betty buzz: PR & Marketing Top 10

of FINANCE
We asked Claire Gibbons, president of Powerspeak Communications LLC,
to share her top 10 list for marketing and promoting your business.

AND
How are you doing on the checklist?

: name
TO BUSINESS
1. Plan Your Strategy. To be successful in business you’ve got to know where you’re headed. Writing and consistently

busy woman
updating your business plan can help you clarify your business model, targets and marketing strategies.

2. Know Your Brand. What message are you putting out there from how you talk, what you wear, to how you conduct

every GUIDE
yourself in business? How do you want others to perceive you and your business?

3. Know Your Customer. Take the time to really get to know your target customers. Do your market research. LISTEN

to them and ASK questions.

the little black book for

4. Talk Your Walk. You and your employees are the best ambassadors for your brand. Be sure everyone can articulate
concisely and persuasively about the business or product anywhere at anytime.

5. Get Personal. Send handwritten notes on stationery to clients, as well as business leads. Let people know you’re
thinking about them, their business and their needs.

6. Get it Write. Invest in an AP Style Guide. All communications from marketing materials to news releases, ad copy and
media kits should conform to the accepted standard for business communications. Make sure emails are punctuated and spell
checked. These are all extensions of your brand.

7. Tell a Story. How has your business affected people, made their lives better? Sharing a third party account of an
experience with your business is great PR and word of mouth is the best for growing your business.

8. Shop Around. Talk to a variety of vendors when you ask for estimates, and make sure
they understand your needs for the project at hand. Ask them to recommend another way
to accomplish your goals; often their solutions may be less expensive, more efficient
or effective.

9. See and Be Seen. In addition to networking and building relationships, extend

your business’ reach online as well. Get familiar with social media technologies such
as Twitter and Facebook as tactics for extending your brand and reaching your market segments.

10. Mix it up! To effectively support your business you must have a mix of marketing
strategies incorporating public relations, advertising, partnerships and promotions.
Evaluate those strategies regularly to measure and gauge their effectiveness
and ROI.

betty buzz: Small Business Loan Packaging
Securing a business loan means being prepared with the necessary paperwork. Busy woman, Cindi Rourk, Loan Officer with the
Charleston Local Development Corporation, shares advice for putting together the materials you need before applying for a loan.
• Start with an updated business plan. Any “dust” could signal the business owners’ lack of interest (or worse, dedication!)

• Include the financial numbers – a set of projections, broken out monthly for the 1st year and annually for years 2 & 3.
• Show how much the entire project costs, and include how much the owners are investing and exactly how much is needed to borrow.
Lenders typically like to see owners invest 20% or more of the project cost.
• Gather personal information. A current personal financial statement and tax returns for 3 years for every business owner with 20% or
more ownership.
• If you haven’t checked your credit report lately, it’s time. Try www.annualcreditreport.com. Dispute any inaccuracies before submitting,
or explain the information in the application.
• Describe the collateral offered to secure the loan in detail.

• Be prepared for any questions the lender may have for you.
• Don’t take rejection personally! Business loans are not personal loans – banks can decline
because of issues related to their bottom line, not yours.
• Don’t go it alone. Contact your closest SCORE office or the Small Business Development Center
for free business consultation (www.smallbusinesscharleston.org).
• If declined by traditional banks, try an alternative lender like the Charleston Local
Development Corporation (www.charlestonldc.com).
