1. Social Post Marketing:
In today’s world, the most effective tool to reach out to your audiences is through digital and social media marketing. And while you won’t have hefty budgets for large-scale out-of-home advertising (OOH), you might find it easier to invest in your online campaigns. We are sure that you have the right team that can manage your digital and social media posts so that you can communicate with the right audience at the right time. And even if you don’t, then you can watch tutorials, seek guidance from experts, and then get started.
2. Target Audience Email Marketing:
Another effective method of reaching out to your targeted audience is through email newsletters. Know that email marketing does not require a lot of money (unless you wish to hire an agency for that) nor does it need some expert-level skills to design the newsletters, etc. You can easily use an online email marketing tool to design the newsletters and you will be good to go.
3. Partnerships with Relevant Businesses Or Having Parallel Audiences
Next up is partnering with local businesses as that can also get you the results that you wish to achieve for your businesses in terms of promoting your services or products. You can reach out to the brand managers/agencies of businesses that resonate with what you are selling, plan a marketing campaign or two and then launch the campaigns online or even offline to see where the partnership will take you. As business partners, the brands can arrange community events, marathons & other local sports events and even workshops to engage with the audiences. Be informed that the success of such partnerships can only be determined if you have set the right objectives to meet your goals.
4. Super Low-Cost Referral Programs:
Another effective low-cost marketing idea for any business is to introduce referral programs. What happens in referral programs is that you can offer discounts to your existing customers who will get new customers on board for your business – making it a win-win situation for both themselves as well as for the businesses.

Building public relations is another way to go about marketing your business if you don’t have a big budget.
