What Are the Best Practices for Boosting Your Small Business?

Jun 18, 2023 · 4 minutes to read

Noosting your small business

The most successful businesses are ones that are always looking for ways to improve. This doesn’t always have to mean big changes to how you work. Even small adjustments to your workflow or how you view parts of the business could lead to big benefits over time. Sometimes boosting your small business is less about disrupting and more about focusing on the essentials.

Here are nine best practices for boosting your small business that may seem simple, but could completely revolutionize how you do business.

1. Set SMART goals

Setting goals is an important part of small business success. Goals are a tool that can help your business move forward. The best goals are easy to measure and know when (or if) you have completed them. Try using the SMART acronym—Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound—to set your business goals and keep yourself accountable for reaching them.

2. Monitor trends

Outside events can greatly impact your small business. This can be anything—a new local law, industry shakeups, viral social media trends, or a global pandemic—that has the potential to change or disrupt your operations. Staying on top of current trends and events could help you stay one step ahead.

3. Keep tabs on the competition

Look to your competitors to learn how to better reach your customers. Find out what you can about their marketing methods by following them on social media, signing up for their newsletters, and looking at their other advertising. Their techniques might work for you, especially since you are going after the same customers.

4. Follow your finances

Accurately recording your business finances may help your small business become more profitable. Careful accounting helps you maintain a budget, track unpaid invoices you are owed, and maximize tax deductions. Hiring an accountant can help ensure you maintain accurate bookkeeping, especially if you lack these financial skills yourself.

5. Build an online presence

Most customers expect to find small businesses online. Your business website is just the beginning—you may also need a Google My Business profile, social media accounts, to respond to reviews on popular rating sites, and create a solid SEO strategy. Building your online presence helps customers find you, but also helps them get to know your brand, products and services, and professionalism.

6. Ask for reviews

Reviews help customers validate their purchase. They want to know they are getting quality before they buy, and reviews or customer testimonials help many make purchasing decisions. Ask loyal customers to leave you a review on Google or other review aggregator sites. You might also want to feature the best reviews on your website or in social media posts.

7. Create a safe workplace

No one wants to work in an unsafe environment. Even if your occupation or industry is considered high-risk, employees still expect their workplace to do everything possible to minimize the chances of injury. Creating a safe workplace can help improve employee morale, but it could also help you keep your business expenses low by reducing the number of workers’ comp claims your business makes.

8. Consider business insurance

Starting a small business takes a lot of time and effort. Unforeseen events—anything from a lawsuit to a fire in your office—could create an expensive set back. Business insurance can help protect what you are building by shielding your finances from certain costs. There are many types of business insurance available that can save you the out-of-pocket expense of defending or rebuilding your small business.

9. Take a break

Small business ownership isn’t for everyone. It’s hard work, and even if it is your true calling, you may still need to step back from time to time. A vacation can help you recharge and regain your enthusiasm for your business. You may even think of more ways to boost your business while you relax!
