Design matters: keep it simple

This morning I met with a couple young, newly minted business owners to talk about updating their website. Besides talking about the vision they had for their presence online, we also had a small chat about some of the work they’d been doing behind the scenes so they could relaunch a business they’d just taken over and make it their own. I was really impressed with their focus and the grind they’ve been on to make things happen. It occurred to me that for small business owners, it’s the work we do when no one is watching that leads to success. And there’s plenty of it. So here’s to you small business owners, grinding away to put a smile on the faces of your customers and bring value to your community. Keep on grinding! #townsville #townsvillesmallbusiness #townsvillelocal #townsvillebusiness #townsvillecafe

“One prerequisite for achieving creative confidence is the belief that your innovation skills and capabilities are not set in stone...in other words, you need to start with a growth mindset.” Being a manager or running a business is a constant battle between feeling like you’re in over your head and felling confident you have the ability to make things happen. It also requires a heap of creativity, whether you realise it or not. This book, “Creative Confidence” is a great read and may help you to realise your own creative confidence. #goodreads #townsville #townsvillesmallbusiness #townsvillebusiness #townsvillelocal #townsvillemarketing #marketing #digitalmarketing
Don’t do social media just for the likes and comments. Yes, they’re import to a point - they create awareness - but one of the primary goals for the connection you’re building with your audience through social media really needs to be about converting them into customers. Don’t do social media just to do social media. Do it for a business outcome. #townsville #townsvilleshines #townsvillelocal #townsvillebusiness #townsvillesmallbusiness #townsvillefood #townsvillefitness #townsvillephotographer #townsvillehairdresser #townsvillecoffee #townsvillecafe #smallbusiness #business #marketing #digitalmarketing #socialmediamarketing
No vulnerability = no creativity. No tolerance for failure = no innovation. #innovation #creativity #leadership #townsville #townsvillesmallbusiness #townsvillebusiness
The importance of good design can’t be overstated. People prefer easy. Reduce friction for your customers. Make it easy for them to do business with you. Easy to buy from you. It took me a few moments to figure out what to do with this buzzer. And if your website or direct email marketing or any part of the process your customers go through to do business with you is anything like what you see in this picture (unnecessarily complex, confusing and time consuming), you’re missing out on opportunities to build a connection with customers who decide you’re just too hard to do business with. Where could you make improvements or reduce friction for your customers? Maybe it’s the phone tree they have to go through before talking to an actual human; maybe your paper based, manual ordering system could be replaced with an online store; maybe your returns policy needs to be reviewed; maybe your website has too much information on it... Whatever it is, a few small changes can make a huge difference for your business. #townsville #townsvillebusiness #townsvillesmallbusiness #business #smallbusiness #design #webdesign #marketingdigital

Running a small business is tough. We put our hearts and our souls into what we do. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. At times, we feel like giving up. But, it’s at these times that we need to push through and remember that there is no growth without resistance. No success without overcoming challenges. We when realise that the obstacle to success is the path to success, we get closer to achieving our goals. The airplane after all, takes off against the wind, not with it. #townsville #townsvillesmallbusiness #smallbusinesstownsville #supportlocaltownsville
