Small business – local searches

Small business can deliver to the whole world via the Internet but there is still a lot of cash to be made by concentrating on local markets. There are now hundreds of local search engines available to use and submit to that claim to deliver specific localized searches.

More and more, buyers are looking online for products or services local to them, a business that is just around the corner always somehow feels safer than another in the next county and search engines, including Google, are enabling the client to find local enterprises by including a map of local businesses in search results. Will your clients find you? Whether you are selling online or off you need to be visible.

86% of consumers use the Internet to find local businesses. (Nielsen NetRatings)
74% of consumers use a search engine to find local retail or services. (Nielsen NetRatings)
The use of search tools to find local businesses grew 58% in 2008 to 15.7 billion searches (comScore).

Basic search engine optimisation is still the best way to stake your claim to local markets.

Small Business Should Go Green

Business – Trust the fear

Starting up a new business is a combination of having hope, believing in yourself and your abilities, understanding your product or service, realizing there is a business opportunity but above all FEAR is there niggling in the back of your mind.

To be scared about taking a giant step towards creating a new business is probably the most important feeling you can use to your advantage – to take your ideas forward. Being afraid means you are asking all the right questions in your head.

Once you have reached the point of no return and have begun the massive task of growing your business, the sense of fear should never leave you – it will protect you until you have complete confidence in yourself and product. Having this confidence and blind conviction in yourself is the state of mind that will eventually lead to your downfall. Trust the fear.

West Buckland Festival

Sorry we have been a bit quiet this month but…We have been working hard on this year’s West Buckland Festival – it is going to be bigger and better than last year, with a contract signed with a ‘real’ International Star from the late 1970’s.

We have had interest from unsigned bands to play (see comment ). We haven’t got plans to extend the festival this year but if there is interest then maybe it is something the committee might consider for next time. Please leave a comment either here or on the festival website if you have an opinion.
