This makes it that much harder to expand your business. How can you increase your visibility and drive new customer growth while staying on budget? We\u2019ll talk through it here with 3 quick and easy tips to grow your business the affordable way.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Larger Email Lists<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>With growth as your ultimate goal, you may have realized it\u2019s not always easy to achieve\u2014especially when finances are tight. One inexpensive way to drive awareness of your business is to grow your email list. Digital marketing is cheap and effective, but you need to have a large bank of contacts to market to. Entice customers to join your email list by offering them a free gift, percentage off a purchase, or any number of incentives that may be of interest. One of our favorite ways to add subscribers is with a website popup. We found some great tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/optinmonster.com\/email-popup-best-practices\/\">optinmonster.com<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>More Customer Referrals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a good base of existing customers, tap into them to bring in new business. Whether you do it via email campaign or in-store, refer-a-friend marketing strategies are a key way to drive sales. Customers are more likely to try a new business if the recommendation is coming from someone they trust, which is why referral campaigns are so popular\u2014and effective. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nielsen.com\/us\/en\/press-releases\/2015\/recommendations-from-friends-remain-most-credible-form-of-advertising\/\">Nielsen<\/a> reported that \u201cEighty-three percent of online respondents in 60 countries say they trust the recommendations of friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Out in the Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You know how local politicians are always hosting meet-and-greets or town halls within their communities? It\u2019s because they want to get to know their constituents, understand the problems facing voters, and create a dialog that puts them top-of-mind during election season. The same can be said for local business owners. It\u2019s critical to get out in your surrounding area and meet your customer base. Hosting community events is an easy, inexpensive way to get your name out there. What about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freelogoservices.com\/blog\/2018\/02\/12\/9-reasons-your-business-should-sponsor-an-event\/\">sponsoring a race<\/a> in your area? This provides ideal exposure for your business, lends credibility to your name, and presents you ample opportunity to meet potential new customers. You\u2019ll also want to consider befriending other local business owners who you can share advice with and learn from.
