Nutritional retailers looking for ways to increase revenues might consider events as a means of generating new business.

Following are seven tips that will help professionals in the nutritional industry use events to grow their business.  These marketing tips and others are provided on a daily basis by Nutritionalmarketing through its Web site nutritionalmarketing.com, a site that provides free marketing information just for nutritional retailers.

Tip Number 1 – Hold drawings to increase traffic in your store and generate names for your database.  It takes eight impressions before someone remembers seeing your message.  This is an easy way to make more impressions.

Tip Number 2 – Hold an open house.  This is a great way to encourage customers to drop by the store.

Tip Number 3 – Conduct a phone-in contest.  This is another way to encourage people to contact you.

Tip Number 4 – Arrange public speaking engagements for yourself.  This gets you out in the market and establishes you as an expert in your field. 

Tip Number 5 – Conduct a seminar on a timely subject for customers and prospects.  They can learn from you, and you may generate more business.

Tip Number 6 – Hold a contest every Monday just for fun.  The winner gets a prize.

Tip Number 7 – Wear costumes during the holidays.  Those who get in the holiday spirit just might drop by.  Those visits could lead to new opportunities for you.
