What’s Been Happening at Making You Content?
Summer came and went in the blink of an eye, but not without its fair share of excitement. As we embark upon the final quarter of 2015, now is a great time to start preparing your business for the flurry of winter marketing. Sacrilege though it may seem to prep your Christmas campaign in September, the speed at which the year has gone by so far makes now the perfect time to get one step ahead.
However, before we launch head-on into autumn, we thought we’d take a moment to share some exciting news, updates and developments from Making You Content HQ.
The State of Small Business Marketing
If you follow us on Twitter, you may have seen a survey last month asking small business owners to give us their views on marketing, outsourcing, and their work-life balance. Thanks to everyone to took part.
The survey gave us some fascinating insights into how sole traders, entrepreneurs and small business owners manage their design and marketing responsibilities. And we were surprised to learn that less than 10% of businesses regularly outsource! Why? See the results for yourself!
