The marketing vehicles for your brand

The best way to choose the communications vehicle is the one you're comfortable implementing and that will reach your intended audience. It really never matters if something has worked wonders for a different brand. Your marketing vehicle is decided by you alone. If you use something you are not comfortable with, you will not use them often enough to keep your brand top of mind.

Another aspect that business owners often overlook, is to think about how to maximize those brand communications activities that you currently use. If you are making a presentation in a conference, how can you use social media to publicize that event, get feedback on the content your audience would like to hear, and use that content in an enduring way after the live event (like video clips). or on the other hand, you just end up being almost everywhere, deliver your speech, hand out a few business cards, and cross your fingers that it turns into something. However, you have to decide what would actually work for your brand and not in general.

Apart from this, listed here are the other marketing vehicles you can use.

• Public relations and publicity 
• Trade shows  
• Phone directories   
• Online (your website, blog, social media such as Twitter and Facebook, advertising)  
• Broadcast media (television, radio)  
• Print media (newspapers, magazines, specialty publications)  
• Print displays and direct mail (brochures, fliers, signage)  
• Professional assistance (consultants, designers, and agencies)
