Here is a list I have put together of things small business retailers could reasonably consider at the start of this new financial year:
- Change your passwords. Share them sparingly.
- Review your department and categories. Ensure they accurately reflect your business and how you want performance reported.
- Review system use to determine if fraud is an issue. Our help desk team can help business owners (and only business owners) with this.
- if you are not using Discount Vouchers, consider it as it continues to be the easiest and most effective revenue and return visit building tool we have see.
- Review your opening hours / roster based on a revenue by time assessment.
- Take a look at workflow at the counter. Look at steps you can take to streamline the experience. More efficient sales will help drive sales revenue.
- Set aside every invoice that you currently enter manually. Email a copy to us at support@towersystems.com.au along with supplier contact details. We will reach out to them for you, encouraging them to provide you with an electronic invoice, which will save time and improve data accuracy.
- Consider cloud based backupfor faster, safer, backups.
- If you have a website, consider an SEO campaign to lift its profile. If your website is more than two years old, consider a refresh or replacement.
