New Years Resolutions for Small Business Owners

Posted in Local Small Business Marketing with tags , , , , , on December 24, 2008 by jaggeddesigns

2008 has come and is just about gone. Was it everything you hoped it would be? Was your business successful and thriving, reaching beyond your goals? Or, was it on “coast mode”, waiting for the tide to turn? Or worse yet, was it a struggle to even cover your overhead? I hope you fall into the successful and thriving category. Even if you did, there are still ways to improve business, even in a sluggish economy as we are experiencing today.

The following are some New Years Resolutions that Every Small Business Owner needs to make:

  • In 2009 my business is going to break out of the pack, be a leader, instead of a follower. 
  • In 2009, I am throwing the pricey Yellow Pages and those costly, in-effective Value Pack Ads out the window!
  • In 2009 my goal is to increase my customer base by 30%
  • In 2009 my business will expand…To the internet!!
  • In 2009 my business website is FINALLY going to make ME money, instead of costing me money.
  • In 2009, I will find ways to spend more time with my family, and STILL increase my profits.
  • In 2009, I am going to add such terms as “Geo-Targeted Marketing, Search Engine Optimization and Analytic Reports” to my vocabulary.
  • In 2009 I need to find ways to Reward My Customers.
    In 2009 my business WILL increase sales, AND reduce advertising costs.

  • In 2009 I am NOT using the poor economy as an excuse.
  • In 2009 my business will blow my competition away!
