Common marketing techniques for small business

Re: Common marketing techniques for small business

Many small business owners find internet marketing more affordable. Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing are two popular options of getting small business products or services in front of motivated Web searchers. Advertising on niche sites can also be effective, but with the long tail of the internet, it can be time intensive to advertise on enough sites to garner an effective reach.

Easiest and the most fundamental marketing tool for any business is Business cards. Business cards are inexpensive, yet indispensable, tools in introducing yourself (you company) and what you do to prospective clients and other invaluable business connections. They serve as mini-resumes that can be dispensed to anyone, anywhere at anytime. furthermore business cards provide following benefits

Ice Breakers - act of self-promotion that is neither aggressive nor attached to any obligations
Revelation - about what you'r selling
Contacts - your contact info
Website - you website address
First Impression - of your company
Networking - recipients sometimes pass them on to additional prospects
