Are you relocating your business? If you're unsure where to start, develop a marketing relocation strategy. It's not just about the new office and the new address, it's about showcasing your business.
3. YOU HAVE A MILLION
QUESTIONS
How do I retain customers?
How do I promote the move?
How do I update my online listings?
I’m not sure if I even have online listings.
Do I have the budget to pull off a marketing
strategy?
5. DEVELOP A
RELOCATION
MARKETING STRATEGY
What outlets are you going to update? What’s
your main priority?
Make a calendar. When will you send an
email? When will you plan a party?
Get your employees involved and spread the
responsibility.
7. CREATE A DIRECT MAIL
PIECE
Be innovative. Be creative.
It’s not just about relocating, it’s about
unveiling your business.
It doesn’t need to be too fancy. A clever
postcard does the job.
9. PLAN A GRAND
OPENING
Host a grand opening at the new office.
Free food + Free giveaways = Happy
clients/customers
Use this opportunity to have fun, show off
your new furniture, and most importantly,
show appreciation to your customers.

YOUR WEBSITE

about the move.
Take pictures. Lot’s of them.

in a new site.

heard of before, so start with Google Places,
Yellow Pages, and Yelp.

updating online outlets.
