Last week, the government
announced the start of the Do More Online Scheme, which Axis Telecoms
believes can help your small business increase its customer base.
Capitalise on Your Presence Online
Because we are a telecoms and
energy supplier who are passionate about providing effective customer service
to small business all over the UK, Axis Telecoms is always looking for ways to
help SMEs do more online.
If you develop and maintain an
online presence, you can reach a wider customer base with minimal effort.
However, there are a fair share of SME decision makers who don’t know have the
knowledge of how to use the tools they need to capitalise on the opportunity to
build a presence for their business online.
Government Helps SMEs Do More Online
Those decision makers were given
a life line last week, as the government announced
the launch of the Do More online campaign – its newest effort to help small
businesses do more with their online presence.
Through Local Enterprise
Partnerships, the government will channel £2 million into 22 projects which are
designed to help SMEs increase their digital presence. Projects include the
development of a digital TV outlet in Manchester which will equip businesses
with easily-accessible and cost-effective advice, as well as a partnership with
Go ON UK that has already created a database of resources for SMEs.
Addressing the Digital Skills Gap
Commenting on the new initiative,
Matthew Hancock, Minister of Business and Enterprise said: “To make sure consumers get the best deal and small
businesses spread their nets far and wide, the government is investing in a
range of advice to help them do more online. I am committed to making the UK
the best place in the world to start up and grow, and this is integral to
achieving that.”
The
initiative has already been endorsed by Go ON UK’s CEO, Rachel Neaman. Neaman
said: “Go ON UK welcomes the government’s investment in
addressing the digital skills gap for small businesses.”
Giving You the Tools to Reach a Wider Customer Base
By addressing this digital skills
gap, the Do More Online
campaign gives you the tools you need to reach a wider customer base. By
reaching out to your potential customers online, can you attract new sales and
bump up your profit margins.
