4 BUSINESS TIPS FOR YOUR SMALL BUSINESS

There are no limits to becoming a great entrepreneur. Growing your business is however no small feat. You must continue to reinvent yourself and your business. 

Now that you have hit the ground rolling by starting your business, here a few things we think you should always remember.

1.     Go digital

It's 2019 - customers expect to be able to Google your business and find all relevant information with a click. You can’t solely rely on word of mouth or foot traffic to acquire an adequate number of customers. Online platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Google My Business etc, can help promote your business, find leads and find new customers.

Every business should have a strong online presence.

2.     Don’t neglect email marketing.

One of the common misconceptions about marketing your small business is that email traffic and conversions are important. Just because social media has made communication so easy, doesn’t mean your audience do not read. You’d be missing out on a number of potential customers by neglecting email marketing. 

Start collecting those emails please!

3.     Have a brand story.

A business needs to have a story behind it. Stories are how we connect with one another. People crave the emotional and powerful connection to a brand that comes through a story. Your brand story will position you and your business steps ahead of your competition and in the heart of your target audience.

If you don’t know how to create a brand story, start with the why and go from there.

4.     Grow your skills.

As a business owner, you never stop learning. Running a successful business requires a wide variety of skills and expertise. Spend some time growing your expertise in marketing, writing, sales, general management, digital marketing, bookkeeping, etc. to develop a well-rounded entrepreneurial skill set.

Now that you have read through, utilize these strategies and see the difference they will make in your business.

Realize that your work will never be done. You'll constantly be competing for these customers in the marketplace, you can never simply rest on your laurels.

Focus on being better and build that empire you always dreamed about!
