Whether you are a new or seasoned company, promotion and finding the correct avenues to building your brand is KEY! There are some great tools and sites that help you literally build your own buzz with just a 'click of a button'. Really... you just need to add your email addy and press send and you get tips, tools and ways to promote yourself right in your email inbox.
As a small mom-owned business, most of us are the Directors of Marketing and Public Relations as well, but do know there are ways to budget and use other companies to help you get your maximum exposure or atleast exposed to the right audience to promote in ways you may not have thought of.
Here are some of my favorite sites/companies and what they offer us M.O.Mpreneurs:
Retail Minded (www.retailminded.com) "Whether you are just starting out, trying to stay afloat, or simply want to improve what you already have going on, Retail Minded is your source for trusted support when it comes to your retail and wholesale needs." Retail Minded was founded by a mom and can relate to us in so many ways. Nicole is great to deal with and is an expert in her field. Not only does the Retail Minded Blog showcase valuable support & resources, the site itself offers a wide variety of services that we all need. Looking to present Buyer's Packets or Press/Media Kits? Retail Minded can consult, build and complete the process for you. So check out her site for more information and follow on twitter: @retailminded
