Leverage your website as an Innovation Platform.
As a small business owner, you have many advantages. You can be nimble. You can be creative. You can test new products, services and solutions without the need for approval from 17 stakeholders. Capitalize on your opportunities by making CHANGE a core part of your business. And leverage your website as the ultimate in flexible innovation solutions.
To that end, here are 5 ways to use your website as an Innovation Platform to propel your business to the next level and to leave your competition in the dust:
- Empower Customers Try turning an industry on its head by empowering customers to create their own products. Threadless.com and Zazzle.com are great examples of this.
- Automate Try turning a manual, time-consuming process into an automated solution, like BizFilings has done with business incorporation and LLC creation.
- Become the Thought Leader Prove to the world that they should look to you for ideas and insights. A great example of this is The Concrete Network. That’s right — CONCRETE. You can become a thought leader in literally ANY field.
