Why Some Businesses Fail?

Image
Business is a complex concept that many fail to gasp. A business only emerges to be successful if it is implemented after thorough planning with passion, discipline, and after a great deal of research. Sustaining a business can become extremely difficult after a certain period of time due to budget constraints and poor planning. According to a survey, in the USA alone, 70% of new businesses take a hit within a decade of their conception. A truly successful business is not one that booms and experiences a short and vibrant period of success. A truly successful company is one that enjoys sustainable success that lasts long term and withstands the test of time. Many business owners make the mistake of ignoring critical issues during the first few years, which in turn damages the business operations down the road in later years, and sometimes it's too late for the problem to be fixed. A number of reasons can lead to your business becoming a failure. Some of the common reasons ar...

The Impact of The Spanish Influence in the Caribbean

Image
 
The Spanish wars in the Caribbean and South America changed history for everyone in the region. It is not apparent to those in Barbados and other Caribbean islands, which were forever changed by the Spanish occupation and the decades of wars with the British, French, and Dutch. 
 
The Spanish wars also had long-lasting political and economic impacts on the area, as the triumphant European powers developed colonies and laid claim to land, resources, and people. The tradition of manifest destiny and imperialism can still be felt in the Caribbean and South America today, as numerous countries struggle with problems such as hardship, inequality, and political instability. Spain's involvement in the war diverted British resources far from North America, as the British were forced to defend their colonies in the Caribbean versus Spanish attacks. This diversion of resources damaged the British position in North America, making it simpler for the American rebels to secure their self-rel...

How to Show Value and Position Your Price to Encourage Customers to Buy

Image
One way to show value and highlight the great price you’re offering your customers is to point out when you are giving a discount or savings, as this lets customers know you’re giving them a great deal and lots of value. A discount also has a psychological effect - we feel we are getting a better deal and are more likely to buy. Seeing that an item is discounted not only is an incentive to buy it now, it can also encourage new users to buy that might otherwise have not considered it. For example, when listing your price, you might write: "$97 --- 50% Off Today!" This makes people feel they are getting a great deal, helps them justify the purchase to themselves and is more likely to push them over the line. If you have several similar offers that are slightly better or more/less expensive than the other, instead of just listing off the benefits of each one next to their price, you can also not only list off the savings, but say “Good Deal,” “Better Deal,”...

How To Create A Better Funnel For Your Business?

Image
Every entrepreneur is well familiar with the importance of marketing in today’s era of extreme competition. Marketing through various channels has become essential to make sure a business is able to thrive in the market. Without a proper marketing strategy, a company will not be able to gain new customers and expand their reach. Are you looking for tips and techniques to create better sales funnel for your business? If so, you are in the right place. What Is A Sales Funnel? A sales funnel is a marketing concept that provides a schematic of the process through which a customer goes through while making a purchase. The term ‘funnel’ is used as an analogy because most of the people who know about a business are its potential customers and represent the top, most significant part of the funnel. This might also be described as your “warm market” and may include those who are on the fence about your brand, or barely even giving it a thought. These people are on top. The people w...

How Split Testing Can Massively Increase Your Conversions and Sales

Image
Too many business owners and marketers will only create one version of an offer, sales page, opt-in page, ad, etc., and simply hope that it works. If it does, they’re happy. If it doesn’t, they think that the offer simply doesn’t work. That’s a horrible way to go about it. If your first attempt doesn’t work, you’ll want to create several different versions of all of those to see if maybe it’s something in your sales copy. And even if you get lucky and get a winning offer right off the bat, you’ll want to constantly test new things in the sales copy to see if you can increase clicks to your ads, lead conversions to your opt-in pages, sales to your sales page, and upsells to your upsell pages. It doesn’t have to be hard. Even just changing around headlines or little things here and there can often have drastic effects. For instance, you might find that changing a headline and shortening down the length of an opt-in page might boost your lead conversions from 20% to ...

How Creating A Sense of Urgency Can Help Improve Sales: Reducing/Offering Free Shipping Within A Certain Time Frame

Image
Don’t you hate it when you’re searching for an item, find it at an amazing price, then see that shipping is going to cost you an arm and a leg? One way to increase your sales, especially over a short period of time, is to reduce the cost of your shipping, or offer a sale period time where shipping is free. By putting a time limit on when you make free shipping available, you add a sense of urgency, encouraging customers to buy now, as opposed to at a later date. It’s also a good way to encourage customers who may have been on the fence to make a purchase now. For example, say you have a business that sells gardening supplies online. Reach out to your customers and let them know that for any supplies ordered by midnight on Sunday, you’ll offer free delivery. If you have regular customers that place large orders with you, you may even want to reach out and call them. On your website, make sure it’s clear that you have this offer available for a limited time - it may be a pop u...

Pricing Strategies to Increase Your Sales

Image
How can you price your product in a way that psychologically impacts your customer into believing they’re getting a great deal? When people see the difference, between your normal price and your sales price, it influences their decision to purchase. By having a “normal” price listed it creates the impression that the deal they are getting is awesome. They’re getting all this value at a price that is way less than “normal”. People love to believe they are getting a bargain and by listing both your normal and sale price side by side, it highlights the value they’re getting for their money. For example, when you list your pricing, write it as, "Normally $197 -- Only $97 Today!" You can also come up with reasons to have such discounts listed. These reasons can be mentioned next to the discounted price as well. These could be things like a holiday special, inventory closeout, end of year special pricing, manager’s special, etc.. Any reason works and makes it ...

The Enemy of Done

Image
We’re often called the big picture thinkers…  the innovators…  the ideators … the visionaries… One of the big things that quickly deflate our excitement after we bring new ideas to our teams to implement is the speed at which they are implemented. I’ll admit it… I was completely unrealistic in my expectations as far as the  time and energy  it took to get projects from concept to completion.  It was only until my project manager got on a video call with me and showed me exactly all the steps and moving parts involved in getting just one of these projects tasked, implemented, tested and then launched.   BTW: Highly suggest you do this at some point with your project manager. Not only is it a huge eye-opening experience… You’ll gain a clearer understanding of what it  really  takes to get a project off the ground.  Knowing this information will give you a better insight when it comes to establishing project priority levels with your team.  You’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for ...

Image

In this era of fierce competition when thousands of websites are competing for the same kind of audience. In such a competitive environment, SEO practices play an essential role in website ranking.

Image
Don't forget you'll also need water for cleaning dishes after cooking. Also, keep his favorite toys for chasing at the riverside or chewing around camp while you are busy barbequing. You can include things like liquid bandages, iodine for cleaning wounds, a tick remover, and wax paw protectors for dry pads to utilize in extreme situations It it said to be the third most visited area of France; Paris and the Riviera being the two most popular.

Practice with a friends camp oven before you go out and buy one for yourself Beyond their functional advantages over ordinary tents, truck tents are just more fun. This tent was designed so the edges of the tent slide over your pickup truck's bed rails, preventing anything (including rain water) from sliding down into the bed of your truck. You cannot chop across the grain with it, and it's impossible to c...

How to Make More Money Without Having to Look for More Customers

Image
It’s often a lot easier to sell to your current customers than to get a new customer. They already like and trust you and know your product/service works. Tap into that opportunity by looking at what else you can sell to your customers that compliments what they bought previously. For example, if you have a resume writing service, you could go out to recent customers and also offer an additional service where you submit their resume to X amount of job ads and write a customized cover letter for each ad, and also submit their resume to several recruitment agencies. One of our followers once had a tech business where he sold server management services, and he was asking me how to increase sales. After pointing out how it’s often much easier to sell to existing customers than get new ones, I asked him what kind of stuff or things his current customers seem to want or ask him for. As I suspected, they were often asking for things like websites, ranking help, etc. amo...

How Outsourcing An Offer That You Sell Can Make More Money For Your Business

Image
There’s only so much time in the day, and although it can be a great idea to add extra services that you sell and fulfill yourself, it’s not always practical. This is why it can be a great idea to look for other services or offers that you can sell yourself but easily outsource to others to do with little to no work on your part. For instance, you might be a web designer that often gets requests to create and add videos to your clients’ sites, but it might either be very time consuming or nearly impossible for you to create nice looking videos to sell as a service even if you could get hundreds to thousands of dollars per sale for them. Instead of just passing on that easy money, why not look for others online who already offer those services, reach out to them, markup their prices (or make them more “done for you” to increase the value and prices you can charge) and get permission to use their testimonials, social proof, examples, sales pages, etc. as your own (o...

How Affiliate Programs Are A Great Way To Bring In More Sales With Less Effort

Image
Want a way to make sales without paying for any ads and with zero risk of losing money in doing so? The obvious answer is a big YES, but very few business owners take advantage of running their own affiliate programs, which can do exactly that! Affiliate programs are where you offer others a cut of any sale that they send your way. When this is done online, there’s traditionally special “affiliate links” that they get from you. When they send people through those links that later buy from your site, they’d get credited for and paid a percentage of the sale. You can do a similar concept offline just by letting others refer your prospects directly (and manually crediting them), or even by handing out special “unique” coupon codes to others to hand out to their prospects so you know where they came from. This could be a special coupon that you hand out, with a code or ID on it, so you know where it came from. Regardless, in either case you only pay them after a sale is made, wh...
