Looking for tips to help you gain more exposure for your business?  I could write for weeks about the ideas helping you effectively grow traffic, but let's look at the top 7 tips to help your business succeed. Business branding is simple when you have a smart plan leading you in the right direction.  The following are seven tips to help your struggling small business:

1.  Get online

Use the internet to aide you when you need it the most.  It is very simple to spend just a few minutes on the web each week to profit big time.  The social networks alone can greatly increase the amount of sales and new traffic that you can obtain in your company.  Get a company profile page and begin posting specials and deals on your page and those of your best clients that you know personally.

2. Publications

Utilize any forms of publications that you feel will be beneficial for your new leads.  These can be in the form of a flyer or business promotion card that you can disperse.  Place them on cars, in mailboxes and around other homes in the prime area that you will be working in and that is close by to your organization.

3. Referrals

If you have but even one person that comes into your business regularly, then you have the opportunity to get some referrals.  These are nothing but one client of yours referring you to another person they come into contact with regularly.  It is free advertising and can make the best of your business growth when you need it the most.

4. Promotions in publications

This is simple if you have a local magazine that you know will bring in the attention your business so badly desires.  Use ones that are specific to your company needs and will bode the reader demographic that you are seeking to establish new clientele and gain name exposure.

5. Piggyback Marketing

This is the act of combining your business with someone else's marketing campaign.  For example, if the company that shares an office complex with yours is having a car wash over the weekend or even a large company meeting, meet with them to get your business name out in the open.  This will bring in additional branding, plus get to have gain good relations with those that share your work space.

6. Graphics

A picture can say a thousand words, or so they say.  When someone gives you a business card of theirs, if it is a truly a great graphic or logo on it then odds are you will not only look at it, but you will carefully think about what it is they do for a living just solely based on their card and the graphics that caught your attention.

7. Combining food with business

This would be the art of advertising in places where you know people will glance over your ad no matter what it looks like or what it is selling.  Currently, inside thousands of restaurants globally you will find many ads pasted on tables, napkins, windows, and even inside the restrooms.  Check out the pricing for such, it may be the next big thing in your brand strategy.
