In the past, you might have immediately thought about advertising through TV ads or billboards. However, advertising methods are changing—and what was once the most effective methods really are not working because they are not cost-effective.

3 Tips for Using Digital Marketing Effectively as a Small Business Owner
Because of digital marketing options, small business owners can have just as much exposure online as they would have via television—and it costs a small fraction of the price. This is a huge growth opportunity for small business owners!
Review our quick tips for effective digital marketing, and put your small business on the map.
1. Take a few pictures of your building or create a small video introducing yourself.
Creating an introduction video to put on Facebook is a great way to get your name out there in your local community. Run it as a brand awareness campaign in your target location and put it on your Facebook page. This quick video or photo does not have to be anything too elaborate—and you can do it right from your smartphone.
2. Keep your brand awareness ad fresh by updating it periodically.
Change out the photos or use another video from time to time to refresh your brand awareness advertising. You could even get professional photos and videos done as well.
3. Use a radius of 5 to 10 miles as part of your campaign.
By using a small radius around your business, you are sure to hit people who might drive by your business on a regular basis. In the days of COVID-19, you can bring people to you rather than relying on them to drive by and see your business. With this method, you target virtually everyone in your area for just a few hundred dollars per month.
