 To achieve long-term success, specialty retailers have to utilize innovation and creativity when encouraging customers to purchase from their stores over the “big box” retailers. It takes a targeted and successful marketing campaign to convey your brand message and create a loyal customer base. You want people to think of your company first as providing the best quality and service for the product that they seek. It is easy for vendors who sell a wide array of different types of merchandise to attract customers with the allure of convenience. However, it is not easy to specialize when you have so many product lines in your offering. Customers do recognize this difference and will often times pay a higher price to visit a specialty store but have a better chance of finding exactly what they are looking for.

Online businesses can be quite lucrative, often having much lower overhead and higher profits than a storefront business. Unlike a storefront, however, customers won't just be able to walk by and see your online store. A big part of success in selling products online is marketing your site so that people know it's there.

Digital marketing is any method of marketing that uses the internet. Both online and storefront businesses can use digital marketing to grow and sustain their businesses. Some forms of digital marketing include banner ads on websites, Facebook or other social media ads, using your own website for marketing purposes, email newsletters, and marketing through mobile devices (such as with text messages).
