Basic Marketing Skills Will Make
Your Home Business Start Up Flourish
Basic marketing consists of a set of activities used to get your potential customer's attention. The
success of Basic Marketing is not the result of a single strength or one long-lasting innovative activity. Basic
marketing is an on-going activity that never stops for the home business start up owners.
What is the use of having a great product or service if no-one knows about it? That is what basic marketing
does; brings the benefits of your product to the attention of potential clients.
The unifying theme presented in basic marketing is on how to make the marketing decisions in order to determine
which customers to focus on and how to best meet their needs.

It is too easy to think that ‘every one’ is your customer. For a home business start up to be successful, you
need to concentrate on a niche market and the customer that sits within that niche. If your business is health and
fitness and you are targeting the weight loss community; target a niche within that group e.g. ‘pregnant women
wanting to lose weight’.
It really doesn’t matter if you are just starting out in business or you have been running your business for 20+
years, basic marketing is where it all begins and ends. After the basic marketing is done, there isn't much else to
do.

Case Study of Home Business Start Up
Enjoying Basic Marketing Success
To Launch a new business website, I asked business operators to donate prizes. This allowed them
to get new, targeted visitors ‘opt in’ and leave their contact details with the operators so that
they could collect their prizes. Each business operator also had to send a pre-set email to their
existing contact list informing them of the prizes.
As this all took place on the new website, there was a great deal of interest. The website got
to number one on page one of Google; over 50 people left their contact details with the new
website; and sales were made. This was a great basic marketing success.
