We may have worked with global brands like Coca-Cola but we’re still proud to call ourselves a small business, and one who provides fantastic packaging for other small businesses out there. If you’re starting your own business or wondering how to expand, here are a few tips to get you started:
Connections mean everything
You know the phrase ‘two heads are better than one’ – it’s true. Networking and collaborating with fellow local businesses gives you access to more knowledge and you can support each other.
Start by utilising free social media platforms. If your business is based online there are probably eager people waiting to lap it up. Join topical Facebook groups, communities and promote other online businesses. You may have to try out different platforms to see what works for you!
Be unique!
Price isn’t everything when it comes to customer loyalty – if you provide a high-quality customer experience throughout, your customers probably won’t mind paying a little more.
Take a leaf out of food subscription service Gousto’s book, whilst not the cheapest option they often keep customers coming back with exclusive offers, free events, and tailored services – you can do this too!
Perfect product packaging
First impressions do count, and your packaging is often the first thing your customer sees. Our bespoke boxes are made of high quality, eco-friendly materials that will wow your customers. If you’re testing a new product or are starting at the beginning, we support start-ups by offering a competitive low minimum order of just 30 boxes.
You can keep your costs down because all orders in the UK are delivered to you free of charge and we also provide the option to store your boxes in our secure warehouse so you can place larger orders at a smaller cost per box.
Schedule meetings with yourself!
You are the key to the success of your business, so make sure you set yourself some time to outline goals, a timeline and everything else. It’s easy to get caught up in the hands-on elements of working for your business, but with a trustworthy, well-trained staff you will be able to set time aside to look at bigger goals for your business.
If you’re a business owner, it’s not to late to perfect your packaging… We offer lots of different solutions for branded packaging – get in touch today to see what we can do for you.
