You Dont Want To Be Single Store Dependent
The more sites you have the easier you can defend your business π
You can afford:-
A better team β
A better paid adds company β
To spend more on seo consultants β
To get a better accountant β
To spend more on mentors and consultants β
To pay for the best legal and business advice β
ETC ETC
Thatβs not all folks ohhhh no β¦.
You get to save expenses through economy of scale as well.A small example would be my SEO consultant β¦
He charges Β£3k per month to work on storemore.co.uk.
If I have one site that means the cost per site is Β£3k / month. HOWEVER, if I have 5 sites then the cost is Β£600 / per month per site (only just started with him so havenβt seen the results β¦ YET).
EOS - Economies Of Scale at work π
With ONE site your -Reliant on the demand of said location π³
Worried someone may out position you π³
Worried new facilities will open π³
With one site there is always a potential worry and threat that may impact your business β¦Donβt get me wrong your still worried with multiple sites but its less impactful to your overall business and its unlikely to kill your business
With multiple sites your success is less determined by one site and more by the demand of the industry as a whole π
Expanding isnβt right for everyone but for me I see it as the safest option β¦. Even though there are considerable risks as well βοΈSomething for you to think about π€
