Raising a business from nothing isn’t easy. You must first think of how to sell and advertise properly, design your products, think how to distribute them and even indulge in the bureaucratic jungle so your business complies with the law.

And since you’re the one doing and managing all these errands building a business can tire you out. There are so many things to do before even selling one product that it might frustrate those who want quick results or those that want take advantage of a passing opportunity.

Doing them faster is even harder, but it can be done if you’re able to quickly address what your business needs and of course, you shouldn’t spend much time overthinking your strategies.

If you want to make results then you should start attracting the attention of your potential customers. Initiate a quick marketing campaign that can make the name of your startup be spoken and kept in the minds of your desired customers. You can use almost every strategy available at your hand and the quicker it can be executed, the better. Things like content marketing, ads directed towards the social networks and email marketing don’t need much logistics, but they are legit promotional strategies that are always effective.

After you’re confident enough with the results of your marketing campaign then it is time to sell. Leave the door of your business open and hire the most convincing salesmen you find. Being able to quickly raise profits through selling could lead you to new opportunities of development.

Keep in mind that your marketing campaign should never end and now that you have customers going in and out of your business it might be time to bring new ones, you can increase the number of your clients implementing an “aggressive” referral campaign. Convince your current customers that bringing friends to your startup is beneficial for them, offer discounts, extra goods and more exclusive items to those that bring others to buy at your store.

Now that your business is selling and growing you can take the opportunity to advertise any new product or service you’re planning on selling by either giving away free samples or free tryouts. If your business sells food then put up a plate with bits of your new cheese, if you are selling perfumes then offer whoever is walking near your store a free dose of your new cologne, if they liked it and bought it then you just made a profit using a just little of your product.

Building a strong brand is another way of increasing both your sales and your customer base, by giving away your business’ social media networks you can encourage your customers to follow them. Being able to show them your new goods and promotions whenever they are checking their own networks is a must, as it is an easy way to advertise your brand and also the most efficient way to keep them updated with your business’ moves.

To be able to raise a business quickly depends on how much you are able to sell in a predetermined amount of time, executing a nice marketing campaign will help with that. And now that you have built a clientele do your best to keep it, they are the ones paying your business after all.
