Be sure and catch our epsiodes every tuesday! Until then here are some tips on how to build a better online presence for your business in 2023!

Building a strong brand and online presence is critical for the success of any small business. With the rise of the internet and social media, it has never been easier to reach new customers and promote your business online. In this post, we'll discuss ways to create a memorable brand, set up a website, and leverage social media to reach new customers.

Create a Memorable Brand: A strong brand is the foundation of your business's success. Your brand should reflect your values, mission, and target audience. When building your brand, consider your logo, colors, fonts, and messaging. These elements should be consistent across all platforms, including your website and social media accounts. Additionally, it's important to differentiate yourself from your competition by offering unique products or services and a customer experience that sets you apart.

Set up a Website: A website is a must-have for any small business. Your website serves as a virtual storefront and should be designed to be user-friendly and professional. A website should include your business's contact information, a description of your products or services, and a way for customers to purchase your offerings online. Consider investing in search engine optimization (SEO) to improve your website's visibility on search engines like Google. Any and all marketing, advertising and social media push should be towards this website not a seperate ecommerce platform like Etsy! You can definitely have both (we both do!) but it's a waste of money to drive people to Etsy and not your website where you won't have excess fees.

Leverage Social Media: Be social....online! Social media is a powerful tool for small businesses looking to reach new customers. Choose platforms that your target audience uses most, such as Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest Instagram, or maybe even Twitter. Figure out where your audience hangs out and build a community there. Use social media to promote your products or services, share updates and news, and interact with your followers. You can also use social media to run targeted advertising campaigns to reach a wider audience.

Building a strong brand and online presence is key to the success of any small business in 2023. In person sells are great but they come with a ceiling for most businesses. By creating a memorable brand, setting up a website, and leveraging social media, you can reach new customers and promote your business effectively. Remember to be consistent, be creative but professional, and always strive to offer a memorable customer experience.

How To Start A Business?

Starting a small business can be an exciting and fulfilling experience, but it can also be challenging and complex. To set your business up for success, it is important to understand the basics of starting a small business. This includes conducting market research, creating a business plan, and securing financing.

Market Research: Before you start your business, it is essential to research the market you plan to enter. This involves understanding your target customers, competition, and industry trends. Market research can help you determine if there is a demand for your product or service and if it is profitable. You can use online resources, surveys, and focus groups to gather information and make informed decisions. Ideally choose a market you understand, if you know why they want something you'll better be able to sell a product or service to them versus a competitor that doesn't get the why.

Business Plan: A business plan is a detailed roadmap that outlines your business's goals, strategies, and finances. It serves as a guide to help you stay focused and on track as you grow your business. A business plan includes an executive summary, company description, market analysis, product or service offerings, marketing and sales strategy, and financial projections. A well-crafted business plan can also help you secure financing from investors or lenders. Business plans can feel antiquated at times but when it comes to landing investors, getting funding or licensing for products that require it - it's still standard practice. Even without that a basic business plan is a great way to guide your growth.

Securing Financing: This one is all dependent on you personally. Neither of us liked the idea of going into debt with out business so we started slow and built as we could then reinvested profits into our business to grow quicker. For some however you may need significant funding to get up and running depending on what your business is. Especially anyone needing a brick and motor or high production from the jump. For those that fall in that category, there are various options for financing, including personal savings, loans from friends or family, small business loans, and investment capital. It's important to understand the pros and cons of each financing option and choose the one that is best for your business. You may also need to provide a business plan and financial projections to secure financing.

In conclusion, starting a small business requires careful planning and preparation. By conducting market research, creating a business plan, and securing financing, you can set your business up for success and increase your chances of achieving your goals. It won't be easy but if it's your dream it will be worth it in the end.
