What are some of the new year resolutions you’ve made for your business? Chances are you want to make more money, but how? USA Today has provided a list of 12 tips. Here are the first five.
1. Get listed free. Take 30 minutes — right after you finish reading this column — and list your business, free, on search engine local listings.
2. Figure out what makes you money.
3. Market to current and former customers. Satisfied customers are the ones most likely to be future customers or refer others to you.
4. Get a contact management system. You need a good way to organize, manage, and stay in touch with your contacts, something easy and that you can access from mobile devices, not just a drawer full of business cards.
5. Create a marketing plan.
