Hey new business owner!

Congrats on starting your business. 🎉 If you’re overwhelmed with how to start marketing your business and don’t have a lot of money to spend, I’ve got you!

1️⃣ Claim Your Google Business Listing

When people search for your business or what you do, like “photography,” an information box will appear with your business’ contact info.

Along with making it easy for customers to find you, your website, etc., a Google Business listing boosts your search engine optimization (SEO), meaning you’re more likely to appear in Google searches.

You don’t need a website or business location to do it.

2️⃣ Create a Facebook Event

Facebook promotes events more than any other post type. Create an event for your grand opening, open house, or launch day.

3️⃣ Submit a Press Release to Your Local Newspaper

Yes, people still read newspapers and a press release is an effective way to get your business in front of a local audience.

What’s a press release?

It’s an article written by you and submitted to your local newspaper.

Be sure to include what you offer, where, why you started your business, etc. Bonus points if you share the date of your grand opening event.
