Best Ways To Market Your Whale Tour Business

By Jill Tsai


One of the most important things in running your own whale watching tour boat business is to stay focused. If you started your own business, you likely did so because you wanted to do something you love. If you feel that your drive and motivation is running out, you may start hating what you are doing. Here are a few ways to show you how to recharge and get back in the swing of things.

As a whale watching tour boat business owner, you must know how to cut down on your major costs, like healthcare and payroll expenses. You may want to look into hiring an independent contractor, as they can be a good way to save money.

Print a scratch-off coupon on the back of every whale watching tour boat business card. Scratch-off stickers can be purchased in a website from paper supply stores. Offer discounts on any card, to encourage clients to hold on to it.

Supporting an event in your local community is a good way to use the money you have stowed away for marketing. Use a local event listing to find the right occasion to sponsor.

Have you ever heard about Pinterest? If not go ahead and join it to promote your whale watching tour boat business by pinning photographs and all the interesting stuff available in your tour boat company. This will boost up company sales in no time.

Telemarketing doesn't sound like the best way to get more customers for your whale watching tour boat business, but the process does work. Have your phone reps discuss the products you have available. Never push people to buy something, have them wanting to buy something instead.

You owe it to the tour boat company to keep its reputation safe by always maintaining high levels of integrity and honesty in your work. Customers take this aspect of a company's dealings very seriously and any hint of deception may spell doom for the hard- earned good name. Also each member of the company must be tuned to this ethos.

A quality sign is important for your whale watching tour boat business, so do not be afraid to invest in one. Signs that are good will get the attention of customers that may not have even glanced your way. The sign should match up with your business and be clear and visible.

Sign up for discussion-based listservs in your industry. Not only will you brush up on industry knowledge, but can also advertise your brand by asking a question of your own. Verify your email signature is included in any emails to the group.

A great way to fill your large office needs is to check for auctions. May times when whale watching tour boat businesses go bankrupt, they are forced to sell their assets at an auction. You can get furniture, equipment, computers and more. Check with auction houses to find out dates, times, and when you can preview the stuff.
