November 24
Small Business Saturday is a day for everyone--from the business owners who create jobs to the customers who buy locally--to support small businesses that invigorate the economy and keep communities thriving. It began in 2010 when American Express founded Small Business Saturday to help small businesses get more exposure during one of the biggest shopping weekends of the year. Last year, over 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses on the day.

Small Business Owner Lessons
from Lady Gaga
In roughly four short years, Lady Gaga, the eccentric pop star phenom has become a household name by building an iconic brand that has resulted in earnings of nearly one hundred million dollars last year... What can small business owners learn from Lady Gaga's business journey? We can learn that your brand is not just about your logo, products, and services, it's the personality of your business. Think of your business as a person and how it would think, feel, and interact with customers.* In his article "Small Business and Entrepreneurship", James Bird Guess lists Lady Gaga's lessons that small business owners can use to build a powerful brand and spark gigantic growth. - Be Touchable
- Stand for Something
- Create a Community
- Be Authentic
Be Touchable. Your business must not only be online, but you must now have a mobile presence as well. Bill Gates said "by the end of 2002, there will be only two kinds of businesses: those with an Internet presence, and those with no business at all." Even if you're already online,you must not make the mistake of only communicating about your products and services, you must also be connecting with existing and potential customers. Lady Gaga posts to Facebook and tweets to her fans about five times daily. She interacts with fans by not just announcing her products, but sharing her personality, photos, inspiring them to support causes, and most of all thanking her fans who she calls her "little monsters" for their continued support. It is no surprise that she has more twitter followers (over 20 million) than anyone on twitter. More next week. *March 30, 2012, in Small Business and Entrepreneurship, by James Bird Guess International Success Academy. |
