Increasing business revenue can be a tough conundrum to crack. There are lots of things to consider as a small business owner. This can include planning and strategy, finance and accounting, compliance and legal, marketing and sales, customer service, hiring and HR. Not only do you have to handle all these aspects, but you also have to develop a good understanding of them too in order to really ramp up your growth. 

Here at Eze Talk, we’ve been supporting businesses of all sizes across Cheshire, and the rest of the country for years, so we thought we would share a few ways that you could improve your business and increase revenue. Implementing these ideas can really make a big difference for businesses in any industry!

Read on to find out more.

• Be Unique

This may sound simple and straightforward enough, but it’s not as easy as it seems. In order to really grow, you need to be unique and stand out from your competitors. This comes down to many elements within your business – your branding, your offering, your customer care etc. You want to drive people to you as they know that the experience they will have with you is unlike anything they can get elsewhere. Just look at some examples, such as The Red Cross, Apple, Subway, Adidas, and Google. All of these brands are unique in their own way, differentiating themselves from the rest of the competition on the market. This is what your business also needs to be doing.

Find a unique presence by researching your audience, value proposition, and competition. Not just that though, but also complete some customer surveys, connect with customers, and know what they like and don’t like. To increase revenue, you need to reinvigorate your business and create loyal customers. And to help with that, you can also improve your customer service.

• Streamline Goals

Having too many goals and dreams will only work against you. That’s because you’ll lose focus on what the business actually needs, instead of aiming too far ahead of where you’re at. So it’s best to streamline your goals and be much more realistic. Revenue goals have to be considered and factored into this equation as well. Take it one step at a time and you’ll grow. When these goals are determined, you can work on the tasks needed to achieve them all. Have a look at where you’re currently at and set the challenge of boosting the business’s revenue goals by the end of the year. This will help motivate and inspire you to reach those end-of-year targets.

• Boost Employee Productivity

The productivity of your employees is key to increasing revenue. By helping to improve it, they’ll gain a sense of purpose, provide better customer service, and allow the business to achieve better revenue generation. These benefits aren’t short-term either, they’re long-term! The more work they can produce on a daily basis, the better it is for your business.

But how can employee productivity be boosted? There are lots of ways for you to do so. Employee productivity can be boosted if you provide them with adequate broadband and work mobiles. If they’re able to work faster and communicate with each other better, then their productivity will increase. And at Eze Talk, we have broadband and mobile solutions for businesses of all sizes!

• Use Effective Marketing Strategies

Marketing is vital when it comes to increasing revenue. With it, you can reach new customers and get your business out there into the world, showcasing what you do and what you can offer. That’s why you need an effective marketing strategy. Having one in place will allow you to take your business from one level to the next, ensuring revenue goals are met as a result. Marketing strategies may include content marketing, inbound marketing, social media marketing, search engine optimisation, public relations, referral programmes, and more. Increasing revenue takes time and patience, but with effective marketing strategies, you can slowly grow your brand and be able to meet your goals. 

• Focus On Customer Retention & Loyalty

Finally, you need to retain customers and find ways to keep them loyal to your business. Proactively identify trends and changes, focus on how to make your customers feel truly valued, and install a loyalty program so that they are more likely to feel appreciated and return to your business. Giving them incentives to shop with you again will help create loyalty.

A reliable phone system can go a long way towards achieving this. Being able to get through to your customer service team easily will boost the chances of your customers finding solutions to their problems and having a positive overall experience. Phone systems that are never working, always engaged or down most of the time will ruin your chances of making this a reality. And at Eze Talk, we can ensure you have reliable phone lines that won’t let you down!
