GETTING BACK TO BUSINESS By Chris Harris, Harris Consultancy.

Chris Harris

We do hope you and your family are safe and well, this has been a tremendously stressful time for us all.

Over the last few months, we’ve been doing all we can to support our local communities, including marketing to create a local neighbourhood friend scheme to support the most vulnerable, children’s colouring competition to keep the little ones entertained and allowing researchers to use our idle office computers to help analyse and aid research for a vaccine for COVID19!

And the sense of community has been overwhelming, whilst we all find ways in which to help each other and support one another through these tough times while adapting to the new “norm”.

Adapting your business requires flexibility and an open mind, particularly if your business offers a service that would be challenging to achieve with the new social distancing rules, but everything is achievable and all challenges can be overcome.

We have seen a huge upward trend towards digitalisation, businesses are adapting their strategies and moving otherwise physical services online, perhaps they have introduced a subscription-based business model to help them with re-occurring revenues or started selling a product with a slight change on their core strategy. The point is, the consumer trend is changing and therefore businesses are coming up with new angles and initiatives to keep consumer interest and sales heading upwards.

And take this opportunity to re-evaluate your goals and business objectives, creating and breaking down your purposes into smaller achievable targets so that you feel proud and energised when you reach them rather than overwhelmed at the thought of getting there.

Here at Harris Consultancy our core objective has always been to offer help and support, obtainable through our free business advice programme. We will help you with any ideas you have and develop them digitally to use throughout your business. We are not just award-winning social media and web developers, we’re in the heart of the community helping and supporting local businesses.

Our social media and website packages offer excellent value for money in addition to our free longer term commitment to helping you grow your business – We don’t just want to build you a website and walk away, and we don’t want to silently manage your social media in the background, we’re committed to helping you with any business queries you may have, any thoughts on your strategy, after all two heads are better than one and small businesses don’t always have that opportunity to bounce ideas around. Harris Consultancy is committed now more than ever to continue to develop bright ideas for local business and will do all we can to help you succeed.

Our website packages start from £39 per month and social media management from £69 per month. We can also come up with a bespoke solution for you if our packages don’t quite fit your needs!

If you would like to reach out to us to discuss any of the above, or perhaps to look at your strategy in further detail, then please contact us:

Hello, Lucie Ponsford here from Mimosa design,In this April edition of Look Locally Over the Garden Gate, I continue to tell the story of why plants perform in different places; with knowledge, there is power to grow in our gardens better. So far, we have discussed apex forest (temperate biome), desert plants (arid biome), and grassland biome.Read full article on Page 22 of the April Issue or click here: https://look-localmagazine.co.uk/look-locally-over-the-garden-gate-with-lucie-giselle-ponsford-9/ ...

Hello Readers, Welcome to the April 2024 Issue of Look Local Magazine. Spring has officially sprung, the daffodils are blooming in abundance and lighter evenings are here once again. I am really looking forward to getting out and about around the local area with the kids this Easter holidays. First up we plan to take a trip to Oxford on the bus to explore the Natural History Museum which is FREE to enter. Throughout the Easter holidays you can take part in an eggciting family trail. Eggsplore the Eggstraordinary Easter Family Trail around the museum to find all the hidden eggswhilst discovering fun natural history facts and themed specimens! The museum also hosts Science Saturdays where you have the opportunity to dive into the ocean world with themed crafts and ‘meet the scientists’ sessions. Waddesdon Manor’s annual Easter Adventure is on until 14th April and Waterperry Gardens are hosting a Hunt around the ornamental gardens. It costs £3.95 per child with a prize - check out their website for more info. There are lots of other cute little Easter trails taking place locally that I have seen pop up on Social Media - keep a eye out on our Facebook & Insta Pages as I will share any that I see. For any little train enthusiasts, Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railways, ‘Kids travel for a quid’ initiative is back! See more information about this and their other upcoming events on page 15. And for those who have work commitments during the Easter Holidays and are looking to book your little people into some enjoyable clubs, I came across a brand new one that’s coming to Thame and Haddenham called The Outdoors Project (www.theoutdoorsproject.co.uk/aylesbury-thame/). They provide 100% outdoor adventures for years 1 to 6, which run throughout the Easter and Summer holidays. There’s also two competitions to enjoy this month, our regular Thame Players Theatre competition is on page 19 and there also a chance to win tickets to this year Abingdon Air & Country Show on page 14. Until next month, enjoy readingLove EmmaRead online here: https://look-localmagazine.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/April-2024-LLM.pdf...#whatsgoingoninoxfordshire #looklocalmagazine #advertiselocal #supportsmallbusinessess #smallbusinesssupport #looklocal #smallbusinessesinoxfordshire #looklocalmagazineoxfordshire #localmagazineoxfordshire #oxfordshiremagazine #localmagazine #supportlocalbusiness #supportlocalbusinesses #supportlocal ...
