Reaching More Leads without a Major Advertising Campaign

Advertising can be one of the most expensive items on any Boston business’s budget. You might be reluctant to cut back on vital expenses such as utilities, wages, and Boston business insurance, but advertising could be an area where you could do so without suffering a corresponding drop in sales. We look at some of the potential ways to reach more leads without expensive advertising.

Use the Internet

The internet is a very cheap way to connect with people. Businesses might want to set up a website (if they haven’t yet), set up social media accounts, and start an email newsletter to send to potential leads. Paid internet advertising can be relatively inexpensive too if you take the time to learn how to do it in a cost effective way.

Get Close and Personal

Giving speeches or holding seminars can be an excellent way to showcase your products or services. These ways of engaging with leads also help put a face to the business. A brown-bag lunch or a free seminar might be a cost-effective way to generate new leads.

Provide Useful Information

It’s been said that we live in the Information Age. Providing useful content and information on your website can prove to be a very inexpensive way to connect with new leads. For example, you might set yourself up as an industry expert. Write articles, create informative videos, or provide leads with a free eBook or guide on pertinent industry topics.

With a range of essential expenses such as rent payments, wages, and Boston business insurance, businesses would probably prefer to spend nothing on advertising if they could. While a zero advertising budget might be unrealistic at times, it could be possible to generate some new leads without spending a fortune.
