Take your Business to Next Step with our Model
Running a small business is undeniably demanding, even more so in the current climate. The confluence of the ongoing pandemic and the escalating cost of living crisis has created one of the most formidable economic landscapes many entrepreneurs have ever faced. Speaking from personal experience as a business owner, having launched my own venture, Little Star Digital Media, a little over 10 years ago, I can attest to the considerable challenges that come with the territory!
In 2023, taking your business to the next step is more important than ever. With the rapidly changing global landscape, businesses need to be agile and adaptable to stay ahead of the competition. Our model can help you do just that.
With all the enthusiasm in the air, let me share my five top tips for achieving small business success, whether you’re embarking on a new venture or aiming to elevate your existing company to new heights.
Create engaging organic content
Today’s audiences want to feel like they’re talking to a friend, not watching an ad. That means they respond well to well-made organic content. Instead of going straight to paid ads, post your marketing content organically on social media to see what gets the most engagement. Then, back the best performers with paid ads and reallocate your budget accordingly. This way, you’re only spending money on content that you know will resonate with your customers.
Innovate, but don’t forget your why
Innovation is essential for small businesses to stay ahead of the curve. But as you test new markets, products, and ways of working, don’t lose sight of your original mission. People want to buy into your business because of what you stand for, not just what you sell. Whatever changes you make, make sure they align with your core values. This will help you build a loyal customer base that keeps coming back for more.
Boost your productivity, not your work hours
As a small business owner, you may feel like you need to work 24/7. But hustle culture can lead to burnout. The key is to be more productive with the time you do spend working. Instead of long to-do lists without timings, try dividing your day into quick ticks (<5 mins), tasks (5-30 mins), and projects (30+ mins). Also, schedule time for admin and personal pursuits. This will help you focus on the things that matter most for your business’s long-term success, while also leaving you time to enjoy life.
Be prepared to raise
Securing financing can be tough for small businesses, especially female-owned ones. But if you’re planning to raise capital, it’s important to be prepared. This means having a deep understanding of your business, a clear vision for the future, and a detailed financial model. When you pitch to investors, be yourself and focus on your passion for your business. And if you get an offer, make sure the investor is right for you. Trust your gut.
Take advantage of help
Getting help as a small business owner isn’t a sign of weakness. In fact, it’s smart, especially in challenging times. Consider taking advantage of government initiatives, digital skills programs, and local small business networks. And if you’re near Birmingham, Manchester, or Edinburgh, check out Meta’s offer of free digital skills training and office space for the winter.
