What do you mean by better?

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!

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!

Wish you good luck

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.

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,
