QUESTION on How to Market a Professional Organizer Business
I have just started a professional organizer business. However, I am unsure of how to go about trying to find clients for my professional organizer business. How I can develop a marketing strategy for professional organizer firm?
– Yousef
ANSWER by Yvonne Buchanan
Hello Yousef,
All marketing strategies are essentially the same:
- Determine your target customer.
- Learn where your target customers “shop.”
- Meet them there with a great product or service and a strong message they can’t resist.
To find your target customer, ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have current customers? If so, where did they come from?
- Can you develop a demographic profile of your target customer based on your current client list?
If you don’t yet have clients, find out who is using professional organizers and why: What need to professional organizers fulfill? Meet those needs better than your competitors, and you’re on your way to building a customer base.
I suggest you read the article Starting an Organizing Business: Getting that First Customer. Also check how the founder of the professional organizer business ClusterBusters jumpstarted the business in the article Betsy Fein: Success in the Home Organizing Business.
Good luck, Yousef. Let us know how it goes.
