The Small Business News is our free monthly newsletter sent to all who have an interest in improving
the operation and profitability of a small business. The Small Business News began with the December 1999 issue and was originally titled, "e-retailer". Each month features a
link to a business article of the month from Tom Shay, as well as current
information to assist you in your business.
We
invite you to fill in the form below to add your name to the list
of our preferred website visitors. We will send to you on the first day of each month,
our free newsletter containing information about sales tips, tools
on our website, and books we have found that will help you improve your business. Mid-month, you will receive our Small Business Advisory; a short article with actionable business ideas.
As we have
archived all of the past issues of the Small Business News, we invite you to
look through them for information for your business.
Marketing talks about finding your target customer. Unfortunately, those customers are not wearing a shirt with a bullseye on them to help you make that determination. The June Small Business Advisory offers an alternative method for understanding where your customer lives.
It is countdown to the start of the 24th Independent Retailer Month beginning July 1. We work to promote the celebration from a different prospective; that of telling the public of the benefits they receive because they shop at a locally owned independent retailer. We also share reseach that shows the many positive feelings that consumers have about locally owned independent retailers and why they prefer to shop with you.
Article of the Month
Remeber Struther Martin in Cool Hand Luke as he said, "What we have here is a failure to communicate"?
We are going to apply that expression to the software you use in your business. Are you getting what you need from that software?
Book of the Month
Think of how Harley Davidson, Apple, and Campbell's Soup are perceived. Each have a very devout following. We call that cult branding. This month's book we review is, "The Power of Cult Branding", by B.J. Bueno.
All this plus the Internet Tool for Your Business and a staff incentive idea for your business.
