Small Business Marketing Strategies Presented by Bob Perry

The Entrepreneur One who: –organizes, –manages, and –assumes the risks of a business or enterprise Risk Takers…Market Finders

Is Entrepreneurship For You? Are you a self-starter? How well do you get along with different personalities? How good are you at making decisions? Do you have the physical and emotional stamina to run a business? How well do you plan and organize? Is your drive strong enough to maintain your motivation? Can you plan? More importantly, can you implement?

On the Upside You get to be your own boss. Hard work and long hours directly benefit you, rather than increasing profits for someone else. Earning and growth potential are not limited. A new venture is exciting. YOU CAN GET RICH! Running a business will provide endless variety, challenge and opportunities to learn. On the Downside You are responsible. You won’t be sleeping until noon and/or working 4 hours a week. Having a great idea does not necessarily mean $$$ or success

Some Common Reasons for Small Business Failure Lack of experience Insufficient capital Cash flow Poor inventory management Over-investment in fixed assets Poor credit arrangements Personal use of business funds Unexpected growth Competition Poor location Low Sales

What’s Your Plan? Can Your Product be: Described and sold without being seen, touched or tried? Easily or quickly shipped? Can Your Business: Handle more sales volume? Use more sales leads and contacts? Options Handle transactions. Promote and sell products directly to customers on-line. Communicate and provide information to customers and business partners on-line. Use the Internet as a “sales brochure” to generate interest, desire and sales leads for your product. Remember business is about recognizing and meeting customer expectations. Customers expect to get information but they may or may not want to conduct the sale on-line.
