GUERILLA MARKETING TIP #2
WORKSHOPS
Another fun guerrilla marketing strategy for retailers is hosting in-person events at brick-and-mortar locations. For example, Houston-based lifestyle brand Forth & Nomad teaches customers how to make candles in a workshop with complimentary drinks.
Educational events have become a popular way for retailers to build awareness for their brand and products. During the workshop, customers learn step by step how to make a candle, plus how to mix different scents and create a truly unique candle for the home.
After the workshop, you can browse the shop & or grab a complementary coffee.
Workshops are a great example of guerrilla marketing applied in a simple way. Most people have owned a candle in their day, but Forth & Nomad’s class creates an interactive, educational experience with like-minded candle enthusiasts.
💡 TAKEAWAY: Run online or in-person workshops that teach customers how to use (or create) your products. This builds your reputation as a brand who cares about their products and is knowledgeable about them.
