Small Pond Talks Advertising with New Chamber Members

On March 31st, we were honored to host the new member reception for the Southeast Volusia Chamber of Commerce. We were excited to welcome these new business to the Chamber.

At the reception I talked about one of the major reasons why many small businesses don’t succeed – they fail to market their businesses.

I’m sure you are familiar with Coke and Mc Donald’s. Yet despite their excellent very well-known brand identities, they still spend significant amounts of their annual budgets on marketing their core message each and every day. Now while a typical small business may never have the size budget that those bigger players do, it doesn’t mean they can be effective with their marketing budget.

At Small Pond Advertising we offer a range of media that helps connect buyers ready to buy with sellers, like your company. Media includes but is not limited to:

  • Print and online Yellow Pages
  • High quality stand-alone coupon books
  • Coupons on the back of register receipts at stores such as Family Dollar, Dollar General, and Sav-A-Lot grocery stores
  • Mobile text marketing
  • Online optimization and Push Marketing programs

In my next post I will talk about the 5 major considerations every small business should have on ANY advertising program (including ours) which I covered with the new members that night.

The weather was great and so was the turnout.  We handed out over 1600 New Smyrna Beach coupon books and advertiser inserts at this one day event held Saturday on Canal Street in lovely downtown New Smyrna Beach.

NSB Home Show 2015 We had numerous chances to introduce people to our new mobile Yellow Pages where no app has to be downloaded if you access www.SmallPondYP.com from your mobile phone.  We also showed people how you can Find It Fast when looking for local small businesses in the area in the Small Pond Yellow Pages no mater what format you prefer — print, online, or mobile.

The new print directories should be arriving in about two weeks.
