Ensure you have adequate insurance in place

When it comes to how you run your business, it’s important that you make sure that you have adequate insurance cover in place. One of the most crucial steps that you can take is making sure that you have properly protected yourself, your business, and your customers, and in order to be able to do that, it’s vital that you make sure that you have a secure insurance policy in place. While the added cost of insurance may not be an expense that you want to have to pay, if it means that you are protected should something unfortunate happen, such as a team member getting hurt while doing work for you, then it’s worthwhile having.

Think about suppliers

Another important aspect of running a business is making sure that you have a secure and reliable network of suppliers in place. What you want to do is take the time to source a range of suppliers to work with, and rely on for key pieces of kit that you require to complete different projects. For instance, you might want to source brick suppliers and pipe plug suppliers, so that whenever you need to place an order you know where you are ordering from and don’t need to waste time sourcing new suppliers.

Invest in the right tools

A key aspect of launching your own business is making sure to invest in the right tools and pieces of equipment for your business to be successful. If you are going to build a successful construction business, you need to invest in your company to get it off to the right start. You can’t run a construction business without having all of the key pieces of kit in place, so it is essential that you take the time to think carefully about what pieces of equipment you need to make your business a success.

Launching a construction business comes with a lot of hard work, time and effort, which is why it’s not an undertaking that should be taken lightly. Of course, that being said, with the right approach you can make launching a construction business far simpler and easier, and increase your chances of success at the same time.

Extra Security Measures Your Business Should Put in Place

The focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. An important part of your business is its security. Assuring that all of your security measures are in place will increase the likelihood of your business performing and operating for a long period of time. The following contributed post is entitled, Extra Security Measures Your Business Should Put in Place.

* * *

If your business is facing risks of various kinds, it’s important to combat them effectively with the right security measures. If you’re currently in the process of looking for better and stronger extra security measures, we’ve got some ideas to discuss with you which should help you to get to where you want to be. Each of the tips below will make your business better prepared to deal with the security threats you face.

Carry Out Regular Risk Assessments

First of all, you should try to carry out risk assessments on a regular basis. When you do this, you’ll find that you spot problems with your approach to business and see where risks are being taken unnecessarily. From there, you can start to cut out those problems and address risks better. You don’t want to wait for something to go wrong or someone to get hurt before taking action.

Train Staff on Security Threats and How to Combat Them

Everyone working for your business should be aware of the security threats the business faces. When they have that understanding, they’re able to deal with situations better and combat security threats more effectively. All of that comes from the training you offer though. If you’re not going the extra mile to offer strong training to your staff members, they won’t be able to deal with these situations.

Secure Sensitive and High-Value Items

If you have anything in your workplace that’s of a high value or that contains sensitive information, you should do more to ensure these things are properly secured and protected. A safe that you can keep in the office and lock away your items in is a good option if you want to protect your possessions while the office is closed.

Dash Cams for Company Vehicles

If you want to make sure that your fleet of vehicles is being used in a safe and secure way when out on the road, you need to find ways of monitoring and tracking their use. That can be done in a variety of ways, such as with a dash cam fleet system. You can also use GPS tracking systems to see where your vehicles are traveling. These things will improve safety and costs, so make the most of them.

Install a Modern Alarm System

Having a modern alarm system setup inside your business’s premises is a good idea. That way, you can be alerted to any suspicious activity, no matter where you are. With these modern systems, you can get alerts sent directly to your mobile device or whatever device you want. It’ll also help deter potential burglars thinking of breaking in.

Your business has a responsibility to do more to ensure it’s fully secure and safe. As we’ve discussed, the threats out there are developing and changing rapidly. And it’s the businesses that are not up to date and not aware of those threats that are most likely to be seen as easy targets. Don’t let that be you.

5 Ideas To Attract New Clients

Two focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. An important aspect of your business is attracting new clients to assure that your pipeline is continually filled. There several important keys to your marketing strategy. The following contributed post is entitled, 5 Ideas To Attract New Clients.

* * *

When you’re running a business, you’ve got to balance your time between retaining your current customers and working to attract new ones. To help you attract new clients today, these five tips may come in handy.

1 . Offer incentives

To attract new clients to your business, it can be useful to offer incentives. Provide discounts for your new customers; simple actions like this can work wonders. With a discount or two you can lure in those customers who wouldn’t have otherwise made a purchase. Once these customers have made a purchase with you, ensure that you make a note of the offers which drew them in. By tracking customer purchases, you can improve your marketing efforts to retain their ongoing loyalty.

2. More networking

When you’re looking to boost your brand awareness, networking is a crucial step. You should start by joining networking organizations and your trade association. You can also network online using sites like LinkedIn or apps like Shapr and One Million Cups. As an entrepreneur, it can be useful to join up to organizations such as ‘The Association For Entrepreneurship’. Here you’ll find networking opportunities, education, peer mentoring, and community involvement.

3. Improve your content marketing

To attract new clients, one of the most critical areas to focus on is your content marketing. Focus on best responding to search intent and on ensuring that your content is educational and engaging. Video marketing is one of the best ways to engage new audiences, boost your credibility, and increase conversions. To present your business as authentic, it’s helpful to focus on user-generated content. When customers can see that their peers are enjoying your products, they’ll be far more likely to convert.

4. Appeal to international markets

To attract new clients, you should aim to appeal to international markets. One of the easiest ways to do this is to cater to international client needs. Here are a few areas of focus:

● Currency Exchange: First off, make it easy for international clients to pay using their own currency.
● Worldwide Shipping: Offer worldwide shipping options so that your clients are not restricted to only one geographical location.
● Languages: Ensure that your website, your chatbots, and marketing materials cater to different languages, depending on the markets that you are targeting.
● Software Localization: Investing in a software localization service is a great way to target new markets. It refers to the procedure used to adapt your software to cater to new languages and cultural requirements.

5. Review sites

Last up, putting your business on review sites is a great way to get some glowing testimonials. When customers are looking for products, one of the first things they do is to look at reviews and testimonials. Make it easy for them to find you on review sites, and ask your existing customers to provide testimonials.

To widen your reach and keep on growing it’s important to be attracting new clients all of the time.

How To Make Christmas Fun For Kids This Year

Two focuses of my blog are Health/Wellness and Home/Living Discussions. With Covid-19, this has been an unusual year where everything has been impacted even our holidays. The following contributed post is entitled, How To Make Christmas Fun For Kids This Year.

* * *

Christmas will always be a fun time for children, but sometimes the magic can be forgotten a little as adults try to make sure everything is ‘just so’ before the big day. Although this is necessary, it can be hard to get everything done and make sure the kids are entertained not just on Christmas Day but in the days (and maybe weeks) leading up to it.

This year especially is potentially tricky; you may not be able to see friends and family, and children may start to become frustrated because the things they would typically do each Christmas aren’t available.

Children are only little for a short time, and it’s important to make sure every Christmas is the best it can be, including this one. This doesn’t have to be expensive, and it doesn’t have to cause you stress or put you under pressure. There are many activities and fun traditions that kids can join in with that will give you time together or apart (depending on what you need to be doing) and ensure they have a Christmas holiday they’ll always remember. Read on for some great ideas to keep the magic alive for the kids this Christmastime.

Make Ornaments

You can never have too many Christmas ornaments, and if you want to give the kids something to do that will keep them – and you if you want to join in – occupied for a while, and give you something lovely to hang on your tree year after year, making ornaments is a great choice.

You can even mix this idea up with a scavenger hunt so that the children have to search around the house for the items they need to make the decorations with. They can use natural items such as pinecones and twigs or any leftover materials such as cardboard, ribbons, wrapping paper, Christmas cards, and more. This should be a cheap but fun activity for everyone.

Enjoy A Party

Restrictions might mean that parties can’t take place in the way they usually would, but that doesn’t mean there are no parties to be had, and the Christmas season can be a jolly one when you think a little more laterally.

Using video calling technology such as Zoom means your children can ‘meet’ with their school friends to have a great online party. You can organize this yourself and plan out games and other activities for everyone to enjoy, or you can hire someone to do it for you. You can even pick a theme such as a Zoom magic show that will keep everyone happy for a while and give them a lovely boost of Christmas spirit as they can see their friends and interact with them even if they can’t meet up in real life. This idea can even be used for adult parties too, and your office party will really be livened up with a magician on Zoom.

Try Baking

You don’t have to be an amazingly skilled baker to have fun in the kitchen. You don’t have to have any skills at all, as this particular way to make the kids happy is all about enjoying yourself and laughing together, rather than creating a masterpiece of baking prowess.

Make sure you set aside plenty of time for this task, as baking can often take longer than you think it will, plus you’ll need to plan so you can get the ingredients you need to create each baked item.

Ask each family member to choose one thing they would like to bake, and then you can plan ahead. On the day itself, don’t be too strict about things, though; it’s good to let loose and experiment a little, and if the cakes and sweet treats don’t look exactly like the recipe says they should, it really doesn’t matter as long as they taste good (and even if they don’t, if you all had fun it was worth every second)!

Christmas Movie Day

One thing that will never change when it comes to Christmas is all the great movies you can find around the theme. Whether it’s Elf, The Polar Express, Home Alone, Miracle On 34th Street, Santa Clause the Movie, or any of the thousands of other examples, taking a whole day off work to be with your kids and enjoy the magic and fun that a good Christmas movie can offer is something they will never forget.

Make it even better by adding snacks like popcorn or getting pizza delivered. Create a blanket fort to watch the movies in. Draw titles from a hat so you never know what’s coming next, or all take a turn watching. Wear your pajamas all day.

The point is, your kids will appreciate the time spent with you when you’re not distracted by work or trying to do other things. This is what makes Christmas special, this year and every year.

How To level Up Your Virtual Event

Three focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money, Business/Entrepreneurship and Technology. In the post Covid-19 world, virtual events have taken on an increased significance. As such, you want to host the best events possible. The following contributed post is entitled, How To level Up Your Virtual Event.

* * *

The events and tradeshow sector has taken a huge hit this year due to travel restrictions and policies around COVID-19. However, the industry is starting to find its footing again in the form of virtual events. 79% of event planners are now providing virtual events.

Rather than simply holding a glorified online PowerPoint presentation, you need to up your game and find ways to make your virtual events a must-attend event with our top tips.

Send out promotional items to key registrations

Who hasn’t been to an event and walked away with a bag full of pens, notebooks, USB keys, socks, and candy? It’s one of the perks. Well, just because the event is virtual doesn’t mean you have to dispense with the corporate swag altogether.

Identify key people that you want to sign up for the event. Once they do, send them out a package full of promotional items ahead of time. Or you can use it as an incentive for early registration. Think of items your audience will want and get in touch with water bottle companies and promotional item suppliers.

Use gamification to keep attendees interested

Stop attendees drifting in and out of the event by adding a layer of gamification to your virtual event. Attendees can build points for attending sessions or asking questions. These points can be converted to prizes or discounts with some of the companies running the show.

Up your keynote speaker game

A great keynote speaker is one of the key factors that draw people to sign up for events. As you’ll likely be saving the budget on venue rental and the cost of travel and accommodation for the speaker, you can funnel this budget into a fantastic keynote.

Facilitate 1:1 meetings

For sponsors and attendees, one of the main reasons to attend a trade show is to meet with potential sales prospects. Create a facility where people can book 1:1 short virtual sessions with each other.

Create different streams

At a standard trade show, people from various disciplines attend the sessions relevant to them. Resist the urge to have one track-linear timetable for your virtual event. CEO’s don’t want to sit through content aimed at finance managers and marketers don’t want to watch content for IT directors. It’s a sure way to lose attendees quickly.

Promote the different stress to the right people so that they can enjoy the entire event without waiting for their relevant sections.

Make breaks interesting

You don’t want to risk people drifting off during breaks and not returning to the event. Resist the urge to fill it full of boring promo and arrange something a bit different. It could be something like an interactive quiz (for prizes) or a live demonstration of cooking or even a comedian.

Provide high-quality content downloads

Once the event is over, keep a website live so that attendees can access videos of the sessions, marketing downloads, and get in contact with sponsors and corporate partners.

Effective Ways To Boost Employees Productivity Levels In 2020

Two key focuses of my blog are Current Events and Organizational/Management Discussions. The Coronavirus/Covid-19 pandemic has significantly affected the landscape of most workplaces. A continual consideration for managers is how to maximize employee productivity. The following contributed post is entitled, Effective Ways To Boost Employees Productivity Levels In 2020.

* * *

2020 has been a strange and scary year for everyone thanks to the Coronavirus pandemic. Out of what seemed like nowhere, the entire world was hit hard by the virus, causing many countries to go into complete lockdown and forcing businesses to adapt around these rules. Whether your team worked from home, or you were able to stay open due to being key workers, if your business has made it this far then congratulations! It’s likely that your team has worked hard during these strange months, and you may be beginning to notice a little lackluster in their efforts – and that’s totally understandable given the year we’ve had! However, to ensure your business continues to thrive, it’s your job to keep productivity levels high, and here are some effective ways to boost your employees productivity in 2020.

https://pixaby.com/photos/make-the-day-great-letterbox-4166221

Give them incentives

As a boss, you expect your staff to work hard but sometimes, motivation can drop and a great way to boost their productivity is by giving incentives to your staff. Your employees may already have the advantages of using your Health Reimbursement Account, so you may want to look for more creative incentives! You could offer a day off completely paid if targets are met, or vouchers for money off their favourite brands. Having something exciting to work towards is an extremely effective way of boosting productivity levels, and it’s a great way of saying thank you to your staff for working so hard!

Reevaluate your office layout

Sometimes motivation and productivity levels can drop because of your surroundings. Rooms with little to no natural light, boring and dull decor, and even an office layout can affect this, so shake things up! Provided you’re complying with COVID-19 office regulations, you could experiment with different seating plans, the direction desks are facing, or even treat your staff to brand new office chairs to maximise their comfort while working. A great way of achieving this is by speaking directly to your staff so they can voice their opinions and ideas. Creating an environment where everyone works well will help your business thrive.

Switch up roles

Job roles can become mundane when you do them day in and day out for months or years on end, so why not switch up your employees job roles a little? If possible, allow your team to switch roles for a day or two each week to keep things interesting. Not only that, more ideas and opinions for each job role could lead to bigger things for your business. Obviously, this might not be applicable for specialist job roles, but generic roles such as answering the phone or data entry could be switched up to keep things interesting for your staff.

Millions of businesses have been forced to close thanks to the pandemic, and if yours is still going but your staff are struggling with motivation or productivity, then use this guide to help bring those levels back to where they should be. Remember that showing gratitude for all of your employees hard work will make the world of difference.

Things You Should Do to Make Your Recycling Business Successful

Two focuses of my blog Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. An industry that affects all of us and which will likely always be around is the recycling business. Once you get into this sector, there are things you’ll need to do to be competitive. The following contributed post is entitled, Things You Should Do to Make Your Recycling Business Successful.

Whether you are starting or running a recycling business, you can make it successful. However, you need to put some factors in the right place, for instance, hiring a committed senior manager, assessing the program’s progress, and evaluating material wastage exchange. Read on to get a good understanding of what you should put in place.

The Senior Manager

The level of the senior manager’s commitment is crucial for your business success. Although your business’s overall success requires cooperation from all the team members, the senior manager can greatly influence it. You need a senior manager who has leadership qualities and excellent personal relations skills. You also need to allow the whole team to be part of developing the mission statement so that they can own it and work towards it.

Select the Right Equipment

Do not invest in machines that will leave a lot of waste in the process of recycling. You need to save every material you have already collected to get maximum profit, save on energy, and still produce quality. If you are recycling metallic waste, you can get the alligator shears. There is proof it saves on the materials.

Assess Material Wastage Exchanges

Typically, waste materials from one company are utilized in other companies. While markets for recyclables keep growing fast, some factors can affect the recyclables’ value. They include market demand, the recyclable condition, proximity to the markets, bale sizes, and availability. These factors will help you make appropriate decisions on what you should recycle, at what time, and whether you should diversify.

Do the Math

It is an amazing thing to be part of the team that keeps the environment clean. However, you are doing business, and you need to pay your employees. You need enough revenue to cater for all the costs and leave you with a balance. Calculate all the costs (transportation, storage, maintenance, among others), then cross-check with the revenue. Expanding the business also requires capital. If your profit is good, you can save part of it to grow your business.

Have a Routine of Re-evaluating the Program

Every business requires constant monitoring to assess its progress and to put in place strategies to move forward. You need to know whether the program is efficient and effective, the production range, employees’ motivation/morale, and the environmental impact. Some of the feedback sources include

● Custodial staff can tell you of the handling practices and material quality.
● Your employees
● Your clients
● The waste hauler can tell you of the type and the recycled amount of waste.

Place and Label Recycling Bins Properly

When recycling bins are far from people, most of them will throw waste elsewhere and won’t use them. However, when they are near them, they will use them effortlessly. It is a simple way of encouraging people. You also need to ensure that all the recycling bins are well labeled so that people place each waste in the right bin. It will make it easier for your employees.

Conclusion

A recycling business not only cleans the environment but also creates employment opportunities. Nevertheless, for your recycling business to be successful, you have to keep a few factors in check. Hire a committed senior manager who can lead and relate with your employees exceptionally, use equipment that saves on materials, and get feedback to assess the program’s progress.

How Do You Get A Better ROI From Your Marketing Strategy

Two focuses of my blog are Financial Literacy/Money and Business/Entrepreneurship. A major component of your business is you marketing. It’s good enough just to market though. You have to do it effectively. The following contributed post is entitled, How Do You Get A Better ROI From Your Marketing Strategy.

What does ROI mean? For those that are unaware, it stands for Return on Investment, relating to what you gain from investing your money. In marketing terms, it basically addresses how much you earn as a result of a marketing campaign/strategy. As a basic example, let’s say you spent $1000 on a marketing campaign, and it yielded sales totaling $2000. Here, you’re made a positive ROI as you essentially gained $1000.

With that in mind, how do you get a better ROI from a marketing strategy? Marketing and advertising cost lots of money nowadays, meaning many small businesses struggle to profit. Nevertheless, here are a few worthwhile ideas:

Utilize free marketing as much as you can

The first step is to be more frugal in your approach to marketing. There’s no need to splash the cash all the time – many marketing tactics are free! Think of things like social media marketing; this can be done without spending a penny. Word-of-mouth marketing works well for small businesses – get people to spread the word for you. You’ve also got ideas that initially cost money, yet provide free marketing afterward. Handing out branded products is a fine example; give customers a free tote bag with your branding on it, and they basically advertise your business whenever they go out with it.

Switch from traditional to digital marketing

Traditional marketing includes loads of classic ideas like billboard ads, newspaper adverts, flyers, etc. Nowadays, these methods aren’t as effective, meaning they provide a lower ROI. Instead, it’s worth venturing into the realm of digital marketing. Now, what is digital marketing? In short, it relates to all the different ways of promoting your business through digital channels. Again, social media falls under this umbrella, as do SEO, PPC, etc. Digital marketing helps you get a better ROI because it’s easier to tweak and measure the success of a campaign. You have access to all kinds of metrics that tell you what is working and what isn’t. Therefore, you can make adjustments to ensure you see a positive ROI.

Plus, most digital marketing tactics are more affordable than traditional ones. Do you know how much it will cost to get an advert on the TV during a prime time show? A fair bit more than paying for an advert on social media!

Set a strict budget

Finally, you should set a strict budget and stick to it. Many people see a negative ROI because they keep paying for more things. Your campaign isn’t producing results, so you increase the budget and keep promoting as much as you can. In the end, you spent far too much to make it possible to gain a positive return. A strict budget forces you to think smarter and make your money go a long way. It limits your spending, which could help you see a better ROI.

In summary, it’s all about being wise with your spending. Think of ideas and tactics that don’t cost much money, yet provide excellent results. Contrary to what you might believe, you don’t need to spend a fortune on a good marketing strategy.
