Smart marketers use stickers...if they want free advertising

I read Andy Sernovitz's marketing blog this morning, and saw his post about using stickers to create a buzz. It reminded me that small businesses often overlook a relatively cheap and simple way to get free advertising.

In Andy's post he talks about visiting a Chicago street fair where people were walking around with "corn maze" stickers on their shirts. Sure enough, the hundreds of fair-goers who made it through the maze ended up becoming walking bill boards for the attraction.

If you think about it, stickers have been used for a long time to show political allegiance (and the fact that you voted). They're highly visible and get people talking.

So, how can you use this custom sticker idea and tailor it for your own business?

• Hand out stickers at trade shows
• Put some in goody bags at demos
• Hand them out at charity events in which you are a vendor
• Go a step further and make decals that loyal customers can showcase on their cars
• Craft a creative message

Ditch flabby marketing for refined, cost-conscious branding in lean times

Toyota. Harley. WWF. You probably recognize most of these logos. They're sleek and evoke perceptions of a brand well beyond the name of a company.

Disney=family fun. Starbucks=jolt of caffeine. WWF=saving the planet.

While most of these organizations can afford to spend millions on fancy marketing campaigns, we realize you're  trying to stay afloat during less-than-stellar financial times.

The good news? You don't need to be a multinational corporation to have a sleek logo and a smart marketing and branding campaign. Small business owners need to think smarter, not more expensive, while getting more bang for their marketing buck.

Recession-friendly marketing tips:

Logo - Don't have a graphic design department? No problem. Put your design work up for bid with freelancers. Open communication will ensure that the designer sees your vision as clearly as you do. Set clear goals and expectations up front to avoid wasting time.

Marketing Collateral - That can also be outsourced. You can research local printing companies to get the best price or look to larger online outlets.

Tip: When communicating your logo and branding message, remember the details. Label Value prints Custom Labels to your specifications--which means spreading your corporate identity on custom mailings and product shipments throughout the world.

Web site - When strapped for cash, think free first. Where can you publish your message and communicate with customers for free? A blog.  Some blogging platforms (think WordPress) are free at its most basic offering and come with themes for you to choose from. You can upgrade for a fee and use your new-found negotiating ad/or bid system to have a designer custom code your site.

Revamping your corporate image just got easier thanks to Dymo custom labels from Label Value.

Calling all entrepreneurs. Do you have what it takes?

Ever wonder what makes a entrepreneur? We've got the characteristic run down.

Successful entrepreneurs...

• Do what they enjoy - Plain and simple: If you don't get personal satisfaction from what you do on a daily basis, you probably won't succeed.

• Realize that it's all about the customer - A successful business, put simply, begins and ends with your customers. Without them, you wouldn't be in business at all. Great entrepreneurs create customer focused policies, payment options, operating hours and more.

• Know their customers well - This doesn't mean they go out for drinks, but it does mean that they interface with clients on a regular basis and constantly listen to the pulse of their buyers.

• Takes time off - If you plan to work 24/7 you're well on your way to home-based burn-out.

Creating a successful branding plan helps your customers recognize you in a competitive market place.  Take advantage of our Dymo Custom Labels to enhance your company's branding initiative.
