3 Quick Tips For Marketing A Business On A Tight Budget

Looking for small business marketing strategies for bootstrappers? Marketing a business on a tight budget is certainly a challenge. In fact, there is very little useful information to be found on the subject.

I should know. As a Certified Start Up Business Consultant specializing in cost reduction strategies, I conduct exhaustive research on a daily basis to uncover the best free and low cost products and services available to start ups.   As a new small business owner, you simply can not afford to waste a single penny, by overspending on small business marketing strategies that just don't work.  

Free Doesn't Mean Ineffective

Although I tout the benefits of absolutely free strategies for marketing a business, that doesn't mean that these small business marketing tactics are ineffective. The savvy start up bootstrapper understands the benefits of free and low cost proven methods, versus expensive and unjustified expenditures. 

Case in Point
About 7 months ago, I spoke with a client that was spending a ton of money on paid search marketing. After reviewing their expenses, I realized that the company was spending over $1200 a month in pay-per-click ads, as well as search marketing management. After a quick review of the keywords that they were paying for, I made the suggestion that this small company totally revamp their website by optimizing it for similar keywords -- using mostly free and organic search engine optimization measures. Today, my client is ranking on the first page in the Google search results for their two main keywords.

You see, taking advantage of free small business marketing measures is not only smart, but it can also greatly reduce your initial start up costs and ongoing operating expenses. This translates into increased cash flow and greater profitability.
