Promoting my Afternoon Tea delivery company

[CarlyB]

Hi guys any ideas on how and where I can promote my Afternoon Tea delivery company? Budget is an issue! I would like to target other businesses for staff celebrations, business meetings etc but not sure where to start! Thank you

@CarlyBI'm not a marketer and this is something I've learnt along the way on a very tight budget.

First you need to know who you target audience is, whilst you say businesses - which and what area.  Once you know this look at what platforms they use, tag them into twitter posts , or do posts about staff rewards means better business etc.  I've found Andrew and Pete vlogs (which are free) to be really useful for out of the box ideas and to helped me develop a marketing plan.

I've just been on your facebook page and it dit would benefit from more photos of clients enjoying the tea and what you offer, i.e. afternoon tea brought to your door.  What about linking up with a tea distributor so you can cross promote?  Your website is great.  What about targeting baby showers? care homes?

Good luck

Ooh how we all love an afternoon tea! Great idea for those who don’t booze had a look on your Facebook page well done you! Have you considered a marketing mission something simple as your brand image with a short caption like ‘Let them eat cake’ and then your details?sometimes a one off Facebook paid for promotion works well and Twitter is great as well as Instagram then just get your energy out there. Important to create a strong brand image with a simple message. I’m off to Fortnum and Mason for our annual Christmas office party I always prefer to offer afternoon teas. Check out the competition and see what you like about them and what’s lacking. Good luck Carly
