Every now and again you get to see the fruits of your marketing actions. Our marketing world today revolves around “Sharing”, which in the digital world is akin to Word of Mouth Marketing. The trick is leveraging other people or businesses to help you spread your marketing message. One way that we have found helpful is Partnership Marketing. The more we do it, the more we love it. It drives results.
Being connected with a Rib Burn Off in the middle of winter under 5,000 square feet of tents set up in the middle of downtown, connected to a hip and cool bar helps get folks to Talk About You. It is a great bet that some of your rental prospects may be hanging around there as well.
Why not reach out and offer to be a Media Partner, which is what we have done. We have started to reach out to as many local events as we can as a Media Partner, through our on line magazine platform, which sports 40,000 page views a month, our Facebook Reach in excess of 10,000 Fans and our 12,000 plus Twitter Followers.
We are currently a Media Partner for nine day Blues Festival in Ferndale, a neighborhood to the South and also Motown Winter Blast coming up in downtown Detroit.
The connections that occur are unbelievable, in addition to also being placed as a Sponsor on the participating web sites and promotional banners, but the biggest piece is having an inside track to the committees and folks hosting things. That all in addition to truck loads of swag to promote on your Facebook Page. As long as the events are in alignment with your Brand, you can hugely leverage these events.
