    How important is email marketing in business? Do you need a separate specialist for this?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:26 PM PDT

    I opened a small business a few months ago, nothing global - a small boutique of floristry and delivery of bouquets. After working as a florist for so many years, I decided it's time to start my own shop.

    The only emails I write to my clients are gratitude letters, thanking them for choosing our company and my best wishes. I did this myself without involving my SMM specialist in the process. She didn't want to be responsible for this, in addition to her direct tasks saying that we need another person for email marketing. But my friend began to carp me, stating that I'm losing an excellent channel for making money and that I urgently need to start paying attention to this, or I'll lose clients.

    But let's be honest, it's one thing when you send an email to confirm an order or a few lines of thanks, and it's totally different when you spam customers with a constant reminder of yourself. It's very annoying.

    Personally, it pisses me off that I have to waste time in the morning to clear my mailbox of various promotions and offers that don't interest me after I registered for some free webinar or ordered something on the Internet. For example, it was enough to enter scribd just once, and for the second week, I receive letters from them with different proposals. I deliberately didn't unsubscribe to see how many letters they will send me. And I already regret my decision.

    I'm wondering how email marketing affects profits and if there is any ideal formula for the frequency of sending emails not forcing your customer to unsubscribe or add your address to spam. And do I need to hire someone to do this? Or is it easier to add work to my copywriter ordering texts for the email newsletter and using services like Folderly or Mailchimp?

    I'd be grateful for any advice. Thanks in advance.

    Letterhead Question

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 06:55 PM PDT

    This is a really odd question, but I find myself in need of sending some business documents via postal mail…

    So, as I print these out to mail, is it customary to use the full business letterhead for page one, and the remainder on regular stationary having perhaps just the company logo, or is it customary to use the full business letterhead on every page of the printed letter?

    Thanks. I've been running this business for years, and I'm running into this etiquette issue for the first time…

    Is re-branding always a good thing?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:45 AM PDT

    Hello everybody! I wonder how many of you have tried to do some re-branding for their business. How did it end up? My business partner and I own a small gym in our neighborhood. I cannot say that our gym is brand new and that it's the perfect place. So, of course, it needs some significant improvements. We bought this almost destroyed gym and made this place perfect for guys where they can work out. Seriously, we don't have any ladies around since they are freaked out from this place.

    So, my business partner suggested we do a little bit of "re-branding" and add a possibility for ladies to work out. Besides, he told this company he found on https://liquidcreativity.com.au/ has already helped some businesses to improve. How many of you tried to hire someone to help them out with the business? Did it work for you, and how long did it take for you to cover all costs?

    On the one hand, I know that opening some female sections will bring many new customers. Since we live in the neighborhood where you can find many stay-at-home mums, they all go to the local yoga studio, a couple of blocks away from our place. So, basically, it is just one competitor around.

    But, on the other hand, we also need to invest some money, and we just don't have them. It means that we will need to apply for a credit to pay those guys for re-branding. Apart from that, we will also need to invest some money to re-arrange our place or make ladies' changing and shower rooms. I'm pretty sure this gonna cost us a fortune. I'm just not sure if we are ready for the changes like this. Obviously, I'm also worried that this plan is not gonna work out for us. So, we might end up owing a bunch of money to the bank.

    Long story short, we either take this risk and apply for credit or keep making money on what we have without any re-branding and stuff like that. But, there is a probability that someone will open up another place, and everyone will rush there. What would you choose?

    Is there any possibility of running a business and live far away from it?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 09:54 AM PDT

    Hello there! I'm seeking a piece of advice from those who successfully run their own business. Mainly I'm interested in working remotely or not working at all. How do you manage to do it, and what kind of business do you have? As you can guess, my dream is to make money remotely without dedicating 100% of my time to my business.

    I currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina. But I wanna move somewhere closer to the seaside. For instance, I visited a couple of weeks ago Myrtle Beach South Carolina. It is a beautiful place, at least I like it. Besides, I've realized that I wanna move permanently somewhere closer to the ocean. I thought of moving somewhere closer to the beach after I retire from my job. Hopefully, my kids will continue my business. But, on the other hand, I don't wanna wait that long.

    Besides, I found a couple of cute condos for sale on Myrtle Beach. You can see the area from the picture I've uploaded below. But I don't think that their offer will still be relevant in 20-30 years. Still, I don't believe that my business is that successful to sell it for a reasonable price and live carefree for the rest of my days.

    https://preview.redd.it/pfk4babi4qk71.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63b61759fd87f3a96a6a1e2fad30cdd3352b4b9c

    That's the reason I'm looking for opportunities to control my business remotely. But the issue is that all managers that hire are complete idiots pursuing similar dreams as I do. None of them wanna work to make money. I need to control them almost the entire time, so they won't make a mistake. I have a small logistics business, and most of the time, I speak with our main customers directly. I've tried to train my employees to do it for me, but it seems like none of them knows how to talk to clients anymore. If I hire someone relevant for this job, they open their own company and take some part of my regular clients. How do you deal with that?

    That's why I'm asking a piece of advice from those who have become financially independent from their own business and don't spend their entire time at work.

    Responsive website design, anyone?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 10:24 PM PDT

    I believe responsive websites can no longer be ignored in 2021. More and more businesses are preferring mobile-friendly website design over traditional one. I recently realized its importance after reading this DIY responsive website design guide on the internet. Happy I came across it.

    i want just a few promotional products with custom logo, but.

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 07:38 PM PDT

    hello, I'm looking for some promotional stuff such as little flashlights and keychains but I only want a sample or just like 2-3 of each product, I tried all of the imprint websites and they all have a minimum purchase of 50 or more, I just want some samples, I have tried 4imprint.com, imprint.com, promodirect.com, etc. I did try vistaprint, which I don't think all of there stuff has a minimum purchase however there products are very expensive, but since I only need a few it might be my only option.

    Should the founder set up a fixed monthly income from the business?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:05 AM PDT

    I'll try to be brief about it.

    2 years ago I started working for a startup and now the founder has invited me and 1 more co-worker to join the business as partners with a small share.

    Here are some of the conditions for this:

    - each of us stays in the business for at least 4 more years (at the end of the 4 yrs we get a 3-4% share of the business)
    - we have a fixed income for the next 4 years, not too much, but a bit above average on the market
    + some other conditions regarding availability etc.

    The founder, however, doesn't have a fixed monthly income from the business but uses it as a private ATM. He travels a lot, lives in an expensive city, spends a lot on wellbeing etc.

    I know it's his business, but if we are conditioned to stay on a fixed wage for 4 years, shouldn't he do the same? Say I receive 2k/month, the way I look at it, he should also say "hey, I take 10k/month from the business" but just keep it under control.

    All of our efforts at the moment go into building the business and we look carefully at every dollar we spend because we have a limited number of clients and we need to invest in marketing. This is why my (and the other partner's-to-be) wages are fixed, and not super high so that we can have more money to invest in marketing, building a platform, getting the best people to work with etc.

    I don't know how to tell him about this, but I don't think it's fair for him to take as much money as he pleases from this business, as long as in 4 years I will have 4% from the value of the business.

    Say we make 100k/month, 4% of that is 4k. Maybe after we pay all the employees and taxes we remain with 50k. That is still 2k that is my part. But if he continues to take money from the business as he pleases, in 4 years time the business might not get to a 1-2 Mil net worth as it should, but much lower.

    How do you think I should go about this?

    Newbie to the business World, How should I send a certain email?

    Posted: 31 Aug 2021 02:34 PM PDT

    Hello!

    I have recently been hired by a decently sized company. It's my first job that isn't a wage slave position. It's a work from home position, and I met my managers for the first time yesterday. They gave me a list of things to look into / study for my position that afternoon and said I would meet with one of my team members so they can give me a primer on what they've been working on. Today, I didn't receive any emails so I was just working on things that would help my work-flow be efficient when I actually do start. They mentioned when they introduced themselves to me that the start would be a little slow and that I would need some patience, however... I didn't receive any contact today. I responded to the email that said I would meet with a team member yesterday, asking when I could expect that meeting to happen, and I received no response.

    So now, to my question, how do I, respectfully and professionally, ask for an update on that meeting or just an update in general. I feel like anything I can think of to say will sound like I'm trying to rush them or rush the onboarding process, but I'm not, I just didn't receive any communication on what I should have done today and it concerns me. I appreciate any and all input.
