new business idea – Dispatches From The Front

So, you’ve come up with a cool business idea, given it an online presence and now the masses are starting to take notice. Things are going well, but as your business starts to grow you need to find ways to engage customers and get them to part with their cash. One of the best ways to encourage them to hit the buy button is to use reviews.

According to the experts, customer reviews, expert reviews and ratings are extremely effective at boosting customer confidence which, in turn, makes them more likely to make a purchase. As outlined by BrightLocal, 88% of consumers use reviews to determine the quality of a business. Surveying 2,104 US and Canadian consumers, BrightLocal found that only 12% of people don’t read reviews, which suggests that they should be seen as a priority for all online businesses.

If you’re like most, when thinking of a new business venture, idea or concept that you want to start, then writing a business plan is probably the furthest thing on your mind. You just want to dive in to the exciting stuff right? You’re too busy coming up with a catchy name, a logo, colors, designing your new website, picking out office furniture and buying cool office technology equipment to worry about sitting down and writing out a business plan.

Besides, you have most of the ideas in your mind, you kind of have a rough idea of what you want to do and how you are going to do it; the rest of the stuff will just fall into place and take care of itself right?
