Opening up a business isn’t all logistics, talking to contractors and researching on Securitychoice.com. There are a lot of behind the scenes things you should be considering before you ever open the doors that have nothing to do with drywall or signagehere’s a list:
Foster Good Neighborly Relations: When you’re moving in take care not to disturb the neighbors. Go around and introduce yourself at other businesses and residences so everyone knows who you are and what you’re doing.
Think Marketing: Just because your doors open doesn’t mean anyone knows about you – you’ve got to market your new business like crazy even before opening day. Put a press release in the paper and hand out coupons – anything to stir excitement in your neighborhood and the surrounding areas.
Get Involved: The best thing you can do to show you’re ready to be part of a community is to get involved in a local charity or organization. Always wear branded T-shirts to events and be consistent and helpful so people know you’re here to stay. Good harmony is the best marketing tool there is.

If you own a small business in the Bay Area, you’re in luck. San Francisco is about as entrepreneur-friendly as a city can get, but with the wealth of resources available, it can be hard to know what is worth your limited time. Here’s some serious advice for the goal-oriented entrepreneur who wants the highest return on investments of time.

Network, but do it strategically. Making the rounds of every event targeted to entrepreneurs can be a time sink. Attend only those events that will have someone in attendance who can further your business prospects and who you will have a real chance to meet.

Use every opportunity to build your brand. Think small, as well as big. Put a bumper sticker advertising your website on your car. Leave marketing material on the literature table in the doctor’s office and beauty salon. Don’t scoff at posting fliers, and if you can get relatives to wear t-shirts advertising your business, it certainly can’t hurt.

Establish your expertise in your business area. Experts are recognized leaders and are the first people contacted when the public needs information. Your expertise will result in free advertising for your business and ultimately help it grow.
