There’s so much that goes into creating a successful small business marketing campaign. Branding, content marketing and social media all play important roles in this area. So you need to come up with the mix best for you.
But members of the online small business community can still offer valuable insights to help you shape your own unique plan. Here are some of their top tips for promoting your small business with content marketing, social media and branding.
Learn the Importance of Consistent Branding
If you want customers to remember your business, you need to create a brand identity that’s consistent across platforms and messages. Consistency is a main tenant of branding, but it’s still something some entrepreneurs overlook. Learn why it’s so important in a recent PMA Web Services post by Peggy Murrah.

But there are many things you can consider to make a good decision, as Sam Hollingsworth discusses in a recent Search Engine Journal post.

Branding is now essential for the success of any business. You cannot sell if your customers don’t remember you. That’s just how it is.
Millenials are a fickle generation to market to. Most do not like being sold to, directly. They rather go find their own solutions. Also, as the entirely digital native generation, they ignore or resent offers that are not personalised and relevant to them. Consistent branding and social presence are something that any business wishing to market to Millenials should be doing.
Personally, I disagree with the messenger bot, but I can accept some automation is needed.
Hi Annie,
Great article here. Many people forget that consistency is key in blogging and branding. You can feel that there are different people managing different things when you check how they do in social media. They need to understand that, although the platforms are different and should be managed differently, the brand’s identity should be consistent in all the platforms.
Thank you for this great post.
Creativity of a writer is purely impressive. Blogging is a pleasurable thing to do. Engaging content can mean many things. It for the most part implies content that is useful for your life and your business. As to be beneficial for them it must contain their interests, else it won’t attract them.
