Double-dip recession is looming above us like a thundercloud. For thousands of local businesses already battered by recent recession a ‘double-dip’ would spell the end. Yet Hampshire based business author Henry Baker says “What we focus on becomes reality. World War Two was not won by worrying about losing. And we will not avoid a double dip recession by constantly focusing on it. Rather, it’s up to each and every one of us to focus on what we can do as individuals to create value for others. It’s time to stop being meek and instead regain our confidence in Britain. We are a nation of ‘winners’ – and it’s time to prove it - again.” Henry suggests three specific areas local business should focus on:
1. ‘Hyper’ customer service. Now is the time to treat serve customers way beyond their expectations.
2. Massive marketing action. Some customers are reticent to spend yet will happily do so if they are show a reason why. The vehicle to show them is direct, measureable marketing.
3. Automation. There are big cost savings and even bigger revenue opportunities for local business willing to embrace ‘online systems’. For example, every local business can for a few pounds a month send value laden communication via email to their customers. When done correctly this will increase profits. Yet over 90% of local businesses aren’t even aware of this opportunity.
