For an extra boost both locally and virtually, consider hosting unique events throughout the year. No matter what services you offer, you can use that to your benefit to find ways to connect locally or virtually to your customers from anywhere.

Think outside of the box and connect with your customers in new and inspiring ways that remind them why your company is the best. Starting a small business is hard according to Zeb Evans of Clickup, keeping that business going is even harder. You need to constantly stay on brand, stay current and keep reminding your customers that you exist. One of the only ways to do this is to continue to think differently than the companies around you.
