Small Business Tips: How to Boost Your Bottom Line

July 16, 2015

Most business owners are devilishly obsessed with their bottom line.

When they’re not busy stressing about sales figures or trying to cut costs, they’re attempting to boost employee productivity in an effort to help the company grow and to enjoy some of the profit themselves.

Of course, it’s easy to imagine entrepreneurs squirreling away hordes of cash and counting it with an evil grin on their face before letting out a maniacal laugh – although the reality is often much different.

In fact, there are a huge number of hurdles business owners must leap to reap the rewards of their hard work, including the adoption of new technology, streamlining their processes and boosting their marketing strategy.

Consequently, here are our top tips on how your small business can boost its bottom line …

  1. Supercharge Your Technology

It’s no secret that technology in the workplace is moving at lightning pace, so if your company is living in the dark ages, it could not only be affecting your competiveness in the market but also narrowing your profit margin.

One way to keep pace with technology AND cut costs is to digitise your HR solutions, allowing you to quickly and efficiently keep tabs on payroll, as well as crucial time and attendance details, all at the click of a button.

  1. Streamline Your Processes

As a business owner with their finger on the pulse, it’s vital you know just how efficient your workforce is, what the sales figures are likes and whether you have enough cash in the hopper to make sure the doors don’t close permanently.

It’s a lot to deal with, admittedly, but by automating your business and implementing a system where all working hours and tasks are centralised, it’ll allow you to cut down on administrative staff and focus your efforts on areas that require a shove in the right direction.

  1. Boost Your Marketing Strategy

With digital marketing enjoying unprecedented success in recent years, you may be forgiven for thinking that other marketing techniques are as dead as the dinosaurs – but there are many advantages of looking beyond digital.

Indeed, print marketing can be extremely useful at a local level, with newspapers still a valuable informational source for a regional audience. Importantly, it’s vital to take a multipronged approach to marketing, as several touchpoints are better than a reliance on a singular strategy.
