5 Ways We Help Small Businesses (that have nothing to do with graphic design!)
Choosing who to invest your time and money in when first starting a business can be challenging. If hiring a designer and/or social media manager to get you up and running has been on your mind, we want you to find the perfect fit for your business (and yourself.)
In addition to completing the task at hand, here are 5 ways we can help your small business.
1) We maintain the focus of the project
Many small business owners come to us with initial ideas of what they’re needing. Those initial ideas sometimes spiral into a long list of ideas and projects that can be overwhelming and may seem unmanageable.
At Ollie Kat Design, we help break down your objectives and align them with your business goals. We can also create phases to help accomplish your priority items first and then work our way down the list to get you where you’re wanting to be.
Working in phases helps prioritize needs, makes tracking your progress and budget easier, and gives you short-term goals to reach faster.
Our clients understand what needs to happen first, in order to move to the next phase. We communicate with our clients every step of the way to ensure they never feel forgotten.
2) We advise on marketing tactics
As a small business owner or entrepreneur, you probably have an idea of what you want to achieve, but you might not know exactly how to get there. We can help with that.
We will brainstorm with you to clearly define your objectives and then provide you with our suggestions of how to proceed.
Some of the ideas we provide will be marketing vehicles that we offer services for, others will be options that you will need to reach out to other businesses to fulfill. We have many great options for business resources, many local, that we can suggest for fulfilling your other marketing objectives.
3) We connect you with other local resources
As previously mentioned, we have many connections that we can put you in contact with or suggest reaching out to.
Much of owning a business has to do with what you know, who you know, and how you go about getting where you want to be.
From our extensive history in the marketing industry, we have experience working with many different printers, advertising companies, news media, and more. We also have experience with event planning and working with local venues.
4) We understand small business needs
Who better to understand what it’s like to be a small business owner, than another small business owner?
We understand how much you have to juggle on a daily basis to run your business. New businesses are even harder to operate because everything in new to you and you’re having to learn as you go, usually with limited resources.
Our services provide a since of relief to you. Once we come on, we take ownership of our assigned projects and come to you for direction initially, feedback during, and approval at the end. That’s it. We keep the process simple and take up as little of your time as possible so you can focus on other important things for your business.
5) We actually care about the success of your business, not just the project
At Ollie Kat Design, we actually CARE. Instead of promoting our one-off design services, we come to you with brand design, social media management, and monthly design service packages. The reason for this is, we want to see it through. We want to see your business thrive and grow as a result of our joint efforts.
Our goal is to form long lasting relationships with our clients. We want to know your business inside and out so that we can provide services that will benefit your business, goals, and revenue to the fullest.
Ollie Kat Design is a boutique design firm meaning, we have a limited number of clients we can serve on an ongoing basis. We are selective of the relationships we form and want to make sure our values align with those of our clients.
