Spring is here and Source One has you covered with 4 tips for spring cleaning your business! Normally when you think of spring cleaning, you might picture organizing your desk or cleaning office windows. A real deep clean is so much more than that. From organizing your world on and offline, these are a few ways you can start the second quarter focused and refreshed!
Website
In the busyness of the holidays and New Year, websites often get overlooked. Your website is your online real estate. It is often the first place new clients, potential employees, and vendors go. Now is the perfect time to make sure everything to up to date. Is there old information that needs to be deleted? If you had a great event recently, be sure to add new posts. Take new pictures of staff members. Make sure all of the website copy, messaging, and color schemes match your brand. Be sure to update your Google listing also.
INBOX
Inboxes can be overwhelming. Use a free service like unroll.me to unsubscribe to email lists that you need longer need. This service can also group similar emails into a roll, helping you stay organized. Consider creating tags or folders within your inbox to categorize incoming mail. Anytime you receive a particular type of email, you can quickly file it, keeping your inbox clear each day. Create a system within your inbox that works for you. Delete old promotional junk emails. Once you’re done cleaning, be sure to back up your inbox so you have a record in case of emergencies.

Take time to evaluate where and how you are spending. Pausing once or twice a year to do an in-depth look at your accounting could save you a ton of money in the long run. Thoroughly look at each department and decide if there are ways you could cut back. If a certain strategy is working, you may want to reallocate funds toward that. Think through monthly services, software, and any payments you are making regularly. Find ways to automate where you can. Call companies, for example, your insurance company, and ask for any available discounts.
Staffing
Last, but not least, consider your staffing needs. Maybe a part-time social media person could help you update your online presence. An HR assistant could help you clean out old files, update current ones, and set up an automated system for your company’s payroll. Benjamin Franklin said, “For every minute spent organizing, an hour is earned.” Don’t underestimate the power of hiring someone to help you with tasks you do not have time for.
