Spring Cleaning and Organizing for New Year

In todays podcast episode host Damali Fils explains the importance of spring cleaning and getting organized for the new year.

Spring Cleaning:
So spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime. In many cultures, annual cleaning occurs at the end of the year, which may be in spring or winter, depending on the calendar.

In terms of cleaning and starting a new year. The end of a year or the beginning of a year is a great time to do a deep cleaning of your salon and business! 

So if we are talking about cleaning your salon, which i'm sure it's already nice and clean but what about behind your cabinets? When was the last time you moved it and swept behind it? This is the time to clean and those things and places that you just haven't gotten a chance to do all year, like the base boards, refrigerator, polish the furniture or dust blinds. It's also a great time to organize and get rid of things you may no longer use. Like organizing your files, client profiles, drawers, etc. Use this time to donate and throw away old or unused products and supplies. 

Organizing/updating Business:

Once you have your salon/ suite or station all cleaned up and organized, then let's work on cleaning up and organizing your business!

Considering its a new year there may be some new things happening in your business that clients need to know about: like polices, business hours, location, promotions etc. However you communicate with your guests if anything will be changing for the new year now is the time to let them know. (email/ blog/ text)

Make sure that all your business information is up to date on your social media outlets (IG, Facebook, tik tak, etc). Recently visited one of my favorite restaurants in the area and when I googled the address I realized it look as though there was two location, I had to call to confirm the correct address.

If you have changed or increased your prices, this is certainly a good time to let clients know, people do not like surprises. Its also a good time to increase prices at the beginning of a new year. People understand that things change and they are more understanding in the beginning of the year. 

Another great thing you can do is create a calendar of events promotions for the year, this way you have goals set and things to look forward
