GB Marketing Enterprise report on how the number of SME's has increased and the positive effect the new businesses have had on the economy. SMEs bring innovation into the economy. Innovation sits at the heart of what we do in business and it is at the heart of what can make SMEs so successful despite the harsh economic climate. Because of their size, SMEs are often much better at identifying and embracing new trends in the industry and, therefore, driving the innovation within their respective sectors. This allows SMEs to be pioneers in emerging technologies, paving the way for bigger and braver investments. Also SMEs can be much more adaptable to change than larger and more complex organisations. Because of this adaptability, SMEs arguably have a better chance of withstanding difficult economic conditions and they are faster at recovering from crises. In overcoming the downturns, these firms are able to maximize and stimulate competition, which is essential for putting the current economic lethargy behind us.

GB Marketing Enterprise know that with increased new business start-ups comes healthy competition and in turn means that businesses need to have a finger on the pulse to keep them relevant and maximise their chances of success. With Small businesses the emphasis is on creating a strong brand and getting the message of a great company culture out there.

Here are five tips to help replicate their success:

1) Test the market and identify a gap that your business could fill - You might think that you have a game-changing idea for a new business, but an idea alone isn't enough to succeed. Hundreds of hopefuls fail on Dragon's Den because of one reason – a lack of necessity. The same is true of the real world. Without a market need for your proposition, it simply won't sell.

2) Ensure you have the drive and tenacity required to run the business - Starting a small business is never easy, particularly if you have zero experience in the industry. As a result, you'll need tenacity and self-confidence by the bucket-load, as well as a tolerance for an uncertain future and risk of failure.

3) Establish a clear vision and USP as early as possible - Operating in a crowded marketplace, you'll need to identify what makes you different to your competitors. If there is nothing unique about your business model, your opponent with the more established following and reputation will always come out on top.

4) Surround yourself with like-minded individuals who share your passion for the business- Once you've established your business, you may need to take on staff to share the workload. Business owners need to have a team around them that they trust in terms of judgement and advice – that includes suppliers, staff and friends who give them an honest audit of their ideas and overall direction.

5) Build a social presence to generate a dedicated following - Over the past few years, social media has become a core part of how small businesses market themselves from day one. Use a combination of ads, engagement, incentives and customer service to build up your social following.
