Sharing And Supporting In Small Businesses

Sometimes sharing and supporting people through difficulty, challenge and change is required and expected from a business owner to sustain a good employee and form an employee-friendly work environment. This must be provided open heartedly. Showing our vulnerability is part of our authenticity. While this cannot be done with everyone around, a common platform for employees to come together is a great way for them to express connection in someone’s good or bad times. This is a wonderful way for employees and companies to grow together.

There is a fine line between self-adulation and self-promotion. In order to be one such successful person as mentioned above, you need to be the best at self-promotion in that field and not at self-adulation. The basic thing to watch out for is self-promotion works because it is the art of spreading ideas, concepts, and a greater vision that you have gained through hard work and experience. Self-adulation is just the promotion of accomplishments or deeds that have already been done, which only sound boastful.

Promoting ideas means giving people something to cheer for, to support. Like I am giving these ideas to your right now, and that is what is making you read on.

Creating a buzz is essential, so reach out to power brokers and tell them why they should promote you. Eventually, it’s not about your world, it’s about how others can fit into it. If you don’t already know any, create power brokers from within. Build others up until they have the power to build you up.

The first step is to be confident. The next step is to start spreading your ideas. Make your vision as clear and as concise as possible. Brand yourself and your ideas as unique. Remember, although few ideas are genuinely unique, your expression can be. Build a tight and loyal community that believes in you, then inspire and empower them to take action. Make it cool to be a fan, like we wear red to celebrate Valentine’s day, or Kim Kardashian’s pumps, or Justin Bieber’s hair-cut etc. Having a symbolic identifier like this is extremely powerful.

Many kinds of statistical as well as descriptive market reports are readily available, that investigate the media habits of consumers of different products and/or the segments that your company has chosen to target. However, it is best to get in touch with local advertising and media experts to help you make the right decision. If not, speak with industry experts and do extensive research on the subject before you invest in advertising.

Collaborating with other businesses is a great way to grow your market share, build momentum and broaden your audience. Collaboration produces innovation as well as amplifies success by increasing resources through joint ventures of time and brainpower. In the world of design-thinking, collaboration is an esteemed means to an end. For example, it is a sign of a good designer to always gather input from other peer-designers and colleagues before designing a dress or a chair. Similarly, from a design thinking perspective, one wouldn’t go about designing a new transportation infrastructure or service delivery system for a fast food chain without factoring in others’ ideas.

Pre-test your advertisements to see how effective they actually are in influencing consumers.  It is common to have to redesign an ad if it is found not be to be as effective as targeted. Note that selecting advertisements is often a tedious process of trying and testing and keeping the best, while trashing the rest. Be prepared for trials. It takes time!

Customers are typically left out when we consider collaboration. Customer collaboration, however, is one of the most effective marketing tools to help increase company awareness, establish your brand and offer greater customer experiences. Simple collaborative customer efforts can include personalized services/products or product innovation with customer input. Customers take a greater sense of pride and admiration in their purchases when they have a buy-in to what a company creates. To have your customers involved in your creation, it is a good idea to roll out voting and open polls or discussions for customers on your website.
