PART 2 – DIVERSIFY and then DIVERSIFY some more!!
The 2nd way to Increase Revenues is to Diversify your business. Largely, due to the economy, we have been given the opportunity to take a peripheral look at our business and ask ourselves,
• “What else can I do with the product or service I already have”?
• “What related product or service can I offer to my already existing client base”?
• “What completely different product or service can I bring in to serve a completely different client base”?
Many small businesses grow by taking opportunities to diversify.
Simply put, these are the forms Diversification:
• New, related products or services to existing customers=RELATIONAL DIVERSIFYING
• New markets for existing products=HORIZONTAL DIVERSIFYING
• New products for new markets=PROBATIVE DIVERSIFYING
The ones that seek out different market segments are the ones that will most likely survive the present environment. Again, simply put companies do this:
• Take a look at their existing product or service
• Take a look at their current client and market base
Then they take a step back and ask, “Is there another demographic or psychographic segment that could use my product or service”? and “Can I adapt to offer another potential product or service or adapt to open up to another potential client pool”?
I would love to explore this with you, so give me a call at Matrix Leadership, LLC, 775.884.6161, and let’s get started creating more income through Diversifying.
