Content-Writing

Content Writing

There is a great need today for writers who can add new and fresh content to a multitude of projects in the writing industry and your website or social media pages are not the only places where content writing is used. Content writing helps you to articulate your brand, maintain relevance in the marketplace, increase traffic to a variety of areas in your business, and helps you build trust with your target audience.

Content writing should include an evaluation component to help determine if the current content you are using still drives business to the organization. Determine if content should be updated, remain the same with minor changes or determine if something totally new is warranted. After a review of materials content, critical needs will be determined. Content writing can be used to include a multitude of tasks to get you back on track with maintaining and even increasing your market share. Writing projects are another way to create specific tasks by adding fresh content to websites, social media sites, creating E-books, campaigns, and blogs, developing newsletters, flyers, event posters and creating articles for magazines and trade publications.

Don’t limit yourself to just the opportunities listed above but think about content writing for the organization in its totality. Content writing can assist you strategically in evaluating your current content, planning, and maintaining current content and building programs or services after evaluation of content can readily meet the needs of your organization.

How about giving, In the Company of Peacocks a look at your content to maximize an opportunity to generate greater access to the company’s brand.

Business-Consulting

Business Consulting

All businesses experience an especially important lifecycle if they are in business for any length of time. There are anywhere from 5 to 7 stages that a business can conceivably go through during this life cycle. These stages include:
Z

Seed and Development – When the business is a thought or idea.

Z
Startup – The business exists in legal terms. Products and services are available, and you have new customers.
Z

Growth – Marketing strategies and sales have made an impact on the business.

Z

Expansion – New periods of growth into new markets. Look for opportunities to gain a stronger market share.

Z

Maturity – The business has reached its highest peak as it is and will require aggressive strategies to stay afloat.

Z

Decline – All things financial have decreased and acceptance of failure to extend the business life cycle by not adapting to the changing business environment.

Z

Exit – It’s inevitable that the business will not bounce back to its earlier stage of growth. This is the opportunity for the owner to cash-out on their years of hard work.

Where is your business in the cycle?

Whatever your business’ place in the cycle, special attention will be required to take the business to the next level of success based on your vision, implementing key strategies, and knowing when to make those changes will require accurate reporting from key departments in your business.

As a business consultant, reviewing specific parts of the business to address strategic goals will assist in planning for next-level challenges and processes.

Pre-Grant-Consultation-&-Grant-Writing

Pre-Grant Consultation & Grant Writing

In the Company of Peacocks now offers pre-grant consultations to new and continuing clients who need extra support in preparing for writing many grants and proposals. We’re excited about these services and know that companies will benefit greatly from the pre-grant consultations that we can now offer to a variety of agencies.
We started the pre-grant services based on the need for more organizations to minimize their mistakes in preparing grants and increase success in obtaining more grants that assist them in achieving important community programs and services.

Many agency professionals are remarkably busy with the day-to-day operations of the agency, so much so that it makes it difficult to stay in-tune with grant writing tasks for their agencies. That is why it is best to use a professional who is skilled in not only writing grants, but working with a professional who can specifically address the needs for your organization, but who is also aware of the standards required in grant writing. There are basic considerations that you must meet before you can be successful in obtaining a grant from granting organizations.

So why not put your grant planning and writing in the hands of the professionals to ensure that you meet the qualifications of the grant before starting to write, that you have the necessary documentation in-house that each grant maker will need from your organization and that the goals outlined in your grants are achievable for your agency.

She owns and operates, In the Company of Peacocks, a company that helps want-to-be writers and other business owners to achieve success.
