Enji recommends starting with proven strategies that work without requiring a huge budget: word-of-mouth, content marketing, email marketing, and consistent social media. These aren’t just trendy—they’re sustainable, low-cost ways to build awareness, trust, and long-term customer relationships. The key is choosing the right fit for your business—and sticking with it.
4 Smart Strategies That Work for Small Businesses Stop chasing shiny objects and focus on what brings in customers.
Here’s what Enji has learned after working with thousands of small businesses: the ones that succeed aren’t chasing trends—they’re doing the basics consistently and strategically.
Word-of-mouth is still the MVP. Nothing builds trust like a personal recommendation. The key is turning it into a system: ask happy clients to refer you, and consider adding an affiliate or incentive program to keep the momentum going.
Content marketing is Enji’s favorite “do it once, use it everywhere” strategy. A single blog post that answers a common customer question can drive traffic and build trust for months—sometimes years. And it can be repurposed into emails, social posts, or even scripts for video.
Email marketing wins on ROI because you’re talking directly to people who’ve already said “yes” to hearing from you. No algorithms to navigate. No shifting rules. Just consistent, permission-based communication that builds long-term relationships.
And when it comes to social media, less really can be more. Don’t try to be everywhere. Choose the platform where your audience already spends time and show up there with value—not pressure. Enji helps you stay consistent by organizing your strategy, content, and schedule all in one place.
The best part? These strategies don’t require a huge budget—just a system that works.
These are the Enji tools and capabilities that best address this question.
