Share Expenses, Take A Partner
One of the most powerful business strategies in the world is to partner with a similar, but noncompeting business. Many successful businesses do this all the time. Find a professional who offers a related service, but that doesn’t compete directly with yours, and share marketing collateral, office space, or other business expenses, even marketing.
Lawyers and CPAs do this all the time, especially if they target the same clientele. For instance, a lawyer that specializes in corporate law and an accountant that specializes in corporate accounting can partner by sharing office space, sharing the same marketing space on billboards, flyers and brochures, and even television and radio. You can also partner by going in together on a website and sharing office supplies and equipment. There are many ways to you can partner with complimentary businesses and services. Look around in your area for similar businesses with similar goals and see how you can share resources to reach the same target audience. It will save you a lot of money in the long run on business expenses.
