Why is Business better today then 10 years ago?

Even with tough budget cuts?


A lot of companies are developing new ways to stay in business with the changing times. The thing is business is better today then it was 10 years ago. Why is that? The main reason is resources! There are more resources now then there were years ago and more resources will open up in the years to come. In the old days the traditional business setting was with a company, in an office, at a desk. Technology has taken over and business can now be done from virtually anywhere.

This gives businessmen and women options and options are always good. Akutagawa International feels that options is what makes or breaks a business. If you only offer few that gives your clients very little to work with. The internet itself is a major money maker if you know how to navigate it. You can reach millions of people and thousands of potential clients. It is a way to communicate anywhere you are. This means you can be on the beach catching some rays and trading on the stock exchange. What is so cool about that you ask? Think about it? Take the second honeymoon you always wanted with your spouse and send that new marketing plan to the office from your tablet while sipping a mocha latte by a pool in Mexico. I don't know about you, but I just got excited with just typing that thought.

Business can be done anywhere. I mean anywhere. You don't even need a traditional office, in some cases you don't even need a team. All that is needed is a good idea and a great strategy. Now don't get me wrong, you can have a great strategy and still have some trouble along the way. That is were hard work, and dedication come in. You can not stop at the first sign of trouble. Have a plan A and B and maybe a contingency plan in case A & B fail.

Some may say it cost to much money to start a business and I have a business idea. While it does cost a little money all you need is a computer which most of the people on planet earth have or have access to. There are many free resources that can be utilized by new business owners and existing corporations as well. One of Akutagawa International's Directors ran a small electronic campaign on http://akutagawainternational.com in combination with Twitter and Facebook. He tracked the entire thing for a week using Google Analytics and managed to reach 64,000 people. This isn't a large number but it was also an experiment. He didn't have a target audience, didn't pay for any marketing or advertising, and managed to turn 23 of those people reached into clients. This again seems like a small number. If you are a new business with limited financial means, 23 clients is a HUGE number. Once you have proven yourself to your clients they will then recommend you. This is now your word of mouth marketing kicking in.

Experimenting is a major factor in business. Whether you are new or existing. It lets you see what works and what doesn't. What should be tweaked and what should be added. The great thing is money isn't the biggest issue. It's being creative and finding free and extremely low cost ways to do this. That is why Akutagawa International can help business on any budget. We have experimented with many resources and have found ways to offer our clients things that they would normally pay thousands of dollars for.
