4 Tips for Marketing to Parents

If you run an online business geared towards kids than you know how difficult it is to grab the attention of their parents. Families are continuously bombarded with advertising on TV, in magazines, and online. So how do you make your product stand out from the rest? How do you capture the attention of the busy parent when there are dozens of competitors trying to do the same thing? The secret to success is knowing what your audience needs and wants.

Follow these 4 tips for marketing to parents:
1. Make Online Purchase Easy
While trying to juggle after-school activities, work, and household chores, busy parents simply don’t have as much time to shop in brick and mortar stores as they used to. For this reason, purchasing goods online and having them shipped directly to the home is not just a luxury but often a necessity. It is important to make their online shopping experience easy and fun and shipping and handling charges affordable.

2. Offer a Solution
What problem does your product solve for the average parent? Answer this question and you can quickly define the message you need to be promoting throughout your marketing campaign. Offering a solution that works is one of the key components to branding success.

3. Add Function and Style
One of the best ways to set your company apart from big box retailers is by offering goods that can’t be found in stores. Many retailers will stick to 2 or 3 options for any given product. Increase your sales by offering lots of style choices or patterns and colors unique to your brand.

4. Increase Your Credibility Through Others
The power of the word of mouth is just as strong online as it is in your local play group. Getting rave reviews from trusted online parent bloggers can be great for developing instant credibility.

When marketing to a specific target group, it is often critical to have the right team in place to develop a strategy that works. A professional firm such as Grand Marketing Solutions can be a great resource to help promote not only the product but also your brand.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
