As far as go-to-market strategy for startups is concerned innovative marketing is key.
On the one hand, a startup needs massive exposure in a relatively short timeframe. There is just no time for any long-term approach. On the other hand – unless you manage a well-funded venture-backed startup with a decent marketing budget – startups typically have limited resources. These parameters require very effective but low-cost marketing strategies that differ from traditional marketing with regular content.
The solution: Gain massive exposure by getting featured in the media on well-known news sites. Getting featured on major news sites like NBC & CBS News and hundreds of other big brands will make your startup more visible in specific markets and geos and attract the people looking for your services and products. These established brands have high authority and Google values them over regular content. High-status exposure positions your startup as the number one choice in your market and enables you to announce any newsworthy content, startups tend to have a lot of. Such startup announcements combined with massive visibility help you spread the message at a large scale and boost your business’ reputation resulting in more customers buying your products and services.
