Should Your Business Diversify?

May 28, 2009

Is your small business struggling because of today’s poor economy? If so, how have you changed your business strategy to help overcome this challenge? According to Diane Helbig, one way to keep your business thriving is to diversify. In “Diversify or Die,” Helbig gives examples of SMBs that were able to expand their customer base and keep their business’s profitability alive. How’d they do it? Some found ways to adapt their products to fit a new demographic, while others added new products that appeal to a new group of customers. While this may not work for all small businesses, diversifying is definitely a strategy to consider.
