5 Easter Tips For Growing Your Business


1. Chase the bigger bunny
To enable growth, a business needs to have a focused and clear vision. Think big - new products, improved services, and more alternative choices to suit client demand.   Establish goals and objectives for the wider business, so that all staff have a clear idea of where the business is headed.  Think big, not small.

2. Get your eggs in order
An organised system for archiving and paperwork will be your business' saving grace. Clear out any old and outdated paperwork, receipts and letters over the Easter period and freshen up your office with more space. Create a system for outgoing invoices, purchase invoices and a cashbook to ensure all information is documented correctly. Growing a business is reliant on being organized.

3. Know your flavors
Be aware of who your competitors are and what products and services they are offering. Read up on industry news while on your Easter holiday. Be knowledgeable on arising issues and noticeable trends. With the strong economy, the time is ripe to take advantage of new business opportunities and further expand the business.

4. Treat your staff to a chocolate
Statistics prove that employees are at their creative and productive peak when they feel valued and acknowledged for their contribution. Inspire and encourage your team by rewarding them when they land an account or impress a client. Have a staff outing day to celebrate achieving team goals and objectives. Organize a day to go to the races or ride in a hot air balloon.  Staff are the backbone of a business and should know that they are appreciated for their efforts.  Surprise them with an Easter egg hunt or a goodie bag with chocolate eggs.

5. Enjoy your Easter eggs
Enjoy a work life balance and take the time out to enjoy your success. Running a business can lead you through countless hurdles and challenges.  Temper your schedule with a break and time to re-energise. Enjoy a cup of hot chocolate and a hot cross bun over the Easter break.

Managing these steps are the key ingredients to a winning recipe for expanding your empire.
