Utilizing social media to market your DJ services is about as ironclad an approach as you can take to increase sales without costing you a dime.
This very effective strategy is based upon building relationships FIRST before you actively begin promoting your offerings.
Conducting sales through “Relationship Marketing” can help increase sales and boost your bottom-line.
If you are willing to invest time and energy, and have a little patience in cultivating potential clients, there are some significant advantages! Here are some tips to help guide you with your blog, website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.
Your Message
Be clear on the message you want to put out into the world so it is easily understandable. Failure to do so may confuse people and even drive them away, which is the last thing you want.
Intrigue
The content or copy you write must be composed in such a way as to quickly intrigue those who come across it. Deliver informative, thought provoking or otherwise insightful information to make visitors feel they spent their time wisely. By doing so you are developing reader loyalty which can significantly contribute to your marketing success.
Trust
By supplying people with useful information AND without pressuring them in any way, you will build trust, which is a very important component in sales.
Credibility
If you demonstrate a willingness to be helpful while also providing good quality information you can help boost your reputation and credibility online.
Loyalty
The longer you maintain a ‘reader first’ attitude and supply their needs, the deeper their loyalty will be towards you. It is ultimately this loyalty that you will be able to use to increase sales since folks will be more inclined to book you as their DJ entertainer. Being known as both reliable and knowledgeable will help you increase sales since people will have more trust in what you say and promote
The Bottom Line
Relationship marketing is about ‘relating’ to what people need or want. The effectiveness of this sales strategy is dependent upon being able to capture the attention of readers long enough for you to:
- Deliver your intended messages clearly.
- Build trust, credibility and loyalty.
- Offer entertainment services that match peoples wants and needs.
