Today’s Tip

Welcome back to our 6-part series on scaling your business. Yesterday, we discussed the importance of nurturing existing relationships. Today, we'll focus on expanding your customer reach.

Growth Tip 2: Expand Your Reach

Don't limit your business to a single geographic area or industry. Explore adjacent markets and identify new customer segments. This can involve:

  • Targeting different demographics: Consider factors such as age, income, and lifestyle to identify potential new customers.

  • Selling to businesses in related industries: If you sell office supplies, for example, you could target businesses in the construction or healthcare industries.

  • Expanding into new geographic areas: Research the demand for your products or services in different regions and consider factors such as competition and market saturation.

By diversifying your customer base, you can reduce your reliance on a single market and increase your overall revenue.
