Next on my to-do list: enroll in business school

Tweet

It was never a difficult decision to become a stay-at-home mom. Taking care of my baby, instead of focusing on my career, became my top priority when I first laid eyes on him. I was planning on going back to work when he's a few months older. But he started having asthma attacks when he turned one, so my career was further put on hold.

When my son was in preschool, I tutored a few students in our house. It was a fun and fulfilling way to spend my ME time. Not to say that I was also well compensated. I began selling airline tickets and tour packages to family, friends and friends of friends at that time also.

My small business ventures took a back seat when my son got accepted in his school's varsity team.  But at the back of my head, I now know what to do. I want to go back to school. Hopefully, I can squeeze in business school, in my hectic mommy schedule, next year.

There are lots of other business ideas on my head aside from those, the two mentioned earlier, that I’ve already tried out. I want to learn what to do with all the awesome ideas. I want to make my ideas into a reality.

My sacrifice to become a stay-at-home mom is the best decision that I’ve done in my whole life. I was able to take care of my son and was also able to find out a better career path for me.

Business plan? Check.

Register business? Done.

Promote new business? No idea yet?

You have come to the right place. I have been busy with business strategy research the last few weeks. An effective marketing plan is very crucial in attracting new customers and retaining old customers.

Here are the online and offline marketing stategies that can be used in promoting a business.

1. Website - What better way to promote your business than to make it visible in the world wide web. Do compare the different hosting packages available because some webhosts are more expensive than others.

2. Facebook - Use social media marketing work for your business. You can create a fanpage, group or both. Join the current facebook craze.

3. E-Newsletter - Updating your clients with your current deals. Also a way of informing them, "Hey, we are still available to serve you".

4. Trade Shows - Helpful in showcasing your latest products and services.

5. Banner Stand - Can be used outside your offline store and during trade shows. These banner stands are light weight and easy to transport.

6. Cards - Send your customers a handwritten birthday card. An opportunity to make them feel that you care.

7. Word of mouth - Good service to your clients can earb you more client.

These are just a few of the business strategies that can help you attract more customers. Come back again for updates of the list.

I enrolled in Bo Sanchez's GodWhispers Club. The latest message that I received:

Dear RJ's Mama,


Jump in. Do it. Unless you move, nothing happens.


I empower you,
God

P.S. Plans are good, RJ's Mama. Thinking about your plans is good. Talking about your plans is good. But unless you act, your plans mean nothing.

I better register the small business that I am planning to put up. Actually, I registered it in DTI a few years back so I have a business name already. I better working on it.
