“Advertising is the soul of business.” This expression exists for a reason because a company that is not known does not sell. That’s why we have prepared an article with tips for promoting your ice factory – these are the secrets that every good entrepreneur needs to know! Check it out!”
Marketing is a very broad field that involves various strategies for good communication and promotion of businesses. In this sense, one of the most basic concepts – and essential for any ice maker – is the “4 Ps”, which refer to product, price, place, and promotion.
Don’t worry, we’ll explain each item and how to use them in favor of your ice factory.
A simple way to explain what the product is, is to define it as what is made available to the consumer, in this case, ice. This consumer can be both an end customer and other businesses, depending on your line of business.
For your business to succeed, the product must stand out from the competition. Therefore, your ice needs to always be the best, with better quality, the types that meet your customer’s needs, with a pleasant packaging and, of course, that doesn’t interfere with the taste and texture of food or drinks – that’s why it’s so important to have equipment that does not use salt in ice production.
The next “P” refers to price, which is the cost of purchasing the product. Defining this item is essential for the evolution of your business, so try to use competitive and fair values in the market – but don’t forget that they should be sufficient for you to make a profit.
In this regard, our tip is: use Calabria equipment to produce your ice! Why? Simple: our machines are designed to optimize your results, so they have low energy consumption! In addition, they have a special function for water reuse, avoiding waste and reducing the cost of the final ice.
Marketing Mix: How to promote your ice factory
The first “P” in marketing mix refers to the product you offer, in this case, ice. It is essential to have a quality product that meets the needs of your customers. Therefore, invest in equipment that guarantees the production of clean and hygienic ice, without contaminants.
Now let’s talk more about promotion itself (which is also related to the previous “Ps”). Place refers to where your product is advertised, so it is essential to know where your customer is.
To promote your factory and sell more ice, think strategically about the channels and points of sale for your product. To do this, you need to run many tests and thoroughly study your customer’s behavior.
Now we have reached the most important stage: promoting your ice factory! The last “P” refers to promotion, which is a set of actions developed to propagate your business and advertise what it offers.
