With a Kiddikicks Franchise you’ll have all the advantages of running your own organisation, but with the guidance and advice from an established, successful business model. Here are the 5 key stages of growing a successful business:
Learn About the Industry
Market research is an important part of the preparation process. An effective plan might involve two elements: desk and field research. The former refers to the use of the Internet and social networks to learn about your competitors’ strengths and weaknesses. It is also important to go into the field and speak directly to potential customers. This can help you gauge public demand and it can also allow you to discover key facts that might not have been uncovered during your desk research.
Write a Business Plan
A number of businesses often fail simply because there aren’t clear strategies and objectives. A good business plan can be the difference between success and failure. It allows you to see any problems and shortcomings early on in the process before it’s too late. By writing down a step-by-step guide, you can identify any potential issues and it will force you to find solutions and clarify exactly what is required to make your business a success.
Spread the Word
A great business won’t do you much good if people don’t know about it. Fortunately with Kiddikicks, you will be working with an established company whose brand is known across the country. This shouldn’t stop you, however, from spreading the word about your business throughout the local area. It might even be worth getting to know the media outlets within the area, as local newspapers are often looking for news items.
Network
A great way to improve your business is through networking with fellow franchisees. It is likely that they will have experienced a number of challenges and problems when trying to grow their respective companies and it can be a great way to learn. By joining local trade groups, other franchisees can offer you an insight into the industry. Important contacts are often made at these events and it is important not to ignore this valuable network.
Offer Promotions
Social media can be a great tool for a new business and you can even use it to offer special promotions once you launch. Reward schemes can be offered to existing customers to incentivise them to bring in new customers. Different discounts and prizes are a great way to spread the word about your new company.
