Seeking A Marketing Mentor

[Geedee20122012]

Started my business a while ago and tried to do the marketing on my own to the best of my ability.  My success have been marginal at best.  The marketing budget is tight so I am seeking out a cost effective mentor with a history of positive results.

Hi Geedee,

Marketing is a challenge to many new store owners - what's your niche? Ideally you'd want to get marketing tips from someone who is familiar with the niche and target audience.

Hello and thanks for replying. That was very good advice and my niche is
cat products i.e. litter box, toys, novelty items and cat apparel.

Why not start by searching in Google for the marketing strategy for the cat niche? You can also follow your closest competitors and see where they are linking from [i.e. blog posts, youtube videos, instagram influencers' posts etc.] and see which of the techniques you can copy [if they link from a cat related blog, you can contact the same blog if they'd like to feature your store as well]. Check also their social media profiles to see how they connect with their target audience. That's a great way to start. See also the helpful guides below:
