It's a new year, and as we promised you earlier on this week, this year we will be sharing many more tips and much more content with you on how to help your businesses develop. We've all had two horrendous years but we believe it is now time to move forward and start looking ahead. And we can only do this in one way - by having our businesses ready to face the new year and the new opportunities that it will bring along with it.

So let's start with the tips...

1) Know your Customers

In any kind of business, whether you are a school, an agency or a service provider, you can only move forward if you know your customers and your target customers well. Knowing your audience will ensure that you know how to communicate with them, what channels to use to reach them, and how to design your website and your content accordingly.

2) Study the Trends

What worked in 2019 (pre-pandemic) is going to be very different from what will work 3 years later in 2022. The whole world has gone through so much. New Communication channels were developed, new social media channels popped up, the customer journey and the customer expectations changed completely...and it is for this reason that businesses must study the trends first before jumping into anything new.

3) Polish your Branding

Some companies have been quite silent over the past months, especially when it comes to branding and content creation. And who can blame them? Most of our industry was in panic mode. However, it is perhaps time to start snapping out of that mode and start planning ahead. Your branding and your content need to reflect where you want to take your business to in the next year.

4) Be Unique

While it is advisable to follow what other businesses and brands are doing, it is also recommended that you stick to your own plan, your own branding and your own content. You don't want to re-invent the wheel, you want to stand out. And being unique is the only way you can do that.

Just like last year, our How to Tuesday posts over the coming months will be brought to us through a collaboration between Schools & Agents and our sister company BaiLogik. We look forward to hearing from you if you have any questions about any of the tips we've shared today, or if you would like to book a consultation with us to see how we can help you take your business to the next level.
