Many business owners begin the new year with lofty goals and resolutions for their businesses. While it's easy to get caught up in the excitement of a new year and a new outlook, as a business owner, you need to make smart resolutions that will not only benefit your business in 2017, but in the coming years as well. For over 40 years T & L Laundry Equipment has worked with coin-op owners from Charlotte to Raleigh to create lasting and profitable businesses.
Whether your plan is to diversify your business investments and include laundromat ownership as part of your portfolio or you are planning to open your tenth laundromat - we are here for you. We proudly carry the finest products from Speed Queen and other top manufactures that will outfit your facility from chairs to washers. T & L also offers in-house financing and scheduled maintenance plans - designed to help you keep costly problems at bay. Aside from planned maintenance on your equipment, what other resolutions can smart business managers make for 2017? Read our top suggestions below.
One of the biggest and best ways to improve your business in 2017 is by increasing your social media presence. More and more people are turning to social media to find businesses and business reviews. Make sure that your business has a Facebook page and other relevant social media channels that are updated regularly and provide consistent information for your customers.
Also, the beginning of the year is a great time to update your website, so if it has been more than two years since you have updated your site - now is the time! Get some fresh photos, change the layout, add social media links and make sure that your site is mobile friendly. It's estimated that 71 percent of website hits now come from mobile devices, like cell phones or tablets. If your website is hard to navigate on these devices many customers are turned off and won't go to a laptop or desktop to find the information they need.
Another great way to grow your business in 2017 is by delegating responsibilities to your employees. Bring in other people to help you with your business, like a financial adviser or bookkeeper, who can help you manage your finances and operating expenses without tying up your time. Focus on building your team and empowering your employees to take over duties that do not really require your attention. Things like filling vending machines, inspecting equipment and social media management can be delegated.
Resolve to be a better communicator in 2017 and watch your business flourish. Take the time to make your employees and customers feel valued and appreciated. These gestures do not have to be lavish, but simple gestures - like personal thank you notes or small monetary rewards for employees - make all the difference in performance and loyalty. If you haven't instituted a customer loyalty program, the new year is a great time to roll one out so that your customers can reap the benefits all year long.
