Thinking About Starting Your Own Business?
Go On! You can do it!
Although it may seem daunting at first, starting your own business will probably be one of the most rewarding things you will ever do. But where do you start?
Once you've got your business idea together you need to think about the best ways for your customers to find you. Pushing your products or services on social media is a great place to start. Setting up a business page and getting all your friends and family to like it and send it out to all of their friends instantly increases your reach.

Registering with Google business is always a good start...and it's completely free! If people are searching online for a product or service 'near me' Google will show a list of local businesses at the very top of the page. A perfect way to advertise for free especially if you provide a local business. You don't even need a website
to appear in these searches, just a phone number & email address so customers can contact you.
Getting your business registered with local listing and business websites is also a good free way to advertise.
Deciding to get a website
for your business can be a tough decision. For a lot of people searching online for a service or product is the first thing they do when looking for something specific. But having a website does not necessarily mean people will find you as soon as they search for one of your key words. Getting up high in search engine rankings takes a lot of time and dedication.
Here at Lollipop Rocks we design pay monthly websites
which are SEO optimised, which means we design all of our websites so they are ready to be found by search engines but the rest is up to you. Having a blog
which you update regularly is a great way to boost SEO and something we recommend to all our customers.
Advertising your business is really the best way to get customers to your site, but can be a costly expense when first starting out. It's important to set aside a substantial part of your budget for advertising....It can be a bit trial and error figuring out what route of advertising works best for your business.
Saving money elsewhere is also key when starting your own business from scratch. At Lollipop Rocks, we are here to help small businesses get off the ground. We create websites at a fraction of the cost of large design agencies, we let you pay monthly, and we do not ask you to pay any money upfront. That's pretty helpful!
We can also help with branding and logo designs....whatever we can do to help you get set up, we will! So if you are thinking of starting your own business and want to have a chat, drop us a message
or give us a call on 01565 745 025.
