Galaxian

Tonight, we expect the first of several fun changes to Community Martial Arts. One of the thing I have always wanted was my very own personal arcade.  Some of my most memorable times were spent dropping quarters into my favorite games.

I wanted to share my love of the classic arcade with you. We have acquired our second arcade machine Galaxian, a cocktail style arcade game that you can play against your friends or family.

Here is a video of the game play… the memories

Tonight we focused on eye-hand coordination drills for the kids and followed up with some great sparring drills. The adults warmed up to a great workout and finished with more sparring drills and actual sparring. Fun was had by all.

Today’s post will be a short one. As I sip my coffee and getting ready to head to my first meeting of the day, I took a look around. One thing that struck me was the room that I am sitting in.

What would be the reason that someone would want to do business with me? How does the customer feel about my business when they walk in the door?

Is my business welcoming?

Are they enticed to buy?

Do I have an environment that is conducive to attract and enable buyers to spend money with me?

One of the major improvements I did to my business is totally renovate it over the holiday break. I spent some time and money to make the space feel more open and welcoming to my perspective clients. I specifically focused on customer satisfaction and comfort. The key to my business is satisfaction and how the customer feels as I provide my service. I added free premiums such as providing high end coffee and cappuccinos. I also provide free wireless Internet to make their visit inviting and comfortable.

While this model won’t work for every business, you can spend some time looking at your business from the customer perspective. Evaluate what small things you can do to make their visit as welcoming as possible. I believe it to be a ‘visual hug’ where I provide an environment that says “I want you as my customer.”

First and foremost it is a New Year. With the launch of this new site, I want to wish everyone a very prosperous new year. 2009 already looks like it is going to be fun filled and very successful.

With all the television commercials we see out there about weight loss and changing habits, we sometimes become numb to the reevaluation of our habits. Keeping a eye on our processes is important to our business. I get tired and worn out. I sometimes get stuck doing the same things over and over because they seem to be driving results to my door. Why Change? It is always a good process to reevaluate your marketing to see if it really is driving the results you are looking for. Being a small business owner, we want to make sure we are getting the most bang for each dollar spent. Often marketing returns diminish with time.

With our current economic situation it is very important that when we spend money we are going to get the absolute best return on our investment. Here are a few things I am doing to clean to ensure that I am getting the best return:

• Clean up my direct mail list – Am I targeting the right customers?
• Evaluate my marketing mix – Do I get the number of new leads or business each month?
• Website clean up – Does my website reflect what business I am trying to attract or sell?
• Trends – What trends do I see with my marketing efforts as they reflect sales
• Customers – Does my target marketing efforts match who is actually buying my product?

These are just a simple list of things that I am doing to spruce up my New Year. Take time out this week to evaluate your marketing efforts and clean things up, reevaluate your marketing efforts and prepare for a prosperous New Year.
