The crepe myrtles are making a show! I love this time of the year...the fresh green of new growth and the bright colors of flowers blooming. It's time for Down Home Design & Glass to come out of hibernation. We are gearing up for a busy summer. If you have been on our business website lately, you have seen that we are looking for an experienced glazier. My goal for the end of summer is having two to three trucks running full time, and three to five employees.
For businesses like ours that are gearing up for their busy season, spring is a time of preparation. Time to make sure vehicles and machinery are operating correctly, and operating procedures are fine-tuned as well. How is marketing? Other than adding signage to the truck(s) this year, and possibly improving our online presence in the Yellow Pages, I don't think I will do anything different than what our current marketing strategy is, unless is falls substantially below our 15% threshold.
What are you doing this spring? Do you have a business idea you have been mulling? Is it time to act on that idea? Are you planning any home improvement projects? Do you have any special plans to spend time with your family? Planting anything in the garden? Or maybe you are considering raising a few chickens? : ) Whatever your goals/ambitions are, I hope you enjoy this wonderful season!
