Online Videos

Start by finding a group of customers that is accepting of your brand. The viral videos should be short, informative and show a great sense of humor. Making the customers laugh is important to create great brand recall. This in turn will result to spreading of the video thus the term viral. It needs to be spread.

Newsletters

This kind of literature is very descriptive. If they are artistically designed for mass appeal, they can be great for pitching new campaigns. The goal is to inform and interact with customers. This can be done by formulating appealing tips about customers’ daily activities in newsletter distribution.

These newsletters can be communicated through emails or snail mails. Make sure to build up a good direct mailer campaign for this literature.

Contests

Pitch a contest in which customers register or compete to get a prize. You can easily collect quite a number of customers this way. A contest is easily implemented since it can be done locally or online if you want a wider reach. Just come up with an attractive prize package. You can do this from your own resource or you can always partner with a sponsor.

Promotional Items

Focus on the target customers. Know what their interests are and the best medium for your brand to reach them. This will guide you in your note cards, thank you cards, brochures, flyers and other print material campaigns. Think of great freebies that you can attach these literatures for better brand recall. For example, you can include in your note card or thank you card a free spa service on the customer’s 5th visit to the salon. Or you can offer free trial for new products that you are just introducing.
