Smart Marketing. Let Others Get YOUR Name Out There

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Ward County Notary Services 607851

A strong market presence often includes many different ways to get your name out in the public eye. My hats off to all the Mom and Pop businesses that find ingenues ways to get their business name noticed.

Such an example of shear genies is right next door to my and my sons shop.

Olivers AtticI had already cropped this picture before I thought about posting about it but I hope you get the idea. Behind Carol is a great window sign for Oliver's Attic, a boutique shop for the ladies. By putting a photo opportunity in front of the window everyone who takes a picture gets the sign in their photo. The brightly painted bike grabs attention all on it's own but how brilliant of the owner to invite people (yes there is actually a sign encouraging you to have your picture taken here) to have their picture taken right in front of the sign advertising the owners store.

Good morning Bob "RealMan" Timm - now that is really a very creative idea.  That store will become a reference point that no one forgets.

The operators of this store have built a solid base using many unique marketing methods. Dispite that customers must climb many stairs (no elevator) their popularity continues to grow by offering unique product. The also have a neat second story deck/patio that they rent out for events like bridal showers. It's even a fun place for men to go see Grant Schneider

I thought it was cool too Myrl Jeffcoat and easy to do as well. The downtown area if full of planters with this flower, and this color so it fits in beautifully.

Thank you Ron and Alexandra Seigel . Carol (like you) is pretty photogetic. BTW I posted this last week with the "Post at a later date" feature. It should have come up days ago... it took me a while to find it again and get it to post. I won't do that again .

Smart marketing does lead to success for sure Endre Barath, Jr. . I wonder how many people have left their masks on for this photo opportunity ?
