Meet the Panelists!

Laura Richardson – Founder & Director of Beauty of Business

“I started a blog when I was 23 as a hobby, I learned through this how to market, edit, create videos, how to build websites and more – this lead to me pursuing a Masters in Digital Marketing and creating an online business that helped local, independent businesses with their online marketing. I shaped this into Beauty of Business – the core of which is social media management, website design, online branding, 121 consultancy and online workshops to teach entrepreneurs how to utilize Instagram to grow their audience and increase their sales.

“Overcoming the pandemic in business – what a learning curve! The pandemic taught me A LOT about the structure of my business. Firstly, making sure you have contracts in place! I had to look at my business model, and evolve. Even though I work inherently online, I was operating my business locally and statically. So I had to adapt: I moved my workshops online, I started looking at what the problems in my industry were from my client perspectives and offering a solution and how I effectively could communicate this to my audience, current and potential clients. This has led me to creating a three tiered approach to suit multiple budgets and levels of ability; offering consultations over a period of months, making applicable and bitesize workshops to help businesses to adapt online using the strategy I have applied to my own business and making sure my time is allocated correctly – from streamlining my enquiry approach, to having set, clear boundaries, timescales and pricing with a transparent breakdown of what is included with each of my services. This has allowed me to see where I can grow my business and in which direction I want to take it by helping as many businesses as possible.”
