What you can do when it is low off season!


Suddenly you discouver that the phones are not ringing and you have lack in sales. Do not panic. That is what we call ”The Summer Holiday”

The summer is YOUR best planning time. It is then when you have the biggest chance to create big changing for the autumn. I know the summer is for reflection and relaxing and that is right. YOU need to rest. But it usually is enough with a couple of weeks of sun and bath for your brain like to get back to work, at least part time. And it is in that enviroment, without the daily routin you can create real changes.

The summer is your time to think. It is now you think on and start what you will present for your customers for the autumn. It is now when you should make plans that keep your customers comming back.

Here are few things you can do while the hot summer goes by and keep your customers busy on the beach.

1) Surf on the Internet and find potential new customers. Ad the sites contacts to Your list make campaigne to email them. That is one great way of letting others know that you and your business exist.

2) Are you promoting your business outside the interent? Why not? How about make flyers or small ads and put them on advertising boarders in your community. When I go to the store for grocery shopping I notice people do read the ad board the store have. A peace of paper of your business and its website will attache and hopefully bring in new potential customers.

3) When was the last time you cleaned your office? During the hectic time you probably have no time to keep your office in order. I mean you may have old customers You have not seen for a while, why not email them with some new exiting news about Your business. Have you added the new customers to your list? You may have papers or files that need to be in order. I am sure there is much stuff you stored and no longer need.

I am certain when you read this you find more useful things to do while your business seems to be on hold for a few hot summer weeks. The important thing is that YOU do not loose patience and keep working to make YOUR business grow to be the best and most profitble in order to survive in the big global world as the business world is.
