Returnal’s Post

This is my son. He wants to raise money for his rugby team and he has prepared a “guess the number game” (there are quite a few dog walkers passing by here); the price is a small thing. He asks for any donations, at the beginning was not very successful, so he decide to change his strategy to motivate people and he offers to unsuccessful player a consolation price, a small chocolate- that is call good marketing!!!- This is a great example on how you prepare the #nextgeneration of #entrepreneurs. Motivate your team, support his initiative, adjust your sales and marketing materials… there is not a perfect sales pitch, but if your team is motivated; they will find a way to adjust it to fit you’re customer needs !!! #enriquelozano #elodiz

The riches are in the niches. But, not all niches are equal. I see businesses most commonly choosing a niche audience. They'll become: "The full-service marketing agencies for law firms". But that just means they're offering a very broad service to a smaller group of clients. Most law firms won't need a full-service marketing agency. Either because they already have one. Or they don't know they need one. A niched audience is much easier to target, but equally difficult to convert. The better, but harder option is to niche the product. Meaning, take the list of services you offer and link them to a problem. "The conversion agency" "The retention agency" "The CPA agency" You then have a narrowed audience by default. Not by vertical or industry. But by who has the problem that you can solve. Just as easy to target, but far less difficult to convert. // Was the advice above useful to you? Would you pay £1 for it? During August I'm dedicating my Linkedin posts to raising money to fund a wish for a seriously ill child with the incredible Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity. Please help us hit the £1,500 target for August that will fund an entire wish for a child. Check it out - https://lnkd.in/eRHsYaYx P.S Feel free to donate more than £1. Good for the charity and great for my ego. #startups #founder #entrepreneur #agency

3 years ago I had an idea to run our business a bit differently. 💭 Give the profit away; - Attract more value-aligned clients. - Hire more like-minded, motivated and talented people into the team. - Do better work as a result. - Give more money away. Rinse, repeat. --- 3 years in and our team has grown to 24 highly skilled people (and lovely humans). Clients are getting results we could’ve only have dreamed of in the past. And we’ve given £147,029 to educational charities. 💰 That model I took a chance on has worked. Is working. And everyone involved is winning. --- I’m so proud of the team. I’m hugely grateful to clients and partners for their support. And I’m inspired every day by Gavin, Bex and everyone at Moving Mountains and Zarach and the work they do. If you haven’t considered an alternative business model maybe it’s time for a rethink. You might just achieve your goals quicker than you could’ve ever dreamed of (and lots more besides). 🤔 Read more about it, along with our Impact Report, here - https://lnkd.in/ePbTHg5g #socialimpact #companyculture #marketingagency

𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝟱: 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 Every day this week, I've posted about income streams for small charities that can generate those all-important unrestricted funds. One promising avenue you might want to explore is trading income - income generated from selling goods and services. In today's blog at The Boiling Frog, you can read about the type of activities this could include, why trading income suits some charities better than others, and how to avoid some common pitfalls. Here's a sneak peek at the do's and don'ts: 𝗗𝗼'𝘀 ✔️ Do align your trading activities with your mission. ✔️ Do undertake market research ✔️ Do start small - test with a pilot before scaling up. ✔️ Do equip your team with the necessary skills to adapt to a commercial environment. ✔️ Do involve all your stakeholders in the development of your trading ventures. 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁𝘀 ❌ Don't neglect your primary charitable activities. ❌ Don't underestimate costs ❌ Don't compromise your organisation's values. ❌ Don't ignore legal requirements. ❌ Don't overlook staff concerns. This is the last of my special series 'Building Sustainable Income for Small Charities'. Hope you've enjoyed the articles this week and, If you're already a fundraising master, then please kindly repost to help reach out to those who are still finding their feet in the sector. #SmallCharityWeek #Sustainability #TradingIncome #Charity

Entreprenuer friends! (Honest answers only) 👇 Do you believe that your business provides value outside of your products or services? If so, what is it? I've recently come across tons of businesses that have additional value besides their main offer. Ex: Donating to charities, using recycled packaging, team community service events, etc. And there's tons of research out there that predicts that businesses that serve a greater purpose WILL be more successful in the coming years. If you're feeling stuck in this area, or want to improve your business's impact, I'm hosting a free workshop on how to, as a small business, provide value THAT MATTERS to your customers (and the benefits that come with it).
