CROSS PROMOTIONS ARE MARKETING SYNERGY

If you can identify the other businesses that service a similar demographic as your business then you've likely found a good candidate for a cross promotion. It's especially easy to set up such promotions if both parties have a similar size audience. A cross promotion occurs when you each agree to send out a promotion supporting the other party's business.
