No matter what business you are in, it’s fair to say we need to bounce back from last year. We have done our research to bring you the best ways to grow your business in 2021. After reading this guide you will be ready to take your business forward and prepare yourself to bounce back from this pandemic.
What Is Business Growth?
A growing business is one that is developing in more ways than one. There is no sure-fire way to measure growth but there are key pieces of data you track to see growth occur:
- Revenue
- Sales
- Company value
- Profits
- Number of employees
- Number of customers
Your business can see these metrics go up and down over the years but we are trying to make sure they stay up while you bounce back from this recent pandemic.

Manage Your Time Better
What is the one thing that we all have in common; no matter who we are, no matter where we are in the world, what we do, or how much money we have? We all have the same number of hours each day, the same number of days each week, and the same number of weeks each year. How we manage our time, is where we differ!
Some people manage their time much more efficiently than others and are therefore more productive. No matter if I’m talking to business owners or students in education, time management always seems to be a big issue.
Included with your EMS University Membership there is an amazing course designed to help you improve your time management skills with tips, tricks and downloadable resources to help you grow.
Make Outstanding Marketing Content
Do you want to seem more knowledgeable in your field effortlessly? Who wouldn’t?
You can build trust with your customers by educating them in your marketing content. But thinking of continuous marketing ideas is difficult. So why not remarket your past, current and future content using the Buffalo marketing idea.
Our course “Make Outstanding Marketing Content” which is included within EMS University Membership all for $35(£25) per month. The course will introduce essential content marketing techniques, how to leverage your marketing channels, and optimise your website to generate more leads.
Don’t Forget To Market Your Business Offline
We live in a fluid world where technology is changing daily. As more of us are moving online we are forgetting the offline opportunities.
As a business owner, you will need to leverage your offline marketing channels and get them to collaborate with your online channels. This process is called O2O(Online-to-Offline)
Businesses use these channels together to create a complete experience with benefits for the customer. For example:
- Retailers offering “collect in-store for free” rather than paying for delivery
- Retailers returning items purchased online, in-store
- Click and collect – make the purchase online and collect it from the local store. This is popular in the takeaway food and drink industry but it is applicable in other industries, for example, B&Q (DIY and home improvement business)
To learn how to capitalise on this to grow your business this year. We have also included this course in our EMS University Membership. This online course introduces you to How To Complete Market Research That’s Helpful, Generating A Marketing Plan For The Modern World and Create An Online and Offline Marketing Campaign.
