As we noted in our recent tip, “Cut the Fat with Creativity,” many businesses across different industries are trying to find solutions to today’s unique challenges.
This week, we share some creative ideas on how to grow your business from Small Business Trends’ “Outrageously Creative Tips for Saving Money & Growing Your Business” :
- Make Your Clients Feel Valued: Aidan Rogers, of Ink Ode, says it can be as simple as a quick email to say hello. He also notes that while communication is important, you should “listen more than you talk.” In other words, don’t tell your customers what they need, let them tell you.
- Remember That Markets Are People: Daniel Scocco, of Online Profits, says, “between sales figures, marketing campaigns, spreadsheets and business plans, we often forget what this is all about: humans.” As a jewelry retailer, you often deal with clients in the midst of life-changing milestones, so it’s even more important to remember the person behind every purchase.
- Never Eat Alone: Derek Halpern, of Prevential, builds on Scocco’s advice, noting that “business is about human interaction.” He’s applied that idea into the practice of always having lunch with someone new, whether it’s friends, clients or just plain people.
