4. Customer Experience

Even if your customers are not complaining, there is always something that can improve in how they interact with and experience your business. Continuous great experience over time leads to customer loyalty. And loyalty births Word-of-mouth marketing.

5. Sponsorship and Promotion

Sponsoring an event or a show gives positive exposure to your brand. Entertainment shows that usually have large participation and viewership are highly recommended. However, you should also consider an event or show that connects with your brand story or image, appeals to your target customers and has a low probability of backlash. People love freebies and discounts, so running a promotion is one way to get the word out and drive up sales.
