We know running a business isn’t the easiest task and you always have a running list of things to do. Let Deckorators help you with this list of key tools you can use to market yourself, your business and your deck projects.

Website
An up-to-date, mobile-friendly website to communicate your business and show off your work is extremely beneficial in gaining new customers. A website provides another avenue for customers searching online to locate your company.

Your web presence can be one of the first interactions a customer will have with you or your business, so make sure it presents you the way you desire.

Social
Don’t be afraid to tag product brands like Deckorators in your social posts. Companies like seeing their products in use and may even repost your photos or videos. Now you have opened yourself up to a larger audience, which could lead to new business opportunities.

When purchasing products from a company, look to see if they provide a user-friendly app. Product information right at your or your customer’s fingertips can save time, generate rewards and create a long-lasting relationship.

Email
Email marketing is easier than ever to manage and create. Whether you’re using your office program or a more sophisticated platform, email is a great way to connect with your customers, share useful information and generate referral business.

As always, you should always be mindful of email etiquette. You would be surprised to see how often companies send out emails with spelling or grammar errors. Also, be sure to respond in a timely manner and proofread your message before hitting send.

Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. For ideas, inspiration and examples of how you can promote yourself, check out Deckorators® Instagram™, Facebook® and Twitter™ accounts.
