertisement might include posters at night clubs, signs at gas pumps, or even decals on sidewalks. It doesn’t matter how word gets out about the business, just that word gets out.

Not all public exposure is good so to speak, it’s important that small businesses don’t generate controversy or cast themselves in what could be perceived as a negative light. However, thinking of creative means to reach consumers is always a good business practice.

What’s Your Advertising Technique?

When advertising as a small business, it’s important to have an advertising strategy.  Big businesses all use advertising strategies to varying degrees of success, and finding the advertisement techniques that work best for a small business are even more important.  If a big business advertising campaign fails, that’s just marketing funds lost, but if a small business fails with an advertising campaign, it can have much more dire consequences.  There are numerous different advertising techniques, take Burger King for example, which leapt back from bankruptcy in the last decade to become a competitor.  Burger King TV advertisements follow the model of “all exposure is good exposure”, thus Burger King advertisements often have controversial elements.  While this strategy might not be ideal for a lot of smaller businesses, it has worked for Burger King to generate discussion about their products. 

There are other advertising techniques including bandwagoning (everyone has it or is doing it!), celebrity endorsement (if I use this or do this, I can be like them!), and of course sexual implication (sex sells).  Finding the right advertising strategy for a small business will translate to success.
