Use Social Media

Collaborations

Collab with another business or influencer in order to get new eyes on your business. If you choose to collab with another business, choose someone that isn’t your direct competition but is still related to your industry.

Online Directories

List your business on online directories and local listing platforms like Google My Business. This improves your online visibility, especially for local customers, and is usually free.

Customer Referral Program

If you want your customers to refer you to their friends, consider creating a referral program. Discounts or reward points seem to be the most popular method, but feel free to get creative!

I hope this got your wheels turning and you’re excited about all the ways you can market your business on a budget.
