We're more than a month into the new year but people are still looking for fresh ideas. Maybe you made some resolutions and maybe you didn't. Either way it's a good idea to try something new if you want your small business to continue to grow and succeed. Keep reading for some great tips and to learn more about how you can use Stockpile in your business.
New Marketing
Your tried and true ad campaigns may have worked well in the past but it's a new decade and it might be time to try something new. If you want to stand out and capture your customers' attention you need a fresh new message. Of course, the year 2020 lends itself to vision puns but you don't have to go there if you don't want to. Those jokes will likely be overdone in no time so it might be best to avoid them anyway.
New Offers
Discounts are a great way to bring your customers in. After the holidays many people are looking for ways to save money so they will appreciate any special pricing you can offer.
New Products or Services
A new selection of products or services can also spark interest among customers. Don't rely on the same old same old to keep customers coming back. Look for ways to expand that enhance your current line and add value to your customers.
New Customers
Growing your customer base can really help secure your company's future. Ask your current customers to spread the word about your business. Offering a small discount or referral perk can really get them excited about promoting your business. Since people value personal testimonials from friends and family over general advertising this can be a winning strategy.
New Look
This last suggestion may be the most expensive but it can have the greatest impact as well. If your business is showing its age or looking worse for the wear it might be time to update your look. Fresh paint, new lighting, and some new furniture and decor may be in order. Most people will avoid a shabby looking business. They prefer to do business with companies that project a successful image and look clean and inviting. If you're not confident about the image you project spruce it up some!
