Reasons for Failure

Startup Spark: You created your business this year, but now, looking back, you wonder if it’s all been a waste of time. Here are just some of the reasons your business maybe failing - and best of all they’re easily corrected!

And although these hints are for online businesses, if you own a brick & mortar place of business, many of these apply to you too.

1. You don’t offer free original content. People use this to understand you and get to know you as an expert they can trust,

2. You don’t use a signature file on your e-mails. It’s a selling opportunity that’s often missed.

3. You don’t have your own domain name. Even in this day and age using a domain that isn’t yours (such as tripod) is just bad and makes you look less serious about your business.

4. You don’t test and improve your ad copy. Testing is the key to finding out what works.
