4 Ways to Take Your Business Back to School

It’s been years since I graduated University, but there’s something about the fall that makes me want to purchase brand new pens and organize my life into binders. It’s back-to-school season after all! 

Home and office supplies shopping aside, a new school season is the perfect time to get you and your business in the back to school mindset. Follow these three tips from Pro Net, the Professional’s Referral Network to take your business back to school this season. Then check out our networking events near me

How to Take Your Business Back to School 

  1. Catch Up with Old Connects 

    Summer is waning, which means that your business partners, customers, and vendors are returning from their vacations (or stay-cations) and getting back to work. This is the perfect time to catch up and let them know what’s new in your business and ask them about theirs. Write a personal message, or try sending out a newsletter or getting the word out on social media. Take time out of your schedule to reconnect with your business associates over coffee or a Zoom call. Your connections will appreciate that they’re still on your mind. 

  2. Learn Something New 

    Getting your business into back to school mode can mean learning something new. Are you struggling with a social media presence? Want to learn more about promoting your business? What about branching out into new sectors or rebranding your image? There’s no better time to expand your business and learn something new than September. Sign up for a class, buy a book, join a Meetup, or visit networking events near me. It just feels right this time of year! 

  3. Get Involved 

    A great business owner is constantly improving the way they do business. While students expand their horizon by joining in extracurricular activities like art, music, and sports, small businesses lean on the support of others. Check out what’s happening at your local small business development center or get involved in business networking events near me to broaden your support network for the year to come. 

  4. Broaden Your Horizon 

    Back to school season is much more than backpacks and binders. Many brands are finding new ways to capitalize on the season. While students head back to school, homeowners and businesses are jumping into new projects. Identify how your product or service could benefit customers this time of year and invite your customers in for special events and promotions.
