Smarter Marketing in a Connected World.

Building your on-line business needs to be smart. Social networks abound today and are easily established. We'll help set them up for you and assist your journey with social networking. Knowing how they work, and how you should focus them to suit your start-up business, is an entirely different matter.

Sure you need an on-line presence but it must be one that is targeted so that your business growth is realistic and sustainable. Over promising and under delivering can easily destroy a brand quickly in a digitally connected world.

Mander Consulting will help you set-up your social networks and assist your understanding of how best to tailor your social networks. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn are probably the most popular we can set-up for you. They're a great start. Let's put them to good use. More . . .

Smarter Newsletter Design and Integration.

Once you're ready with your on-line presence, it's time to tell the world about your business. More cleverly though, your target market/s. (FOCUS is what business success is all about).

Using several methods including digital social networks like Facebook and Instragram, contact databases and out-and-about business networking, you will need to send regular information about your products, services, promotions and fun stuff too.

Mander Consulting recommends the MailChimp email newsletter app because it's FREE (up-to 2,000 newsletters per month) and fully-featured.  MailChimp helps you to send out regular, smarter looking communications to get your branding and messaging to your target market.

We can link your MailChimp account from your web-site, so that your visitors can quickly subscribe to your business for on-going information.

MailChimp allows you to set-up newsletters based on different themes and send these as campaigns to categories of subscribers such as prospects, or existing clients. You can access your campaign statistics (who opened and when, who clicked links) from any device so you can see instantly how your campaign is performing. More . . .

Smarter Customer Management. Keeping it All Together.

Nothing in your business is more important than your customer relationships. Repeat business is the most cost-effective business. Tracking your opportunities with integrated tasks, email and documents. Managing customer related tasks and projects ensures you're keeping it all together and staying on top of the relationship.

Having access to your clients contact information at your finger-tips from any device at any-time, is critical in maintaining a professional standard relationship with your prospects through to longer-term clients. It's impressive. It's expected.

Mander Consulting recommends the Insightly CRM (Customer Relationship Management) cloud-based solution for managing contact with your clients. Insightly starts as professional featured CRM for FREE and scales to low-cost monthly plans that provide integration and automation with other business solutions we recommend such as MailChimp and Quick Books On-Line accounting.

Smarter Receipt Management. Empty That Shoe-Box.

Time to stop using the truck as the filing cabinet. Time to drop the shoe-box. Time to make the bookkeeper happy. Time to stop worrying about documenting expenses and filling out spread-sheets.

Receipt Bank simply captures your receipts (by camera) so you can ditch the paper immediately. They're in the cloud, scanned electronically, simply awaiting either manual categorisation, or automatically being filed based on prior receipts. Amounts, Suppliers, Dates and Taxes are all scanned by Receipt Bank and entered for you. 

Receipt Bank also integrates with QuickBooks Online, so your receipts can be imported and automatically linked to the relevant expense accounts. If you're using the QuickBooks Online bank feed, then the imported receipts are simply matched to the relevant download transaction and the scanned receipts are linked so that you can call them up in later years. Great for taxation audits and reviews. Or simply to checkout more details on the actual receipt. More . . .

Smarter Accounting. Now You're Getting Down to Business.

  

---

The digital heart of your business is about accounting.  Knowing your financial worth. What revenue you are making. What expenses are costing you. What you owe. What people owe you. What you own. Knowing your financial worth.

Cloud-based accounting solutions help your business become truly accountable on-line anywhere, any-time. Across multiple devices. Allowing you to get out of the office and in front of clients. But able to access critical business information about your clients and suppliers and your daily business performance. 

We recommend Intuit QuickBooks Online. It's world-famous and respected. It's very affordable, especially if you are on a limited budget. It scales well. It integrates well with all the major global e-commerce apps and on-line stores we recommend. That makes your life easier, spending less time re-posting transactions into accounting. More . . .
