5 Essential Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Operation
If you’re like most business owners or managers, things can pile up during the winter months. Spring is the perfect time to take an inventory of your operations. This week we will cover five easy ways to freshen up your office space and strategy.
physical clean
By this time of year, most offices need a deep clean. If you don’t have time, hire professionals. Be sure to ask them to clean hard-to-reach spots like windows and trimming. Use this time to go through anything on your desk that needs to be thrown out. Dust off bookshelves and declutter waiting areas. Rearrange furniture to update the look of the space.
Digital clean
Organize your files on your desktop. Delete old photos and files. Unsubscribe from old email lists. Unroll.me allows you to see all of your email subscriptions and unsubscribe with the click of a button. Remember to do this on your phone as well. Download a cleaner app for your iPhone and delete duplicate contacts. Uninstall apps you rarely use or don’t need.
audit
Take a hard look at your books and physical files. Do you have hard copy records of things you need to easily access in case of an emergency? Unsubscribe from services that you are charged for, but rarely use. Look for creative ways to streamline processes and cut down on spending. Organize hard copy employee files or anything else you are required to keep a record of.
marketing refresh
Pretend you are a user who is new to your site. Do a quality inspection. Are all of the links working? Do the pictures need to be refreshed? Update any outdated information. Look at branding all across the board. Is there continuity? Is your brand recognizable? Are you conveying the message and values of the company with clarity? Brainstorm ways to improve your strategy to reach your ideal customer and extend your online presence.

Evaluate any staffing needs you will have later in the year. If one of your employees will be going on vacation this summer or taking maternity leave, call Source One!
