How to Keep Your Business Continually Growing
Learning how to grow your business isn’t just a worthy goal; growing your business is often necessary for economic well-being and keeping the business afloat. What can you do to get your business beyond the bare sustenance level? Try out some of these tried and true growth strategies to maintain steady growth for your business.
Penetrate an Existing Market
It is commonly assumed that getting new customers is the best way to grow business, but returning customers are your best bet for increasing your sales. It’s easier and more cost-effective to get people who are already buying from you to stick with you than to find new customers and persuade them to buy from you. So focus on ways to keep your customers coming back and turning them into a loyal base for your business.
Extend Market Reach
Opening more operations in new locations is one of the most obvious, yet impactful ways to grow a business. New locations can also be virtual, such as a website with an online store. Another approach is to extend your reach through advertising. Once you’ve identified a new market, you might advertise in select media to target that market. Use social media advertising for younger demographics.
Participate in Trade Shows
Trade shows can be a great way to grow, as they draw those who are already interested in the type of product or service you offer, they can powerfully improve your bottom line. You must carefully select the trade shows you participate in, seeking the right match for your product or service.
Be Diverse
The key to successful growth through diversification is similarity. Focus on the related needs of your already established market or on market segments with similar needs and characteristics. For example, artists who might also sell frames/framing services, or a mountain bike rental business switching to renting skis in the winter season. Discovering and promoting new uses for your products or services is a great way to attract existing customers to buy more and attract new customers.
Export
Expanding into international markets can also be a powerful boost to your business’s bottom line. This requires major time commitment, resources, and comes with risk, but it can be extremely rewarding.
Use what is suitable to your business and your circumstances and get busy developing your growth plan. It is unlikely to experience growth immediately, but whichever way of expanding your business you choose, you will see progress if you commit to it, and can transform your business into all you envision. However, as you grow your business, the new possibilities are likely to also come with new risks.
