1. How will a US Government shutdown affect your small business?
Regardless of your political affiliation, a government shutdown isn’t a good thing, especially if
your small business has government contracts.
Different businesses may be more or less affected by the possible government shutdown, if
business does fall off, think of it as a time to look for opportunities to learn more, organize, and
trying to find new markets for your product or services.
In any slow periods, you need to evaluate your options, spend time marketing, trying new
markets, working on your social media networking searching for your next client, or selling your
product. You might consider creating a new product, revamping something older into something
new.
Just because there is a lean period, doesn’t mean your thought processes stop and wait for things
to get better. Go out and make opportunities, find new clients that might need what you offer.
In lean periods when you have extra time, create new marketing materials, update your web site,
add new blog posts, your marketing is a never ending learning process.
Lean periods are an opportunity to look at your goals, set new ones, and set your small business
up for success by educating yourself about business, marketing, social media, HTML, and your
niche. Has anything changed in these areas?
You’re probably thinking HTML. You don’t need to be an expert coder, but you should have
some knowledge of HTML.
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) is the language used in many ways; one is to embed
pictures and videos into your blog. You can also embed sites into other sites you might have.
Just because the government may shutdown is no excuse to sit back and do nothing in your small
business.
