Points to Consider When Starting a Business

Hello everyone considering entrepreneurship! In this article, we will delve into key points to consider when starting a business, drawing insights from the experience of the founder of Pacific Software Publishing, Inc. (PSPINC) when he established the company at the age of 27.

**1. Financial Preparation:**
Entrepreneurship requires a keen understanding of finances. If you are transitioning from a salaried position, you might not be familiar with the intricacies of business finance, so seeking professional advice or taking business finance courses can be beneficial.

**2. Legal and Regulatory Matters:**
Understanding the legal aspects of operating a business is paramount. This includes company registration, compliance with local regulations, and adherence to tax laws. Utilize legal professionals and online resources to deepen your understanding.

**3. Building a Network:**
Networking is crucial for business success. Just as the founder was able to leverage existing connections, newcomers should actively build professional networks. Attend industry events, engage in online forums, and connect with fellow entrepreneurs.

**4. Overcoming Anxiety and Uncertainty:**
Entrepreneurship involves venturing into the unknown, and managing the associated anxieties is crucial. Seek support from mentors, business advisors, or participate in entrepreneur communities to gain valuable insights and support.

**5. Leveraging Past Experiences:**
Make use of your experiences in specific industries or roles. The founder utilized previous experiences in PSPINC's establishment. Evaluate how your past experiences can contribute to the success of your new venture.

**6. Continuous Learning:**
Entrepreneurship is an ongoing learning process. Stay vigilant to changes in tax laws, industry trends, and the evolution of business strategies. Attend workshops, webinars, and conferences to enhance your knowledge continually.

**7. Seeking Expert Advice:**
Do not hesitate to seek advice from experts. Collaborate with accountants, legal professionals, and business consultants to gather information and make informed decisions.

Starting a business is a rewarding journey, but careful planning and consideration are essential. By addressing these key points, you can overcome the challenges of entrepreneurship and pave the way to success. If you have specific questions or concerns, feel free to seek individual advice. Wishing you success in your entrepreneurial endeavors!

Japanese Companies are not good at PR.

11月

23日

Japanese companies, while offering high-quality products to the market, often tend to focus primarily on product development and manufacturing, allocating insufficient resources to public relations (PR) and marketing. Furthermore, PR and marketing activities are predominantly centered around the domestic market, with minimal efforts directed towards international markets, especially in Europe and the United States. In contrast, countries like South Korea and China actively engage in PR and marketing campaigns targeting Western markets, enhancing their international recognition. Despite the potential superiority of Japanese products over those from Korea or China, this advantage is often not well understood internationally unless actively communicated.

This trend is not limited to large corporations but is also observed in smaller businesses. Particularly when selling products in the United States, factors beyond product quality are crucial:

1. **Public Relations and Marketing**
2. **Branding**
3. **Support**
4. **Distribution, Logistics, and Direct Sales**
5. **Returns**

Attention to PR and marketing, specifically considering:

1. **Enhancing Website Presence**
2. **Active Use of Blogs and Social Media**
3. **Regular Video Creation and Distribution**
4. **Engagement in Online Advertising**

Combining these strategies facilitates proactive information dissemination about company names and products, contributing to enhanced competitiveness both domestically and internationally. PSPINC offers a range of support, including but not limited to the following examples, and can flexibly tailor assistance based on specific needs:

1. **Website Development and Design:**
- Constructing mobile-friendly, visually appealing websites.
- Custom design, feature development, updates, and maintenance.

2. **Digital Marketing:**
- Planning and executing social media campaigns.
- Strategic support for search engine optimization (SEO).
- Management and optimization of online advertising.

3. **Cloud Services:**
- Providing cloud hosting and data management.
- Establishing online storage and data backup solutions.

4. **eCommerce Solutions:**
- Implementing cart functionality and payment processing.
- Optimizing product and inventory management.

5. **Security Measures:**
- Strengthening web security and conducting regular vulnerability assessments.
- Providing support for data protection and privacy measures.

6. **Multilingual Support:**
- Implementing multilingual capabilities for websites and apps.
- Developing content that caters to diverse cultures.

7. **Education and Training:**
- Offering training sessions on web-related technologies and digital marketing.
- Developing custom training programs.

8. **Custom Application Development:**
- Developing custom applications tailored to specific business needs.

Through these services, PSPINC aims to support your business or project, providing solutions to strengthen your online presence. Tailored support based on your specific needs and challenges is readily available.

Ken Uchikura Newsletter Vol. 260 Supporting Direct Sales

11月

23日

Supporting Direct Sales

In the traditional model, manufacturers send products through distribution channels to retailers, who, in turn, sell them to consumers. However, the internet now lets manufacturing companies directly sell their products. Yet, this shift brings forth challenges that were absent in the past. Let's explore them.

Product Inventory:
Previously distributed through channels and retail stores, manufacturing companies now must manage all inventory in-house.

Product Shipping:
To sell directly to consumers, product shipping requires an in-house infrastructure.

Support:
Manufacturers are now responsible for providing direct customer support, which was previously a retailer’s role.

Returns Processing:
As part of customer support, manufacturers must also manage processing product returns.

Billing Process:
The website must add the billing feature for every individual sale.

A Website for Direct Sales:
The team must develop a suitable website specifically made for direct sales.

To overcome these challenges, companies must establish an infrastructure for direct sales. Amazon consistently excels in delivering these elements, leveraging its logistics capabilities to match traditional distributors and retailers. It's crucial not to assume that "Amazon equals direct sales".

If you aim to engage in direct sales independently, you must prepare these elements yourself. We offer various services to support such companies in building and managing these essential components.
