Your shop may be the best place to get your watch serviced or buy a vintage Rolex, but unless the customer walks past your shop there’s only one way to let them know: advertising. Maybe you are already doing it and you don’t like the results. Maybe you’re too proud to brag about your business. Whatever your reasons, advertising is a must and there are ways to do it proficiently using online platforms Start by personalizing your advertisement. Catch attention by creatively showcasing your business. Make your advertising relevant to your customers.  Determine the message you want to send about your watch business. What do you wish to showcase about your business? Your exceptional customer service? Your relationship with luxury watch brands? Once you know the message, what’s your goal for when you send it out there? A marketing firm can help you clarify these goals for you. Be wise in selecting who you want to represent your business.  Now that you have your message, your marketing team and your goals in place, ask yourself how do you want to present your business to the world?

Social media is an inexpensive way to engage your customers. It can be fun, too. Whatever your feelings about Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, your business must be present on social media. You have to interact with prospective customers in a positive way.
