Attracting the Media - While one of the most popular forms of marketing is writing a press release, putting out newsworthy information to the media can be costly. However, there are several ways of putting out a release without it costing a bundle. If you have decent writing skills, all it takes is a little bit of your time, energy and a small amount of research and you are on your way. And just in case you have some difficulty creatively writing a press release, you can always find a good writer who wont charge you a fortune.

When it comes to the marketing arena, the bottom line is that although there are no strategies that can assure you of total success, you must do whatever you can to keep your name out there. Marketing your business is one element that is absolutely necessary. You do not have to spend a lot of money on your marketing budget, but you do need to keep your marketing material current. So, if you have something of value to offer, present your product or your service through marketing material that demonstrates your expertise and watch as your business continues to grow.

Networking with Other Companies - Another great way to market your business without going broke is forming a strategic alliance with another company. By way of example, I network with webmasters who create beautiful web sites but they are not writers, so when they need a good writer, they contact me. And because I am not a Webmaster, when a client needs a good web design, I refer them to those webmasters that I believe will do a good job. We need each other because a beautiful web design without the right words wont bring in business, and beautifully written words without a good website will go by the wayside. As an added incentive to this collaboration, I offer a small finders fee for those webmasters that refer me to clients. Now, start being creative in your thinking, as there are many ways to form strong alliances with compatible companies. Just pay attention to those companies that align with your business and then have the courage to write them a professional letter about your services. You will be surprised at the response.

Once you have a press release put together, there are many inexpensive distribution houses on the web that will distribute your release without breaking the bank. One popular distribution company that is not expensive and gets good exposure is 24-7 Press Release. While there are no guarantees that one press release will be enough to put you on the map, the potential for reaching millions of individuals is astounding.

Sales Letters - Whether it is an introductory letter about your company or an out and out sales letters, the simple yet very important letter is always a valuable marketing tool. In addition to writing press releases and articles, the tried and true sales letter is always the one marketing strategy that has staying power. Even if you have to be prudent with your budget, a letter allows you the most freedom to market yourself without spending a lot of money. Once you write it, you can either send it via regular post or via e-mail, but either way, it is still cost effective. Regardless of your product or service, a well-written sales letter can prove to be one of the best marketing tools for the least amount of money.
