Marketing Consulting With SBAAS

At SBAAS, we provide clear advice and practical solutions to help your small business succeed. Whether you are starting a new venture or improving your current operations, our expert consultants are here to guide you.

We assess your business needs, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement strategies that drive growth and increase efficiency. Our services focus on delivering results that matter to your business.

Growth by Acquisition

Growing your small business through acquisition is a powerful strategy that accelerates growth and expands your market presence faster than organic methods alone.

Acquiring an existing business gives you immediate access to an established customer base, experienced staff, and proven operational systems.

This reduces the time and resources needed to build these from scratch and provides a competitive edge in your industry.

Moreover, acquisitions often bring valuable intellectual property, technologies, or product lines that complement your offerings, enhancing your ability to serve your clients more effectively and diversify revenue streams.

The acquisition also provides a unique opportunity to scale your operations strategically. Instead of facing market entry challenges or expanding organically in saturated industries, purchasing an established business allows you to secure prime market positioning.

You can mitigate risks, identify synergies, and strengthen your financial standing with the right due diligence. Additionally, acquiring a competitor or complementary business can help eliminate competition, create economies of scale, and optimise your supply chain, ultimately driving profitability and long-term sustainability.

By leveraging acquisitions, small businesses can evolve into formidable industry players, unlocking unparalleled growth opportunities.

Eric went above and beyond during our initial consultation regarding start-up structure and the best way forward. It was an enriching conversation, and I now have much more confidence moving forward in what already feels like a true partnership.

When I was looking to start my disability support business, I came across SBAAS and had the absolute pleasure of working with Eric and Trudi. They were genuinely so lovely from day one. They went above and beyond for me in every way and I honestly couldn’t recommend them enough! I always felt so supported and like I had people in my corner who actually cared about what I was trying to build. They were super easy to talk to, really patient and took the time to understand my vision and what I wanted my business to look like. Nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. Even now, I still feel like I could reach out if I needed help or had questions and they’d be more than happy to help. I'm so grateful for them and everything they did to help me get started. Thank you Eric and Trudi!

As a startup social enterprise, our team of three had never built a business together before, so having the support of Eric and Trudi Allgood from SBAAS has been invaluable. From business planning, policies and procedures through to bookkeeping support and strategic advice, they've helped us put the right foundations in place for sustainable growth. What we love most is that they don't just give advice—they keep us accountable and focused on moving forward. Many of the things we've struggled with as a new business were second nature to them, and their guidance has saved us countless hours, mistakes and headaches. As sponsors and supporters of our community art gallery, they've also been incredibly generous with their time and encouragement. It's clear they genuinely care about helping small businesses succeed. We're incredibly grateful for their support and would highly recommend SBAAS to any business owner looking for experienced advisors who truly have your best interests at heart.

Eric was fantastic to work with throughout the process of developing our policy for working with schools. His knowledge and expertise in this area were evident from the outset, and he was able to explain requirements clearly and provide practical guidance that made the process much easier to navigate. Eric took the time to understand our business, answer our questions, and ensure we had a policy that was both compliant and fit for purpose. I appreciated his professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to share his knowledge. I would highly recommend Eric to any organisation looking for expert advice and support in this area. Thank you again for your assistance, Eric.

Eric has an exceptional ability to quickly understand the brief, cut through complexity, and take decisive action. As a family-run business navigating a very stressful operational reform to align with licensing regulations, his guidance brought immediate clarity and calm. He provided clear, practical instruction and moved quickly, helping us see a structured path forward when things felt overwhelming. Thanks to his expertise and responsiveness, we were able to implement the required changes efficiently and achieve approval far quicker than expected. I would highly recommend Eric and SBAAS to any small or family-run business needing strong commercial support during complex or high-pressure situations.

Yet another business sending spam. Let's cut to the chase. - No, I have never had a "relationship" with you. - Yes, I have reported to ACMA. - No, I'm not going to unsubscribe. You can't just add me to your spam list and expect me to do the work because you are taking the spam route. - Yes, I have reported you to your mailing list provider, "Constant Contact" - Yes I do give low reviews to all of the spamming businesses that email me. - Don't reply with how much you value privacy etc etc. Just don't spam me. - Eric, you hold yourself out to be a "sort-after speaker", and A visionary leader". Maybe a bit less reliance on spam marketing?

Measure the success of your marketing activities by setting clear, measurable objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) such as website traffic, lead generation, conversion rates, customer acquisition costs, and sales revenue.

Digital marketing involves promoting products or services through digital channels like search engines, websites, social media, and email.
It differs from traditional marketing, which uses channels like print, broadcast, and direct mail by being more interactive, measurable, and cost-effective.

Content marketing can attract and engage your target audience, build brand awareness, and establish your business as a thought leader in the industry.
It provides value to your customers, encouraging loyalty and repeat business.

A marketing plan outlines your business’s strategy for promoting its products or services. It’s crucial because it guides your marketing efforts, helping you target the right audience, allocate resources effectively, and measure success.

Your marketing plan should be reviewed and updated annually to reflect market changes, business objectives, and customer behaviour.
However, more frequent updates may be necessary based on significant market shifts or business changes.

A comprehensive marketing plan should include a market analysis, target audience definition, marketing objectives, strategies and tactics, budget, and a timeline. It should also have metrics for measuring success.

Identify your target audience by analysing your current customer base, conducting market research, and understanding who benefits most from your product or service.
Consider demographics, psychographics, and buying behaviours.

Marketing strategy defines your overall business goals and direction, while tactics are the specific actions taken to achieve these goals.
Strategy is the plan, and tactics are the execution.

Set your marketing budget based on your business objectives, historical spending, industry benchmarks, and expected return on investment. Allocate funds to different channels based on their effectiveness and your strategic priorities.

The effectiveness of marketing channels varies by business and market.
However, commonly successful channels for small businesses include social media, email marketing, content marketing, search engine optimisation (SEO), and local advertising.

Social media is important for small businesses as it allows them to connect with customers, increase brand awareness, promote products or services, and monitor market trends and competitor activity.

When creating a marketing campaign, consider your business goals, target audience, message, budget, chosen marketing channels, and how you will measure success.
Could you tailor your campaign to align with your overall marketing strategy and objectives?
