Welcome to May, folks. Summer is right around the corner. While the summer months bring cookouts, baseball games and sunburns- you may also find that your business can get a little sluggish. Read on to find ways to help you avoid the summer rut and get you in a better position for the rest of the year.
Client Focus: Button up every job to see if there’s something you missed- or offer a service/product to the client. Offer advice to help increase sales in your industry by informative emails, invitations to local trade shows, and consultations.
Advertise: Reduced rates with less competition spells a formula for success. Get into your consumers’ heads – many consumers are predisposed to spend more money in the summer. Also, now is a good time to look at your marketing strategy to see if it’s in line with your business goals. If not, TOVO can help. We have many years of experience in all industries and we can make a real difference in your bottom line.
Network: Get out there and strut your stuff. You may meet a potential partner though networking in which you can offer cross-promotions to your customers.
Reflect: As your business operations slow down, use this time to look at your current processes, organize financials and brainstorm new ideas. Many times we put our clients first and don’t schedule time to reflect on our own.
Volunteer: Now that you’ve got a bit more time, volunteer! Not only are you doing it for the greater good, but it may also lead to more business opportunities.
Educate: Online classes, webinars, and even Twitter can help inspire you to learn a new skill, strengthen ties in your industry and increase your knowledge to help you grow your business.
