In order to make a substantial impact on your audience with your business, you have to get comfortable with marketing. Finding the right marketing channel for your business will help you to eliminate all unnecessary expenses and marketing operations so that you can attract the type of audience that will keep your business relevant in today's market. There are several factors that come into play when it's time to decide which marketing channel you will use primarily as well as which marketing channels you will use for specific campaigns. Adhere to these guidelines and you'll notice a massive difference in the reception that you will receive from your prospective customers.

-             Audience Size

The size of your target audience plays a major role in determining which marketing channel to use for your business. Smaller audiences tend to benefit more from a niche form of marketing that allows for a more personal and often unique promotional strategy. For instance, you can send direct mail marketing that includes a package or gift for your prospective customers. To use this same method for a bigger audience would be much more time consuming and the start up costs would exceed most marketing budgets.

-             Audience Receptivity

That audience that’s receptive to the marketing channel that you choose depends on the following factors: timing, location, and message. Reaching your prospective customers at a time when they'll be more inclined to listen or read what your promotion is about is key in closing a sale. Direct mail marketing and digital marketing can be sent out at times that allow for the recipient to focus and respond to your message. The location of your message also matters, and you should aim for primary email inboxes or physical mailboxes so that your message is seen directly by the recipient. Your message itself should be clear and well written in order to get the most positive response from your prospective customers.

-             Marketing Budget

One of the most important aspects of choosing your marketing channel for your business is to decide how much you want to invest on any given marketing campaign. There are far more affordable options to market to prospective customers now than there have been in previous years. There are several different marketing channels for both digital and direct mail marketing campaigns. You can also integrate digital and direct mail marketing campaigns to test out what your audience responds to best. You can roll out campaigns in installments on your own in order to offset the major costs that many marketing agencies charge which includes a retainer fee.
