A Creative Example of Low Cost Marketing


The following short story is a great example of how thinking “out of the box” can get you new business even in a tough economy.


A savvy restaurant owner knew the value of asking the question, “What other businesses do my customers patronize?


Realizing that competition was fierce in their neighborhood this owner used imagination rather than pure marketing dollars to spread the word of her terrific food. Here was her Guerrilla strategy:

She distributed coupons for two free dinners to all the hairstyling salons within a one mile radius of the restaurant. Of course the stylists checked out the restaurant. Because the food was as fantastic as advertised … the hairstylists talked it up to every one of their customers at the salon! And as you know lots of information is exchanged at a local hairstyling salon or barbershop. News spread fast and her business became the talk of the town!



Creative huh? Ask yourself what other other businesses do your customers patronize and see if you can use this strategy in your business.
