How will i promote myself?
-4P’s PROMOTION
There are for me two obvious and simple ways to advertise and promote myself as a professional designer,
firstly to create a website as a form of giving contact details and showing my work as an online portfolio. Secondly to get business cards printed again giving possibly clients my contact information.
Looking further into the promotion of me as a product, referring to the marketing communication mix what else is there i can do?
Personal Selling, public relations and promotions are areas of the ‘mix’ that i feel dont really apply to me as a graphic designer. I think the most powerful segment of the mix is definitely the internet. As i said before the main thing would be to create a website, being an online portfolio and also clearly stating my contact information. There are more things i can use the internet for however, firstly, social networks, Creating a facebook page for me as a designer, stating again my contact info and abilities and skills etc. and an important aspect of the facebook page being a link to my website.
Furthermore another thing the internet allows is for me to create a blog as a way of documenting not only my work but also my design process. This being found within google searches which is used by possible clients. This actually happening to me earlier this year, so it does work!
