By Jennifer Davis


The start of a year is the perfect time to reflect your past year. To look at the successes and failures in your China replacements business. You might have had a successful year, but understand that the road to success never ends. Besides, times are changing and you still have competitors to outwit. So never get comfortable just because your system works for you. Here are some tips to help you improve sales.

Analyze your past revenue trends. Every January is a time to look back at your past year and see how well or bad you did. Look for your most successful seasons. Find out which of your clients are frequent customers and which ones come less frequently. Contact them to assess their satisfaction with your pieces and listen to their suggestions. Integrate these in your stock orders.

Review your previous marketing strategy. Assess your website and ascertain how frequent you get visits on them. Think of ways to increase traffic to your website through online and offline advertising. This may include use of online social media, magazines, television channels and giant billboards. Most importantly, weigh the costs of your past marketing strategy against your sales.

Describe your vision for the year. This should revolve around how you envision an ideal situation of your company. It is always good to think big, but remember to be realistic. A vision is meant to be the driving force behind your efforts towards strengthening your company. So be very specific and make sure you remember it and keep it close to your heart.

Set the company priorities and goals. Identify what stood in the way of your successes in the previous year. Think about projects that you can put in place to get around this. Take your time to develop a list of ideas you could use and pick a few things to do in your first quarter. Be sure to have means of measuring the success of these projects.

Make an ideal profile of a good client. Think of the qualities that your best clients possess that makes it both lucrative and enjoyable to engage with them. From these qualities, develop a profile. Now consider non frequent customers that complement this profile. Find out what they like, contact them and make them a juicy offer that they would be crazy to ignore.

Assess their marketing strategies and identify what works for them and what they do better than you. Make sure you know about their latest changes in strategies and assess how it may affect you.
