Effective Business Grow-up Strategies

It's essential for your business success to generate new business by increasing your customer base. However, it can also be really difficult.

 

To help you expand your customer base, here are some practical tips.

Conduct market research: Market research will tell you if there’s an opportunity to turn your idea into a successful business. 
Write your business plan: Your business plan is the foundation of your business. It’s a roadmap for how to structure, run, and grow your new business. 
Fund your business: Your business plan will help you figure out how much money you’ll need to start your business. 
Pick your business location: It is one of the important factors of having an effective business. Because  the choices you make could affect your taxes, legal requirements, and revenue.
Choose a business structure:  Legal structure you choose for your business will yoimpact your business registration requirements, how much you pay in taxes, and your personal liability.
 
Choose a suitable name for your business.
 
Register your business and get tax IDs which makes it legal.
 
Use social media: Social networking is a powerful medium to promote the company and gain valuable feedback by 'social listening' to potential customers. You will find out what customers think about you through social listening, gain insight into their behaviour, recognise keywords and patterns that cater to your target market, and therefore enhance your customer service. Social networking will enable you to develop and draw new customers to your business profile.
- Attend networking events: Networking helps you to establish relationships with other individuals and to inspire them by word of mouth to refer customers to you.
- Host events: Hosting your own event can be a perfect way to get to know and develop relationships with your clients. Invite and invite some of your best customers to bring their mates.
- Give back to your community: A perfect way to attract new business is to create brand recognition in the local community. To increase your business profile, suggest sponsorship or participating in a group event.
- Measure what works and strengthen your plan as you go: In order to measure whether your marketing efforts are effective or not, you can monitor where your clients are coming from.
Gather a great team: Another main element to creating a successful company is believing in the people with whom you work and trusting them with accountability, Branson says. "From a very young age, I heard this. If you don't give them the autonomy to take their position and run with it there is no point in hiring great people.

- Stay focused on your core strengths: What is the one thing that you carry to the table that is not done by others? Maintain your attention on that. If you're making the most awesome widgets on the planet, do just that

HOW CAN YOU APPLY A BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS TO YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

Introduction

The business model canvas was invented by Alex Osterwalder, cofounder of Strategyzer. You can access the Strategyzer site to download templates and tutorials of the business model canvas and then adapt them to your own goals and needs.

Osterwalder developed the business model canvas to address nine elements within an organization:

·Key partners. Who are the most important people involved?
·Key activities. What activities drive the most value?
·Key resources. What resources are needed to create value?
·Value proposition. What key problems do your products or services solve?
·Customer relationships. What do your customer segments expect from you?
·Channels. How does your value proposition reach your customers?
·Customer segments. Who are you creating value for?
·Cost structure. What are the essential costs within your business?
·Revenue streams. How do customers reward you for the value you provide?
 

When a business model canvas is filled out correctly, almost anyone can understand your business and its functions. They can see why customers love your business (or will love it) and how it is profitable.

 

How to Fill Out Your Business Model Canvas

Introduction

The business canvas model consists basically of three elements:

- Desirability. Companies need to know their clients, what they want and how best to interact with them.
- Feasibility. Companies need a system and infrastructure that is designed with the right team, resources and ideas.

- Viability. If they want to thrive, companies need a mechanism that makes financial sense.

Business Model Canvas Resources

Startup founders and project managers who want to work with the business model canvas will have plenty of resources available. The team at Canvanizer built a tutorial for their tools to build a business model canvas. Their instruments are free and fairly simple to use, so before extending the use of business model canvases to the rest of the team, department or company, you can test this mapping principle on your own. For brands like Expedia, TripAdvisor, Yelp and Uber, you can see what the canvas business model looks like.
