EBA Consulting Ltd have been awarded a pilot study project by one of the public sector enterprise agencies to look at the effects of marketing strategies on the SME sector.

Most companies are immersed in the day to day operation of the business and they sometimes fail to look at their overall marketing strategies with the consequence that sales fall off or fail to meet the necessary break even level.

The most successful businesses recognise the importance of existing customers and how key it is to look after them. Monitoring the performance of your clients, understanding their business as well as keeping in with them by providing good service, quality etc is vital for a long term relationship. As they grow so should you.

Existing customers can be a source for new business and should cost less to generate increased revenue.

We will be selecting a number of businesses from a wide market sector and be studying their marketing efforts, products and strategy for the future. We will then look at the best ways to improve sales. One of the areas we are keen to explore is the telemarketing approach because for the SME this can be a cost effective solution without incurring large permanent overhead structures.

Small business economic confidence survey

In a recent banking survey 80% of SME owner/managed businesses felt the next 12 months would either improve or at least remain the same. The recent conflict in Iraq seemed to have little impact on their businesses with previous concerns now turning into higher levels of optimism.

Of the businesses surveyed 37% planned to increase investment with 34% planning to recruit.

Analysing the survey into market sectors shows the most confident were the Professions followed by Property, Services, Leisure/Tourism, Construction, Retail and Agriculture with the least being Manufacturing/Engineering.

Will UK Interest Rates follow US.

The US federal reserve recently cut interest rates to its lowest level since 1958 now standing at 1% !

The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee meet on July 10th with many commentators and economists believing the cut will be 0.25% down to 3.5%.

This is based on falling consumer demand and weaker than expected economic growth.
