Shopping Center Promotions
Generally cost-effective, as it gets
your name advertised directly to people who are already in the center. You can
offer the shopping center something to give away as a prize in a competition.
This will certainly raise your profile.
Hints and Tips:
1.
Make
sure you're situated in the busiest part of the center.
2.
Check
that there aren't competitors right next to you.
3- Work with management and other shopkeepers on
ways to help promote your presence.
4. Make it easy for people to buy
(credit card facilities are a must), as
almost every purchase will be impulse.
5. Test and measure.

Create an Industry Newsletter
Why not make your own newsletter
that you send to every person in the industry? Write the articles about your
business, but write them as though the newsletter is genuine. It will
eventually be picked up and read by the right people. And why not include
gossip, pictures, and readers' letters? You then have full reign to advertise
your product wherever you want, and how you want. You can also have mock
editorial content recommending your business. You could even branch out and
sell advertising space to other noncompetitive businesses.
