The Meredith Paige Podcast

In this episode we are going to chat with a former client, Jill Noble, to discuss her perspective on the massive difference a website made to both the accessibility for potential and existing members and customers, as well as some of the in-house administrative tasks that needed to be performed within her business.

I'm looking forward to sharing with you her insights into the whole web design experience, why she needed a website in both the instance of her farm and the farming association she represents, and most importantly, how she actually prepared for the web design process because from the designer perspective.

If you're considering getting a website for your business or organisation, Jill's got a lot of fabulous insights into how you can be prepared to get the most out of the experience. So, let's jump in.

In todays' episode, I have the pleasure of interviewing Ronald Mcdonald's house manager and community engagement coordinator, Rhiannon Curtis. We discuss the incredible success of the International Women's Day Lunch's annual event. Together, we dive into how certain struggles, efforts and strategies have worked towards making the yearly event what it is today. This episode is more than just beneficial for other Non-For-Profit organisation's and can be translated and incorporated into other small business ventures and events that you may have.
We're going to start the conversation with discussing the importance of ensuring those involved in projects feel not only valued, but show reciprocated effort from other members, especially with events which are volunteer-based . We then move onto Rhiannon's success with increasing statistics surrounding 'The House of The Foster Retreat' and how she achieved such results. It's discussed how shifting perceptions and communicating to those involved were vital factors. Next, Rhiannon reveals how getting those who've used Ronald Mcdonald's resources to share their stories can be more impactful and important than just explaining the Non-For-Profit herself. We dive into the struggles and importance of separating your business from competitors and how that translates towards giving you that leading edge. Helping your current and potential consumers find relatability towards your business's purpose, can help build your relationship, giving you stronger potential for those purchases, or in Rhiannon's case, donations. Finally, we discuss the importance of using local talent and experts to specialise in certain departments, helping you work "smarter, not harder". With an incredibly interesting conversation, I can't wait for you to listen in.

Quite often when we're trying to run, grow and scale a small business, we tend to feel like we're caught in our own business bubble. It's almost like we can't see the forest through the trees and we've got no idea how to start, put one foot in front of the other and just get to where we need to go.

In this episode, I'm chatting with my business coach, Luke Williams, who has been coaching me since October 2021. Before this, we've been working together on multiple websites, logos, branding and many more fun projects. Working with him in the capacity of a business coach was really the icing on the cake!

Luke has a fantastic perspective on how everything connects together and what we can look to gain by getting the fundamentals right in our business and focus on the places where we can make a 1% improvement every day, rather than trying to go big and bold and overcomplicate things.

I've found his insight into my business and the way I run it to be refreshing, enlightening and ultimately successful. I've been incredibly fortunate to steal a bit of Luke's time for you in this episode, so you too can hopefully benefit from his fantastic insights and his outlook on life.

When it comes to marketing you regional and rural small businesses, there's two big things we want to be looking out for: bang for your buck and opportunities to put things on autopilot.

I'm really excited to bring you a radio rep from our regional radio station, Fiona Ludeke. Fiona talks about the benefits of radio when it comes to promoting your regional and rural small business.

In today's chat, we're going to talk about what radio can actually bring to your marketing at a surprisingly affordable investment. Many believe radio is beyond their reach however after listening to Fiona, I think you'll see how achievable it is and how much of the heavy lifting your local radio station could be doing in terms of getting ears and then subsequently eyes on your business.
