What do you mean by better?

Are there any good ways to transition a small business to family members?

I’m not too sure where to start. I’m taking on my parents business and it’s in decline. The changes that need to be made are drastic cause they’re losing business but I don’t even know where to start. I’d like to write a business/marketing plan, but they think it’s all unnecessary work. On top of it, they do all their paperwork on actual paper, so i’m trying to get it all on a computer. I’m afraid they won’t use it, cause they show extreme fear.
Any ideas as to how to organize and improve with efficiency?

This same scenario is occurring with brother in-law as I type this. His parents have owned their company for over 30 years, and while it is marginally successful, it’s outdated and needs to be improved.

A couple of things to consider:

1. The business plan. This is definitely a positive thing to do! If your parents think it’s necessary, then write one without them and then show it to them when you’re done. They may be amazed at what they see. Do the legwork to show you’re serious and dedicated to they business they built.

2. You’re on the right track with regards to automating everything. I currently have a client who won’t set up online banking because he doesn’t "trust" computers. It’s common for people to be fearful or nervous around computers and software applications if they’re unused to using them. You can start small, Excel Spreadsheets to list inventories, work schedules, etc., Word Documents to type letters. Show them how easy it is use once they can learn it and gradually build up to more "sophisticated software" like Quickbooks or something similar (if this is needed). Point out to them that they had the knowledge and wherewithall to grow and build their business, and that learning a computer is nothing compared to that.


Working with family can be tough because they’re family. You’re their child and they may have a hard time seeing past that. Start small, prove yourself and your ideas, and show they what can accomplished. Above all, empower them, show them how this (your changes) will improve their professional lives. Key word is "show", don’t just talk about it, do it, and show them the results.

Good luck!

www.geminiphoenix.com does small business marketing and graphic design. Anyone know if they do good work?

I found Gemini Phoenix Marketing Solutions and wondered if anyone had any experience with them. I have heard that their graphics designer is top notch. Do they do good website and ecommerce designs and implementations?

…are you using Yahoo Answers to advertise for your business?

I have to create a marketing business plan, what resources are available?

I admit that I have no idea what am doing really, but I learn fast and I am competent. Is there a marketing business plans for dummies? Thanks

Creating a marketing business plan can be rather tricky as most people assume that a business plan and a marketing plan are interchangeable.

I assume you mean an actual marketing plan for a business – probably a small business?

There are several webpages on the internet that deal with marketing business plans and even if they seem free, they probably want to get your money somehow.

Here is a resource online with several examples as well as video tutorials.

Good luck!

Starting a consultation business, any ideas?

A partner and I are in the begining stages of starting a consulting firm. We plan on starting small and mainly keeping it local. We paln on specializing in marketing and business solutions for small to mid size businesses. We hold knowledge in both areas as well as gathering and analyzing statistical data. Any advice or ideas would be appreciated.
We are located in the United States.
Marketing our company is not a problem as we already have a plan in doing so. I am mainly looking for things that we may have overlooked such as hidden costs and snags that may occur when starting a business of this nature. Basically just looking for advice from those that have entered into similar ventures.

Plan your work and work your plan.
This is a very important piece of advice.

Wish you good luck :)

Business Plan and Marketing Plan.. Help!?

I have to draw up the Business and marketing plans for a small actual company as a project. How would I get about doing this?

The business plan consists of a narrative and several financial worksheets. The narrative template is the body of the business plan.
The real value of creating a business plan is not in having the finished product in hand; rather, the value lies in the process of researching and thinking about your business in a systematic way. The act of planning helps you to think things through thoroughly, study and research if you are not sure of the facts, and look at your ideas critically. It takes time now, but avoids costly, perhaps disastrous, mistakes later.
This business plan is a generic model suitable for all types of businesses. However, you should modify it to suit your particular circumstances.
You will be judged by the quality and appearance of your work as well as by your ideas.

Here are the headings to consider :
I. Table of Contents
II. Executive Summary
III. General Company Description
IV. Products and Services
V. Marketing Plan
VI. Operational Plan
VII. Management and Organisation
VIII. Personal Financial Statement
IX. Startup Expenses and Capitalisation
X. Financial Plan

How to develop the business some slogans marketing solution?

Exclusie sollution for innovative minds experience the power of change we serve the best

"Exclusive solutions for innovative minds. Experience the power of change. We serve the best," I would say each of these on their own would be okay; however, you need to make sure your slogan relates to your product or service.

If what your company does isn’t evident in your name you really need to rethink these options. Also if your business doesn’t somehow affect change in someone else’s business, you need to seriously rethink these options.

Generally speaking, once you’ve figured out who you are and what you do, the best slogan is one that your consumers don’t have to think about too much to understand. They want to find a company who can help them solve a problem–they don’t want to take a test.

Are there any business plan / marketing writers with entrepreneurial aspirations out there?

I am looking to start another new business and the major lesson I learned from my last successful venture was to create a core team starting at the concept phases who would continue to contribute up to the first equity event and then hopefully contribute in a larger matter thereafter. This team should fill any skill gaps I and other team member possess. The ideal person would illustrate entrepreneurial aspirations and would be looking to create an exit strategy in their current position. Great business plan / marketing writing essential.

I am a canadian entrepreneur. I have put together many business plans, and am specialized in Sales and Marketing.
What’s your project?

Advice on low cost web or traditional marketing for small business!?

Hello

I have been running an online canvas art retail business for a few months now – http://www.espiritoart.com

Visitors I do have have generally liked the design and functionality (although I do have some suggestions to work on), and given the low traffic, my conversion ratio is actually good. All of this suggests that I just need more people to know about it (not an uncommon problem I imagine!!).

On the internet side, I have submitted to about 200 directories, have a priority listing on a commonly used business search directory and have numerous successful art profiling sites which generate some traffic. Although an amateur I’ve also done things with stumbleupon, digg, delicious etc.

On the traditional side, I’ve had a free article in a local newspaper, and taken my work to various galleries, fairs etc.

I know there’s no one solution, but does anyone have any suggestions for low cost activities that have worked for them, perhaps if you have been in a similar situation?

Thanks a lot!

First of all – you need to change your site slightly – both from a SEO and customer conversion perspective. Put what you do above the fold – ie on the first screen you see. Use key words. This will help get you better search rankings and let people who visit know what you do.

Secondly – start a linking campaign with other sites that may need graphics or your services. Write a nice email to each site saying that you have visited their site, mention something you have seen on the site so that they know you have and introduce your service. The whole email should be about 200 words long at the most and preferably about 150 words. This works is you target them correctly.

Thirdly – put your website link on everything – your emails, letters, car etc.

Lastly – offer talks on a subject to local clubs groups etc. If you convert well from the site this should work as well,
