Ways to Promote your Business for Free

[bytrade001]

1.Classified Ads : There are plenty of classified ad directories on the internet where you can post ads for free, two such sites being Gumtree and Vivastreet.

2. Send out press releases : Many small businesses consider the prospect of getting press coverage unattainable. However, a good story submitted well has every chance of making the news, and best of all it’s free.

3. Start a blog : Starting a blog is an excellent way of engaging your existing audience as well as attracting new customers. However, blogs do take time and patience so only start one if you have the time to put into it.

4. Participate in relevant forums : Online forums are used and viewed by hundreds of people, and there’s almost always likely to be a couple of forums based around your industry. Participate in these forums through making relevant posts – many forums allow you to include a link to your company in your signature.

5. Cross-Promotion : Find non-competing companies in your industry and suggest cross-promoting your two products, perhaps through adding links on your websites or including flyers in mail shots

Social media is a great way to advertise for free. I think a lot of success in business comes from making personal connections and social media is the ideal way to begin to do this.

Think about this:

If you wanted to buy an Apple. Would you buy it from:

-A press release claiming how awesome there apples are.

or

-The good friend who you personally know and owns a market down the street.

When advertising think about human nature and tackle the free aspects of your findings
