03 Oct Marketing Businesses for Sale
The following comes from Clyth MacLeod and offers a great example of marketing businesses through a variety of mediums…and even using the fact that a variety of mediums are used to market their services. The ads at the end highlight what buyers are looking for. One benefit of the cost of newspaper advertising is that it forced brokers to think about how to hook the readers in 3 short lines or less. A good practice in any marketing as readers who are not hooked by the first line often won’t continue reading.
If you are buying a business you will want a choice of opportunities.
If you are selling a business you will want your to have the widest exposure so as to attract the best buyer.
Our marketing aims to satisfy both buyers and sellers with a multi-pronged strategy.
Print advertising – while newspaper advertising is bringing in less and less response, ethnic newspapers are powerful with immigrant buyers fueling the SME business sales market. Some specialist and industry magazines can be effective too.
Internet – we are featuring all our listings on 8 business sales internet sites in New Zealand and overseas. These allow us to include colour photos and profiles when appropriate for some businesses… and are compatible with confidentiality.
Direct mail / email – we send out over 10,000 newsletters monthly to qualified buyers and professional advisors plus email alerts on selected business opportunities.
Database marketing – we have extensive databases helping us communicate with potential sellers.
Professional team – with over 20 licensed salespeople, 50 years experience, and specialising only in business sales our team produces great results for both buyers and sellers.
Best of all, our marketing is free to business sellers. We do not expect them to pay for advertising.
