Have you ever thought about using celebrities in your business?  You might think it\u2019s too expensive for you to use celebrities or that you can\u2019t afford it.  It can be expensive, if you\u2019re looking to use names like George Foreman, Kathy Ireland or Barbara Corcoran.<\/p>\n<p>You might be your own celebrity.  My guess is, in your local area, there are celebrities.  There are people who are local celebrities that you could use to boost your local business.  Maybe it\u2019s a retired softball, football or basketball coach from a high school or a college.  Maybe it\u2019s a newscaster who\u2019s retired, or an author that lives in your town or a town close to you.  Maybe it\u2019s the current weather forecaster, a news anchor or politician that the local people love.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to pay ten, twenty or thirty thousand dollars to get a big, nationally known celebrity.  It could simply be a local person.  Athletes and coaches will often do this at a low cost to you.  Think about how you can use celebrities to increase the numbers you put in seats for your events, to get people more involved in your business or for holiday promotions.<\/p>\n<p>If you go to events, where there are celebrities, and you get photos taken with them, you can use those photos in your marketing, on your website, and on your social media sites.  It gives you a certain wow effect.  It gives you the effect of \u201cWow!  How does she know Barbara Corcoran?\u201d  \u201cHow does he know George Foreman?\u201d  \u201cHow did she get her picture taken with Ivanka Trump?\u201d  It\u2019s because you\u2019ve gone to events where they\u2019ve been and had an opportunity to get your photo taken with them.  It gives you the status that you know these people.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s another way to use celebrity in your marketing without necessarily paying big bucks to get them to come and be at your event or to do something specifically with you.  Think about how you can use celebrity.  How can you use little things whether it\u2019s locally or nationally to increase your image to pull people in?  Even if you use celebrity just to get their attention, if it\u2019s something they\u2019re interested in, they\u2019re going to stay.<\/p>\n<p>There are so many ways to use celebrity in your business.  A little imagination and some great photos can take you a long way.  And, you should consider having celebrities participate in your events and things like that \u2013 if it makes sense in your business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a celebrity?
