Review: Finding People (Customers) Quickly

Here are some top tips for finding customers quickly based on the provided slide deck:
Utilise Local Newspapers and Newsletters:

• ​People from the local area often avidly read their local paper or newsletters. Advertising or getting featured in these can attract local customers.

Leverage Social Media Search:

• Use Twitter (X) and Instagram (as examples) to search for key hashtags and geographical locations simultaneously. This helps in finding people talking about relevant topics in your area.
• For other social media channels, look for similar features or tools that allow location-based searches.

Target Related Product Buyers:

• Identify and target people who buy products complementary to yours. For example, if you sell honey, look for people interested in products that go well with honey.
• Collaborate with businesses selling complementary products to cross-promote and reach new customers.

Join and Engage in Relevant Groups:

• Participate in reading groups, music fan clubs, or any group relevant to your product. This can be both online and offline.
• Engage with followers of similar brands or products to attract a similar customer base.

Influencer and Network Marketing:

• Find and follow influencers in your industry. Engage with their content and followers to attract attention to your product.
• Attend networking events and groups to build relationships and promote your business.

Ask for Help Directly:

• Sometimes, simply asking for help or recommendations on platforms like Twitter can yield results. For example, if you need a social media manager, asking directly might lead to quick hires and new connections.

Utilise Conference Hashtags:

• Even if you don't attend a conference, you can use the event's hashtag on social media to engage with attendees and participate in the conversation.

Optimise Google Searches:

• Perform an incognito search of your business or yourself to understand how others see you online. This can help in improving your online presence.

Free Advertising Strategies:

• Start with personal profiles and live videos to promote your business.
• Create a Facebook business page and build an audience. Aim for 1000 raving fans.
• Be creative with your content to keep the audience engaged.

Test Methods Before Investing:

• Test different advertising methods, such as boosted posts versus targeted ads, to see what works best before heavily investing.

Specific Targeting:

• Ensure your marketing efforts are directed at a specific audience with specific products or promotions to maximise effectiveness.
• These strategies, drawn from your slide deck, offer a blend of traditional and digital methods to find customers quickly. By implementing these tips, you can effectively increase your customer base in a short time.
