It doesn’t matter what you sell or what kind of business you run; you’re going to have a lot of competition.
You’ll know yourself that it’s easier than ever to start a business (although still a challenge to run one successfully), and if you decided it was the right thing to do, many others would have felt the same.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to find that you have more competition than you might have originally expected.
This can be disheartening if you want your business to stand out and are having trouble due to your competitors, but there are some great ways to ensure your customers remember you and come back to you, no matter how much competition there might be.
Read on to find out what you can do to make your customers remember you and stand out even if there is a lot of competition.

Host Events And Workshops
One thing you can do that your competitors may not think of is to host events and workshops. When you do this, you can create a fantastic memorable experience that revolves around your business and brand.
The important factor is that you need to offer not just the experience but something of value as well.
The customers who attend your events should gain a better understanding of your business, and how you can help them, and if you provide food and drink and use small business music streaming services to create the right atmosphere, it will certainly be an event to remember.
Some things you can do include:
- Product launches.
- Expert talks and demonstrations.
- Networking events.
- Seminars.
You can showcase your products and service and make connections with new and existing customers, ensuring you are remembered.
Follow Up
Following up with your customers after they buy something from you can help to create a memorable business.
For the customer, if you check in with them after they have bought something from you, it will show them you care about your business and want to make sure they have bought something that works for them.
Offer help and advice about how to use whatever it was they bought, or suggest some items that others have bought at the same time as the item they bought, and you might even gain an additional sale.
Even if the customer doesn’t spend any more money right away, they will have a positive feeling about your business and how you look after your customers, and they are going to remember you and buy from you in the future.
Partner With Influencers
If you can find an influencer to partner with, you can definitely become a memorable business.
You’ll be shown to a lot of new people and if you ensure that the influencer you choose to work with definitely aligns with your own values, you’ll be able to have a good partnership that could go on for many years if you choose.
Influencers are hugely important in marketing and so it can be difficult to find someone to work with, especially as a small business.
It’s a good idea to research exactly who you want to connect with and contact them when you have all the information they are going to need and a unique pitch to help them notice you and choose to work with you.
Don’t rush this if you want to find a great influencer to work with.
