You are likely looking toward a brighter and more profitable future if you are moving your business. Because they don’t know where your new location will be, you don’t want to lose any current or potential customers. Today, we at Good Time Moving & Storage would like to share a few of the most effective ways to let the public know your business will be relocating.
How Do You Tell Customers You are Moving?
1) On Social Media, Post Multiple Announcements about Your Move. One of the most effective marketing tools available to businesses right now is social media. Several weeks or even months ahead of time, begin posting about your upcoming move. With information about where your new location will be, when you’ll be opening, and what your daily hours will be, it’s essential to create eye-catching, professional, informative posts. To make sure your customers are well aware, post about the move numerous times.
2) Physical and Virtual Mail Should be Sent Out. The time to put your mailing list to work is now. To all of your existing customers and business contacts informing them of your move, send out postcards for starters. Direct mail can’t be accidentally deleted or sent to spam folders, though it is essential to send an email newsletter.
3) VIP Clients Should be Contacted Directly. You may have several clients that have been with your business for the long haul or have truly been an asset to your business. Before you send out any public moving announcements, it is important to contact these customers directly. These customers know you value their business and would like to continue working with them with early and personal notification about your move.
4) Your Website Needs to be Updated. Ensuring your website is up-to-date and operating optimally is critical. Create a banner for your site displaying your new address and moving date for starters. On your business’s Facebook page, Instagram, blog, and any other online outlets you utilize, use this same banner. For at least six months after your move, the banners should remain in place.
5) Maintain Positivity. With a positive tone, always advertise your move. Even if the move was not desired or not expected, this is essential. Concerning any upgrades, you’ll be making, new services you’ll be offering, or special promotions taking place before or after the move is complete, let your customers know.
What to Write on a Moving Announcement
To ensure you cover all the bases, the physical and virtual announcements about your move is important. In order to include in your announcement letters, the following are essential pieces of information:
– A small map of the location along with your new business address.
– Even if they’ll remain the same, include your hours of operation and phone number.
– A brief statement of you appreciating of their business.
– Positive reasons explaining the move.
– In case clients have questions about the move, list a direct contact information.
– Website and email addresses
– A note that at the new location you look forward to working with these clients or business partners.
