A big part of marketing is visibility. Your business should be visible to your audience. You can do this by targeting ads to your ideal customers and being active on your social media.

Ice cream shops can be a fixture in your community. A great way to get your ice cream shop in the minds of your audience is to be active in the community. Sponsor a sports team or be a part of your local chamber of commerce. Another thing you can do is to actively be charitable. Look for local causes to support, like a food bank or homeless shelter.

4. Be Human

People don't want to support businesses they don't care about. People want to buy from businesses they can see as people. Making your business human and personal is the best way to show your customers that you care about them. You can do this by posting about your employees on your social media and being personable when they're in your store.

Marketing is a vital part of any ice cream shop. Successfully marketing your ice cream shop is more simple than you think. All you need to do is be visible to your audience, stand out from your competitors, be part of your community, and be consistent with your branding.
