2015 is the year your business will boom! Making the decision to grow your company takes courage, resources and the belief that with smart planning and persistence, all things are possible. If you’ve been toying with the thought of expansion and your company has been successful so far, why not go for it? There are quite a few ways you can help your business expand. Here’s a few to help you get the process underway.
Seven smart ways to grow your company in 2015
Time to rise and shine! 2015 can be your year—try any of the following strategies to help pave the way for business expansion:
Form New Relationships.
Get out into the world and meet people! After all, the more professionals you know, the more opportunities you have to spread the word about your business, gain new customers, or perhaps form an alliance with a similar company. Go to trade shows, meetings at your local chamber of commerce or industry association, or panel discussions at local colleges or universities.
Show Your Value.
When you network, think beyond exchanging business cards. Be a salesperson for your company—be able to explain to others how your product or service is unique and how it can help them. And always remember, a passion for what you do will go a long way with your audience.
Share Your Thoughts.
Social media gives businesses a platform to interact with the public on a more personal level. By setting up a blog or social media site (such as Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn), you give people the opportunity to learn more about you. Through a blog, you can establish your company as a subject matter expert that consumers can trust. Use social media pages to participate in group discussions to answer questions or offer advice.
Enhance Your Marketing Efforts.
Aside from social media, how are you marketing your company? The world is full of ways to reach your customers through print, media or the internet. If you don’t have an in-house marketing department, consider working with an outsourced marketing vendor or consultant. In this way, you can leave your marketing efforts in the hands of experts, and maximize your marketing budget.
Open Another Location.
A great way to reach more customers is to become more available to them. If your resources allow, you can grow your company by opening another location. It’s best to choose an area that will help you to further reach your target demographic.
Expand Your Target Market.
While you market your company to a specific slice of society, why not broaden your reach? Who else could benefit from your business? Think domestically but also globally—and don’t forget to include internet traffic.
Increase Your Staff.
As your company grows, your employees will take on larger workloads. And to prevent overwhelming your workforce, you’ll need to consider supplementing your staff with new faces. One of the best—and easiest—ways to do this is by working with a staffing partner. Staffing firms are experts at finding, hiring and onboarding new staff, and they’ll take care of the legwork so you don’t have to. They also have access to large databases of qualified candidates and can match you with just the workers you’ll need.
