Every week, we answer a common question about marketing or business. This week, our question comes from a fan who entered our giveaway contest for a smartwatch. Today, we will answer the following question: “what are some easy ways to market your products?”
There are a thousand different ways to market your products. Every business’s marketing will be a little different. When marketing different products, you’ll naturally need to market in different ways.
First Understand Your Product & Its Appeal
Marketing is like matchmaking. Your job, as a marketer, is to create products that people will like. Then you help customers find your products. The concept is simple, but the execution is difficult.
One of the most critical things you can do to market your products effectively is to completely understand your product and what it can do for the customer. This might sound obvious, but understanding your product means you understand the features, and more importantly, how those features benefit your customers.
Remember: it’s all about your customer! Think of their needs first.
After you understand the appeal of your product, look for places where your target audience will be gathering or media outlets whose content they will be consuming. If you are going to be marketing a product or a service, the best way to market for you might not be a video on TikTok. Think first about what you are trying to accomplish and then evaluate which channels will help you reach your goals.
