5 Business Resolutions to Make in 2017

While most people think of losing weight or exercising more as new year's resolutions, businesses can have resolutions of their own. In fact, they should! How can you improve your business in the new year? Start by creating a plan today! Here are a few resolutions and goals to consider making for your business in 2017:

1. To Actively Increase Sales. 

While everyone hopes to have a better sales than the previous year, that doesn't always happen, especially if you don't put the work into it. Make one of your business resolutions to include a plan for how you're going to accomplish those increased sales. Will you increase your marketing budget to bring in more business? Consider adding a custom vehicle wrap or storefront graphics at the Lake of the Ozarks to your marketing plan to entice people to come to your place of business. Host events or offer promotions to get people to give your brand a try!

2. To Improve Digital Presence. 

Increased sales can be the result of several different efforts working together. One important focus for 2017 should be to improve your digital presence, particularly on mobile devices. Not only should you make sure your website is current, but it needs to be mobile friendly now. You also need to be active on the social media channels that your best customers are active on. If your business is still stuck in the stone age, 2017 is the time to add digital components to your business marketing plan.

3. To Be More Productive. 

How often do you catch yourself wasting time, whether on your phone, social media or whatever? In today's world, there are too many distractions that can easily derail you from that critical business task. Make it a goal to focus more and be more productive when it comes to your business in 2017. Set boundaries and try to keep your personal life out of your business life as much as possible. This also means that when you're not working, don't be checking emails constantly. You need to find a work/life balance that works for you. Finding that balance is the key to a productive day at work.

4. To Delegate More. 

As a business owner, sometimes you can get overwhelmed by the amount of things that need to be accomplished in a day or a week. Make it a priority to delegate more to your staff and team members in the coming year. Not only will you be less stressed, but others will get the opportunity to show you what an asset they are to your company. This resolution focuses on team building and working together for the success of your business. 

5. To Be a Better Communicator. 

Ineffective communication is a common issue in a lot of businesses. Misunderstandings, lack of employee morale and repetitive information can all be avoided with a focus on better communication in the new year. Be sure to evaluate not only how you're communicating with your employees, but also how you're communicating with vendors and clients. Good communication is a key factor in a successful business.
