Did
you know?
Small
business is classified by under 100 employees.
Micro businesses are between 1-10 employees. Of all
the micro businesses in Canada, most are home based.
Of all the micro businesses in Canada over 75% are
the major contributor to the family income.
And the average micro business is in business for
13 years! But for many of us - we feel that
if we say we have a home based business - we are saying
we are not successful.
What
to say?
So, if someone asks you if you are
a home based business - feel proud if you can say
yes and maybe add a fact or two about micro businesses!
Then maybe add how you are glad you are able to save
on commute - and the world is a greener place because
of your choices!
Saskatoon
Women in Business Expo
It was a good show and we met a lot of
great women! Did you know that some of the same
challenges women in Saskatoon have are the same challenges
as you are facing? But they also agree that the
best advertising they have ever used os WORD OF MOUTH
advertising.
WOMA
Word of mouth advertising is reported to be 10 times
more effective than any other form of advertising.
In fact recently larger (mega) companies have begun
employing people to bring up their brands in conversation.
Proctor and Gamble reportedly hired women to talk
about Dawn dish detergent - and the results were measured.
Their sales in the areas where the women were hired
- DOUBLED.
Are
you OUT THERE - meeting others, and building relationships?
Are you talking about those you have met? Why
not get out to our dinner
meetings - or coaching sessions?
Make sure you are using the simple tools you have
available to you to get your name out there!
We
hope you have an abundant and profitable week!
