Though you might have good skills in predicting things about people by using tarot cards, mere possession of good skills alone won’t bring you, customers. Businesses and services thrive on marketing and this is why you must actively market your tarot business. If you search for tarot business marketing ideas online, you might come across several bits of information spread across multiple websites. However, there is no one-stop updated source from where you can get all the important marketing ideas. This is why we have made this extensive post covering all the carefully selected tarot business promotion ideas. Let’s start discussing the ideas one by one.
1) Your Website is Your First Marketing Card
The share of people searching for products/services online has overtaken offline searches and this trend will likely go up further. This is why having the presence of your tarot business online is a must and a website is the most vital starting point for online presence. To get the best advantage from your website, you must think more than the design and must assimilate these features too:
a) Use a widget/plugin on your website to allow people to directly book your tarot card reading services. This will cause more bookings for your tarot card reading service.
b) To show your authenticity, show case studies and testimonials on your website as to how your readings have helped people and how accurate they were in resolving problems. You can hide personal details while sharing these case studies.
c) Any awards, media coverage, and similar trust-building factors should get placed on your website.
d) Get a video inserted on your website homepage as videos can depict your tarot card business features much better than text or images.
e) Many sites lose a significant amount of visitors due to delays in site loading time. So check if your website loads fully within 1 to a maximum of 2 seconds and take the corrective measure accordingly.
f) A big chunk of your site visitors will come through mobile devices, so get your website designed in a mobile-responsive manner.
2) Stick Around and Get Found (on Google)
Having your tarot card business website lingering around somewhere in Google search results will not provide you any considerable benefits because the largest chunk of visitors from Google visit only the sites listed on its first page. Once your tarot website gets to the first page, traffic and customers to your business will definitely shoot up. The various set of actions required to push a website to the first page of Google is called search engine optimization or SEO. You can handle SEO factors on your own or can get them taken care of by any SEO service provider agency.
3) Enjoy Double Listing with Google Local Pack
Your website can get a bonus listing on the first page of Google by making your business appear within the Google Local Pack. Getting into this pack means more customers. All you need to become eligible to be showcased in this pack is to create a Google Business Profile (GBP) page. By carrying out optimization on the GBP page, the frequency of your business being displayed here (in the local pack) will increase. Citations, reviews, and many other factors are factored in to determine the placement of a business in this pack. Numerous resources are available online that teach about GBP and its optimization. You can either understand and implement optimization using these resources or can let an SEO agency do all these tasks on your behalf.
4) Take the Marketing Benefits of Press Release Distribution
A press release for your tarot business sent out through any well-connected distribution network can earn you media coverage on big-name sites like Yahoo, Fox news affiliates, etc. Having your tarot business covered on such big sites can help your business reputation considerably. After getting such high-end placements, you can justly use the term “As seen on…” on your website. Further, press releases get published on a few hundred websites (at least), so PR distribution also gives you many new backlinks (for website ranking) and traffic.
5) Start Enriching Your Site to Catch More Traffic/Visitors
If you have a website with just a handful of posts published on it, then the traffic (visitors) that you get to your tarot reading website will also be along similar lines i.e. low. This is why many small businesses and services start increasing the number of posts published on their website so that these new posts can start growing more traffic to the website which will translate to more sales/orders/bookings. You can post 1-2 new posts every week and can see your traffic rising. The more consistent you are with posting new content, the more faster you will see your traffic and customers rising.
6) Start Ad Campaigns on Premium Quality Ad Networks
Making an ad for your tarot business and running them on premium quality ad networks like Google Ads, Bing Ads, and Facebook Ads can drive hundreds of new customers to your business every month. However, whether you will get a positive or negative return on investment from ads will depend upon how skillfully you can manage ads. For new advertisers, it is often good to get familiar with the essentials of ad campaigns because to maintain a steady positive return from ad investment, knowledge of ad campaigns is a must. Having your tarot card business ads managed by a digital advertising agency is the other best option if you are not skilled and equipped to handle paid advertising yourself.
7) Use Social Media to Let More People Notice Your Business
Even if someone takes a random guess, it is easy to predict that at least 50% of adults in your region will be having a profile on social media networks. The huge reach of social media is something that continues to attract many businesses and services, however, only some succeed with it. The key to success with social media marketing of your tarot business (or any other business) is consistency in growing your social audience. It takes a few months of consistent involvement with social media to start gaining a rich harvest from social media in the form of new customers. For growing your tarot business on social media sites, you can do various processes routinely like using trending hashtags, sharing locally relevant posts, joining the city/town specific groups, associating with local successful businesses on social media, etc.
8) Research, Select and Utilize Big Directories
Type keywords similar to “tarot readers in [city/town name]”, “best tarot reader in [city/town]” etc and start noting down the names of all directories like Yelp, Sulekha, Crunchbase, etc. After making a list of such directories, start making accounts on them and post your tarot card business details so that your tarot card business can get additional customers from such sites.
9) Start Growing Your Youtube Channel
There are many people who have built their businesses solely through the sheer potential of the YouTube platform. Youtube being among the top 5 most visited sites in the world not only receives billions of visitors monthly but the videos posted on YouTube also attract traffic from Google search listing of YouTube Videos. For this reason, you must publish videos on your tarot card business on YouTube and this will help you to maximize the marketing potential of your business. These videos when posted on your own social media profiles can get more interaction and can help in even more promotion.

Once you have direct reach to people through emails, you can cross-sell many other services along with announcing new offers related to your tarot card reading services.
11) Ask Out Your Customers to Bring More Clients

Incentivizing referrals can prove to be more successful for growing your tarot card reading business as compared to just asking people to refer your business.
