As we all know business has been very hard over the last 18 months, most of us in the business world have been "ducking and diving" thinking what's the next issue.
So these are a few ideas that we are going to do over next few months to try to generate new business and to help us trade to the future for our family and staff. My motto is "help people and people my help you".
The first thing that we are doing is ask our customers for testimonials, this is not me being "cocky" but we know that we are great and offer a great service but if we get testimonials from customers that endorses what we do.
Next thing we are going to do is to work on a new referral scheme, as the best form of marketing/ advertising is word of mouth.
Another idea is to take our blogging to another level by using the audioboo and youtube. This should reach a great audience.
The next idea is a little hush-hush as it will be a charity fund raising event, costing us nothing but raising money for charity and most of all great PR and good will. A true "win-win" situation. Watch this space, it will be messy!!!!
An idea that we are thinking of but will need to get a few partners on board is to do an advice event to help people starting up in business. This is a way of getting in at the early stages of someone planning to start a business and increasing our business exposure. This is so important in the light of the changes happening to Business Link. If you offer services to businesses based near us and would like to get involved please get in contact.
These are just a few ideas that we are working on to help us to trade our business to the future for our family and staff but if you have ideas that work, please add comments to this blog.
