With so much innovation in the business technology world, it can be easy to feel disorientated and switched-off; to think that the hype is just a fad that will pass you by. But the competitive edge you can harness with digital technology can help propel your business into a new period of success – so it’s important to take these tips below to heart, boosting your business’ fortunes into 2020 and beyond.
Streamlined Website
A hodge-podge, amateur website just won’t do in the modern business environment; you’ll immediately be judged by web users and potential customers as untrustworthy and unprofessional if you’re not hosting a slick, streamlined website. WordPress and the rise of template-built websites means that even the smallest local businesses should be able to make a professional standard website in no time – and that should certainly apply to your company. Build web optimization, mobile optimization, SEO principles and more into your site to make it fit-for-purpose in the digital age.
Onboard Software Packages
This tip is absolutely key: you’re unlikely to be able to compete in your industry without some of the time-saving and human error eliminating aspects of digital automation that are taking place across the business world. You can automate a great deal through software packages, including:
- The sending out of emails and marketing communications
- The processing of payroll information and your staff’s pay
- Your accounting, business forecasts and other economic data processing
- Deep-data dives to help form business analytics solutions technology for your company
- Sales monitoring and labelling to help inform future targeting and KYC
The list could go on far longer; the rate of innovation in this field is rapid, producing a number of impressive programs to help businesses cut back on staff and operate on a slimmed-down team of experts. Perhaps your best option, if confused by the wealth of options available to you in the software realm, will be to look at some tech articles describing some of the best in the business.
Building Apps and Services
Finally, no business should consider its work in the digital realm totally complete without at least considering their user experience, or ‘UX’, and the ways in which a new product or service might enhance your customer’s bond with you. Ideally, this will come in the form of an app or another digital helper, like a plug-in or push notification sender, which can help remind your customers that you’re able to help them with products and services.
To build a product such as an app, you’re going to need to consult with some external tech experts who’ll be able to quote you a price and tell you what’s feasible to code into a piece of application software for download. If these conversations leave you feeling hopeful, you should seize the opportunity to publish an app – beating your competition to the next battleground for business.
These tips are designed with smaller companies in mind, aiming to help them digitize and seize growing market shares at a time when the business world is in flux.
