List of small business ideas
| |
| If you are considering setting up in business and you are not sure what to do then how about a list of businesses you could begin - so here is a list of small business ideas:
- An online business selling products using a drop-shipping company - like umbrellas or women's shoes or perhaps perfumes.
- Become a plumber - even during a slow-down plumbers seem to be in demand and can earn significant sums.
- Set up take away business selling pizzas or burgers - in a slow down these types of business always prosper, as people tend not to go to restaurants as much, but will still get a take away with a bottle of wine. You do have the option of setting up a franchise with this line of business, but you have to consider the fact that a per cent of your turnover will be taken by the franchisor. |

Staying in Touch
| |
| We are "entranced" by all of the social media noise and how it's going to be the marketing tool of today and tomorrow. Funny we just thought it was about people talking to people. We like the headlines, 20 percent this, 30 percent that. Reminds us of a note from an Aussie friend -- 20% of the auto accidents there are caused by drunk drivers. That means 80% are caused by sober folks. So he wanted them to get off the roads so drinkers could get home safely.
Rather like our business communications. Not real concerned about people following our Twits (growing up we called it stalking). Wanna tag our social site wall? Have at it! We want to communicate with you and would like you to respond...not the ROW! But that's us |

What is Franchising
| |
| In its most simple definition, a Franchise is a business opportunity that allows the Franchisee (possibly you) to start your business by legally using someone else's (the Franchisor's) expertise, ideas, and processes. In some cases, this means also having the right to use the Franchisor's established name and branding, as well as their already-tested business model. In other cases, this means the right to resell (or distribute) a Franchisor's product. |

How to deal with bargain hunters and price shoppers
| |
| Do you believe that the better your product or service, the more it will sell, and soon the world will beat a path to your door?
Do you ever feel like pulling your hair out trying to convince people that your stuff is superior quality?
Do you ever get so frustrated because no matter how you try to explain, some people are so thick headed, the only difference they can see is the price?
If you answer “yes”, you have a marketing problem. And advertising is not going to be your magic solution. In fact, it will only make your problem worse, and that’s exactly why so many ads don’t work. |
