The Art of Cross Marketing in a Down Economy
Cross-marketing is one of the smartest ways to partner. At its essence, cross marketing is nothing more than joining forces with compatible companies so that everyone involved can more effectively capitalize on each others’ existing client base. It’s the synergistic affect from the pooling of resources to work together towards a common goal that makes cross marketing so effective.
Capitalizing on each others’ existing client base simply means actively finding out about the products and services your clients need and then recommending your cross marketing partners to provide them. This can be done by direct mail campaigns, placing ads on each others’ web sites, putting articles in each others’ newsletters, giving joint teleconferences, offering discounts to each others’ clients, etc.
In a down economy, sales typically go down for items and services businesses consider as expendable. Marketing and advertising seem to be the first two things they stop doing. But how can you stay in the black if you cut back or eliminate marketing and advertising? The answer is you can’t!
Studies show that companies who continue to market and advertise in a down economy are stronger financially when the economy corrects itself. You don’t have to spend a fortune on marketing and advertising. You can cut your costs and grow your company by teaming up with complementary and or non-competitive companies to share marketing costs and referrals.
Instead of buying ad space by yourself, you can partner up two or more companies to share the cost and let your target audience know that you are there for them during these tough economic times. Do you own a small business? You can partner up with companies in your close proximity to give open houses, place small display signs in each others’ check out areas, host networking events, etc.
By cross marketing, you will be able to market and advertise your company for less and add more clients. If your goal is to strategically grow your client base in every metro market in the U.S. and internationally, then you should consider becoming a part of Marketing 2 Women International.

Marketing 2 Women International is conducting a 6 day networking event during National Entrepreneur Week (Feb. 20 – 27) as part of its Cross Marketing Across America Campaign. 20 international women as well as 20 women from each US region have the opportunity to step up to the virtual podium for 3 minutes to showcase their company to not only attract cross marketing partners but new clients as well.

Showcases are limited to the first 20 women per region. Events are 90 minutes each. An international guest speaker will share her insight on how to tap into her metropolitan women in business market.
At the end of the mixer, participants will be sent a slide presentation that includes everyone who participated in the showcase and assigned a cross marketing project. They will also receive a 31 day profile on the Women’s Collaborative Forum so they can make a splash during Women’s History Month. The cost to participate is only $20.
The smartest way to expand your client base into a particular metro area is to collaborate with the business owners who are based there. They understand the economic climate and the best marketing vehicles that will get your message noticed. Register below for Marketing 2 Women International’s National Entrepreneur Week mixer.
