Build a website
Linktree, Milkshake, and BioSite are a few websites where you can create your own link that people can click on to see what you’re about and check out your products or services. QR Codes, Enhanced Analytics, Commerce Links are able as well as NFTs.
Social Media
The old school way of business can work, however, having an online presence works ten times faster because of the vast amount of people to be reached and the short amount of time it takes to reach those people. Here are some great platforms to utilize:
- Linktree
- TikTok
Please note, the higher quality the content, the better your company will produce. It is simple attraction marketing and appealing to what your audience wants to see.
Hire a Marketing Manager
Having a second opinion for your business can only benefit your growth. Reach out to marketing companies who understand the value your company brings and assist in scaling the sales and returning customers. A few suggested companies:
- Publicis Worldwide
- Mediacom
- The Bureau of Small Projects
- Power Digital Marketing

Events
Hosting an event is easier said than done but definitely doable. There are several types of events that could promote your product or services. While hosting your own event, you could collaborate by having other companies join and bring their own customers which leads to more exposure for your business.
Seek out festivals or other types of events to share your business at. This will also build your customers and provide more exposure.
Referral Program
Set up a referral program for your returning customers to bring their friends and family to your business. Also offering giveaways on social media or discount codes provides more exposure and will keep the customers coming back.
Business Cards
While almost everything is now online, it does not hurt to have professional business cards to show when you meet people in person. Physical cards are now vintage and unique, and still quite prevalent in the world of business.
