Gone are the days where people spend time researching in depth to find that perfect fit for whatever they are looking for.

So - how can you position your business to the the “5 second snip” which people are raving about online and to their circle of influence? Below are 3 simple tips to enhance this:

1. Never stop networking. While networking can seem to be most crucial in the infancy stages of a business, the long-term effects will provide profitable results the more the owner or manager is networking. Some examples of ways to network are:
  • Local Com,unity Organizations i.e. Chamber of Commerce 
  • Philanthropy opportunities for the business
  • Local School Booster Clubs
  • Like-minded business development groups 

2.  Use social media to your benefit. Never underestimate the power of social media. You have the opportunity to reach a large number of people with free advertising. Yes it takes someone taking time and staying on top of all your outlets; however, the benefits are limitless. You can offer special promotions for your social media followers, announce new products, and reward loyal customers. These are just a few ways to keep your business relevant to people through their social media platforms.


3. Never underestimate the power of hand-written notes. Receiving a hand-written note from a business you frequent will most likely be the icing on the cake for you to become a walking billboard for that business and to return to that business more frequently. You can challenge your team to pick one customer per week or per month and write a note to them of how they are special to you and your business.
