Supporting Businesses
For most people, the 2009 recession is depressing. However, a number of supporting businesses are popping up to help larger companies out of their slump. These little “think tanks” can provide fresh ideas that can be the catalyst to new earnings and savings. Often times, they can provide sales and marketing training to give teams the tools they need to succeed. They provide analytics assessments that can show a business owner exactly what’s working and what’s not working in terms of marketing strategy. They can link a company up with social networking, web copy, website design and e-commerce marketing strategies. Here’s a look at some of the top new startups.
Hiring a supporting businesses firm to cover your marketing campaigns can be a real money-saver in some cases too. Many company leaders want to take their offline advertising efforts and put them online but don’t know the first thing about pay-per-click, affiliate marketing, keyword optimization, social networking and e-commerce marketing. An outside firm can provide you with all these services, with tips on how to move forward, or will even come to your business and present training workshops for your staff members to bring them up to speed. With today’s competitive environment, there’s no room for dinosaurs!
Search engine optimization (SEO) is another area where supporting businesses thrive. Every homepage internet design should have searchable keywords, image tags and web copy that attracts visitors to the site. Professional SEO experts use a variety of analytic programs that let them know what industry-related terms people are looking up, what the most competitive search terms are and what words are best incorporated into a business’s homepage. By effectively designing your homepage with these factors in mind, your site will become a magnet for web traffic, thus increasing sales. Of course, some webpages have fundamental problems that send prospective clients fleeing. An SEO expert can let you know how many people are visiting, what pages they’re looking at, how long they’re browsing, which pages are sending clients elsewhere and where these dissatisfied visitors are going next. This research can be invaluable to a business.
Sometimes you may find you need supporting businesses to do your dirty work. The debt collecting business is one that seems recession-proof. Even though you end up paying the firm 10 to 60% of the outstanding debt, it’s better than getting nothing. Before you hire debt settlement or collecting help, be sure to contact the Better Business Bureau or the International Association of Professional Debt Arbitrators to make sure they’re legitimate. Similarly, banks have been calling in mortgage and foreclosure rescue companies to save nearly 1.7 million homes from foreclosure in 2006-2007. Before hiring a foreclosure assistance company, be sure to check with the Federal Trade Commission to be sure the company isn’t stewing in legal trouble.
