Virtual Assistant Advertising
Stopping Advertising to Save Money is like
Stopping the Clock to Save Time
Virtual Assistant advertising is paid communication that attempts to persuade potential customers to
make use of your services. It can be the key to business growth but only when it is done
properly and regularly.
Remember, clients nearly always want to know: "What's in it for me?"
If you
only advertise the features of your services - such as naming the tasks you can do - you might
get a few clients. But, if you can
advertise what benefits your services can bring to clients, your response rate will be much
higher.
Tip: It is extremely important to sketch the benefits when you advertise and
market your services.
Because Virtual Assistant advertising is one of the more expensive legs of your business, don't just
jump in. Plan your advertising and marketing efforts well in advance.
You need not go
overboard to advertise your business effectively - just let the creative juices flow and you will
realise there are numerous places where you can advertise it successfully.
Instead of only advertising in the local news papers, also make use of ...
- Local church publications
- School newsletters
- Bulletin Boards
- Mailings
- Sponsorships
to only name a few examples.
Another excellent way of advertising is to create Z-folders with all the
necessary information about your business.
Leave them in the doctor's consulting rooms,
hospital waiting rooms, hairdressers and dentists. People are always looking for informative
reading whilst waiting.
A message like "Free, please take one" on the stand, will encourage
them to do just that. As with your business card and portfolio, ensure that the quality of the z-folder
is outstanding.
Remember, it don't need to be expensive to be professional.
