Foundations

We often hear about how a business has been started, it’s usually a story that can be told, and is interesting to hear. But not only is this story interesting, but it also gives potential clients and customers a sense of knowing who you are and what the business is about. This is essentially a wonderful thing, But having solid foundations for your business and knowing how to share this information with the world, is essential. We don’t always know where our businesses are going to end up, but knowing where business begins, can, of course, help people understand your intentions and your hopes for the business too. If your business was started in the bedroom, after a conversation over dinner one evening, then don’t be afraid to share it, it’s nothing to be ashamed of especially if you’ve managed to grow your business significantly since then. Everybody loves a success story especially those who came from nothing.

Data

Gathering and using data via reports, and software such as Microsoft Office 365 is a very powerful tool. Knowing exactly why a customer has chosen you as their online store, and understanding why there are gaps in the user experience can vastly increase your sales over time. Data is powerful in this modern age, and being able to use this data effectively is not only a powerful marketing tool, but it’s likely to provide a foundation for your business over time. Data can also be a valuable tool in many ways, it can predict any potential problems, and can show you historically what has worked at different times of the year.
