Welcome back to our continuing series on delegating tasks in your business for 2019. In our previous post, we highlighted the benefits of delegating tasks to your staff that don't require your valuable time and attention. By letting your employees manage less important tasks, you can improve your relationships with them, make them feel valuable, and improve your own life through more free time and less stress. Many business owners have difficulty giving up control in their business but they find that once they do they become more productive and their laundromat becomes more profitable. Knowing what to delegate and what to retain control of can be difficult. Here are some tips to help you decide which responsibilities you can hand off in 2019.

Website Design and Maintenance
Your laundromat's website is the face of your business online. Unless you have significant experience with web development and design, the task of designing your website and keeping it up to date should be given to a professional so that you can focus on the areas of your business where you have experience. Having a basic understanding of how to update the hours of your business or add monthly specials or events to your site is essential, but anything beyond that should really be left to a webmaster.
Social Media Marketing
Having a social media page for your business can help you attract new customers, get reviews, and post quick updates about what's happening in your store. Consider hiring someone who has significant knowledge about multiple platforms like Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter, and LinkedIn to help you make your business visible to people who are searching on social media. A social media expert can also help you collect reviews from customers and check review platforms like Yelp! to help protect your laundromat's reputation online.
Customer Service
While it may not seem like a big deal to answer the phone in your business or to interact with customers to help them get what they need, these efforts take up a lot of time in your day. This time could be spent in other ways around your business. Hiring an employee who has customer service experience and skills can help ensure that your customers are taken care of and that you're free to attend to other areas of your business.
Accounting and Payroll
Handing off the expenses and running of payroll to a professional doesn't mean you'll be left out of the loop when it comes to the profitability of your business or your monthly operating expenses. If you're not skilled in these areas, you can lose a lot of time each week figuring out what's due, who to make your payment to, and inputting employee time cards. Instead of struggling through these tasks, hire a bookkeeper to do them for you and spend your time elsewhere.
