A key way of growing your small business is through marketing.
In other blogs, we have touched on what strategies can be implemented in your business and what tools are at your disposal.
Today we are going to look at what marketing support is there for you as a small business.
As sometimes it can feel like you're swimming against the current and that when you're looking for support, to market your small business there isn't any. However, that couldn't be further from the case.
So let's look at what marketing support is there on hand for you and your business and how it can help your business grow.
It's important to note that these aren't all of the support tools that are out there. What we have done is taken some of the most popular tools to introduce to you so that you can decide for yourself which ones may be of use to your business and your marketing strategy.
So below you'll find a list of some of the most popular marketing support tools...
Understand your customer behaviour
Analytics - this is a great way to not only understand the behaviour of your consumers but also your website. It allows you to break down the customer journey and gain valuable insights. If you don't have analytics set up you're missing out on a treasure trove of both information and data. You aren't able to see the reason why customers are and aren't buying from you. From what pages they're bouncing off the most.
understanding the customer journey can't be done throughly without analytics

Understand how well your email marketing is doing - email marketing is an incredibly powerful way of marketing your business, promotions, services and products. Despite in the introduction of other ways of marketing such as paid ad's and social media, the art of email marketing has stood the test of the time and is still one of the most powerful ways to market your business.
There are free support tools such as Mailchimp that allow you to keep an eye on how your campaign has performed including how many emails were opened and in what time frame.
It is also very important what financial support tools you will use in your business to take payments from customers.
There are a multitude of payment providers online, like Stripe, Paypal and numerous others.
I personally use Pockit for all of my online transactions as it provides a buffer between my bank and the internet.
The big benefit is that I don't have to provide my bank details for any online payments.
