Wondering what's the easiest/best platform for building multiple sites for businesses that are B2B service based. They would need to integrated with a CRM and some mail service over time to generate leads etc. In the past I have used wordpress, but am out of touch with all the current themes etc. So wondering if that is still the best or if there is anything else that's better. I also want to ensure the solution is optimized for SEO and looks great on iphones/android etc.

Thanks!

Hello Reddit,

I hope you're all doing well! I’m considering starting a new business and would love to get your feedback. The idea is to offer a "drop-in" nanny service specifically designed for stay-at-home parents who need occasional help.

Here’s how it would work:

• Flexible Support: On days when you're feeling overwhelmed or just need a break, a trusted nanny could drop in to help with evening routines.
• Service Variety: The nanny could assist with tasks like cleaning up after dinner, bathing the kids, and putting them to bed.
• Peace of Mind: This service aims to let you relax and unwind while still knowing your children are being taken care of in your home.
• Personalized Care: You remain the primary caregiver, but with some extra hands when needed, ensuring your kids are raised by you.

Why I'm considering this:

I've noticed that many stay-at-home parents in our community might appreciate a little extra support now and then. This service could provide a valuable break without the commitment of full-time childcare.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

• Would you find a service like this helpful?
• What specific tasks or support would you want from a "drop-in" nanny?
• Any concerns or suggestions on how to make this service as beneficial and trustworthy as possible?

Your feedback is incredibly important to me as I explore this idea. Thank you in advance for your time and input!

Warm regards,

So I was discussing a topic that if say I'm working in a general administration department in a construction company, my job is to get quotes and handing them to the director for approvals. If I have my own business that provides the same products or services that they need, for example, stationery and workwear. Is it illegal for me to provide my own business's quote to the director even if I'm not making any decisions on which quote will be selected. Or providing unfair advantages to my own business's quote. Also I have no competition with company that I'm working in and my own business. But we were discussing that since I will be quoting I might lower price of my own quote just to make it more likely to be selected which is still biased.

I have 2 people interested in buying my company

One is from a PE firm that wants to leave our ops uninterrupted, have us retain some equity, and effectively merge with a bunch of other companies they own under their holding company.

The other is a personal buyer that basically wants to buy us out entirely, have us train him up asap (within a year probably) and then probably let us go immediately after he’s ready to take over

I don’t have actual offers on the table yet, so idk terms, just wanted to ask which sounds like the better offer.

Welcome to Anaxeo, Your Digital Marketing Experts.

Have you ever wondered why some advertisements captivate your attention while others go unnoticed, even if they promote the same product or service? The secret lies in the use of psychological triggers.

What Are Triggers and How Are They Used in Marketing?

Triggers are powerful psychological mechanisms that influence our behavior, often prompting us to make decisions impulsively. Each trigger elicits a specific reaction from a target audience, so it's crucial to identify and leverage these triggers effectively.

Key Triggers in Marketing:

• Urgency: Creates a sense of immediate action. "The promotion ends in 24 hours!" compels people to act quickly to avoid missing out.
• Scarcity: When a product is in limited supply, it becomes more desirable. "Only 3 items left!" prompts faster purchase decisions.
• Exclusivity: People love feeling special. "Exclusive for VIP clients!" instantly elevates the perceived value of a product or service.
• Social Proof: People tend to follow the crowd. Seeing numerous positive reviews makes a product seem trustworthy and worth spending money on.

Our Specialized Triggers for Complex (High-Risk) Industries

At Anaxeo, we don’t just target white-label industries; we excel in complex, high-risk niches. Here are some of the tailored triggers we use:

• Temptation: For OnlyFans and escort services, the allure of hidden pleasures and forbidden experiences is irresistible.
• Excitement: In the cryptocurrency and casino industries, the thrill of potential big wins and adrenaline rushes grabs and keeps attention.
• Anxiety: In risk-related niches like casinos, the fear of missing out on big wins creates urgency and encourages immediate action.
• Prestige: For high-end services like elite escorts or exclusive clubs, the desire for prestige and status drives engagement.
• Power: In niches like casinos and escorts, the sense of control and dominance is highly appealing.
• Vice: In pleasure-related industries, tapping into hidden desires and taboos is a powerful motivator.
• Trust: A Cornerstone of Our Success

In any niche, building trust is crucial. Phrases like "We work with leading professionals" assure customers of our reliability and expertise. At Anaxeo, we genuinely collaborate only with professionals. For us, reputation stands higher than money. You can build a reputation over many years and lose it in just 10 seconds.

How Do We Choose the Right Trigger?

• Audience Research: We meticulously analyze our target audience to understand their desires and fears, helping us select the most effective triggers.
• Testing: We conduct extensive A/B/C testing and data analysis to determine the most impactful triggers.
• Adaptation: We continuously analyze campaign results to refine our strategies, staying ahead of the competition.

While these are some of our fundamental psychological tricks, we delve much deeper to tailor our approach to each unique individual. Factors such as mood, motivation, geography, age, and gender all influence our highly customized campaigns.

Questions and Answers

1. What triggers work best for escort/OnlyFans services?
   • Exclusivity and prestige triggers work best, as customers want to feel special.
2. Is it possible to use multiple triggers at the same time?
   • Yes, combining multiple triggers can enhance the effect and attract more attention.
3. How do I determine which trigger will be most effective?
   • Conduct audience research and tests to understand what works best for your particular case.
4. What should I do if the selected trigger does not work?
   • Analyze the results and try other triggers. It is important to constantly adapt and seek the best solutions.
5. How often do I need to change triggers?
   • It depends on your audience and niche. Continuously analyze the results and be ready to adapt to stay effective.

I’m opening a small grocery store (1,600 sq ft carrying maybe 1k-3k products in 2 weeks time. I already have a Shopify POS, cash register, barcode scanner and receipt printer from a previous business but I’m not sure it will work for only in person selling. I have the small Square Terminal as well but would consider buying the Square Register since I have the rest of the hardware already. I’ve heard horror stories of Square holding your money and not paying. So that’s my biggest fear. Yet I dislike that Shopify everything is extra. Since I’m selling some items that go by weight I’d have to subscribe to their app for an additional $15-$25/mo just for that, while square does it free. Their fees are very similar Shopify charges me 2.6% flat. While Square would be 2.6% + 10 cents. What would you recommend? I’m not trying to purchase a huge POS for grocery stores and spend $4k+. I’m looking for the best between these two. Clover is a no go for me. I really don’t like it, the price is too much and the fee with my bank would be 2.7%+ 10 cents.

For background information I am planning to start a small business in selling gift boxes, specifically luxury ones with chocolate/candied covered fruit/cake, and flowers in the boxes, potentially alcohol as well. I am currently thinking about business names and would love to have the word "bloom" in the name but is not end all be all of course,

Guess my question is do you think it would be weird to have "bloom" in the name while selling faux flowers or should I do real ones? If you received a gift box would you be less impressed with faux flowers vs real ones if it looked just as nice or could you care less?

I really appreciate any advice/response in advance !

What successful service based business do you own? Do you enjoy it?

Thank you to everyone who gave me helpful feedback on this situation.

Someone referred me to Reddit Cares, okay?

Someone here even accused me of being unethical (my team followed all guidelines btw) and creating a hostile work environment and forcing employees to do things? Sounds terrible and I wouldn’t want to work at such a place. Many missed the first half of the post and instead wanted to vilify my question.

Overall, thank you to the few that gave me helpful feedback and perspective. I’ve remained neutral with the employee and will continue to do so until she finds another route on her own.

Thanks!

Small towns often have many small businesses, such as barbers, electricians, restaurant owners, and family-owned shops. These businesses owners frequently find it challenging to afford health insurance for themselves and definitely not for their employees, contributing to higher rates of uninsured or underinsured individuals in rural areas. Insurance companies often profit from increasing medical costs, as higher premiums lead to greater revenue. This results in continually escalating insurance premiums, making it impossible for small businesses to afford medical insurance. Large companies can afford to provide health insurance, giving them a competitive advantage over smaller competitors who struggle to offer similar benefits. This disparity helps larger companies attract and retain talent, further pushing out smaller businesses. Hospitals often become more profitable when they consolidate, but this can lead to a decrease in the quality of care. The trend is to move hospitals to areas with large populations insured by big corporations, leading to the withdrawal of hospitals from small communities. The USA needs a Small Business Health Insurance Act to save rural America's hospitals.

Looking for clarity here. I have an oppurtunity to purchase a biz that is SBA approved. As it turns out one of the owners wants to stay with the business after the sale. SBA lender has told me, "that is not allowed. They will have already benefitted from the sale and for them to benefit afterwards with a salary is double dipping."

From my perspective they would no longer have any ownership or profit sharing. They would be a W2 employee.

Also why go through the process to sba approved if this is a known issue.

Anyhow is this a real rule from the SB a

I am subscribed to the ZOHO-One business suite. This is an extensive low cost package of (supposedly integrated) apps that business owners need to run and grow a business: from website builders, e-Shops, project management, email, to a financial suite, CMS, and marketing, etc. etc.

It all sounded perfect for a small business owner, but in the course of time I find myself dropping many of the apps and replacing them with better and more reliable 3rd party alternatives, because the ZOHO apps are just not working well (imho) - many bugs, low quality, cumbersome, etc. Now I also have to replace the ZOHO website it has come to the point that continuing the subscription is senseless.

However I like the concept of a suite of integrated business apps. So I am looking for an alternative. Does anyone have good suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I'm working with a small business in Lithuania and I really need google reviews. If there are people who wouldn't mind to leave a comment I would highly appreciated (and obviously I would do the same for you).

hi! just as the title says, i've been putting a lot of time into thinking about starting a review business for new/small businesses and book authors.

for example, i'd make a google review for your business for $2 per review. or i'd leave an amazon review for your books for $2 (clients shoulder the purchase). all of the reviews would be reviewed also by the client prior yo posting. would that be a good business idea in your honest opinion?

I'm looking for ideas of things to automate for businesses.

If you're a small business owner I'd love to know what you would like to automate - Either with code or with AI.

Just to be clear, I don't sell anything. I don't have a business, I don't do consulting or anything. I'm just a 34 yo doing nothing currently but interested in B2B and interested in automation.

We are a custom leather or other materials of mobile phone case factory, card bags, wallets, leather bags, cloth bags these can be produced. But I always can't find customers with customized needs, how can I accurately find my customers?

A lot of business ideas come into my mind and according to me all are great but I know for a fact that when we actually enter the market, we get to know a lot of other aspects of it.

Before jumping into implementation of any idea, I want to validate it and take a data driven decision and minimize the unexpected surprises when I actually implement it.

If you are someone who has validated your ideas in past, please share some strategies for the same.
