How can you market your business on a budget? 🤔

We interviewed Ian de Cordova, Digital Boost mentor and small business owner, to learn how he markets businesses on a tight budget 💰

Here are Ian's top ways to get seen by your customers for £0:
👉 Get a Google Business Profile: It's free to do and helps you build up a great reputation with both your customers and Google!
👉 Make sure your website is customer-ready: Your website is your digital storefront that's open 24 hours a day - make sure it's up to scratch to make buying from you as easy as possible
👉 Get clear on your social strategy: Focus on creating content that's valuable and connects with your audience, the sales will follow

From 1 sale a month ➡️ to over 300 🤯

That's the power of creating a website that actually converts 👆

We interviewed Gary, founder of Eastnole last year to find out what he did to turn a tricky website into a thriving ecommerce site!

Here are 3 steps Gary took to build a high-converting website:

1️⃣ Use simple website builders: Most SMEs don't need custom-built sites, drag-and-drop editors work just as well!

2️⃣ Focus on your niche: Gary stopped selling to "everyone" and started talking specifically to runners -the results speak for themselves

3️⃣ Watch the data: Use heat maps to see exactly where your customers are dropping off. The more data you have, the better you know your customers!

Every great business starts with an idea 💡

It could be a personal need, a gap you’ve noticed in the market, or a personal passion that leads to that moment where you think ‘Should I start a business doing this?’.

That’s where most people get stuck. What first step should you take? Maybe imposter syndrome kicks in and you think you don’t know enough or that starting a business isn’t for you.

Would you believe that some of the most successful female founders in the UK had the same doubt? They’ve been through the process, and now they’re sharing their learnings and experience with you to help you get started too! 🤩

Introducing Begin: a free course for aspiring female entrepreneurs 💪

Begin was created in partnership with and their amazing community of female founders, and sponsored by NatWest.
