Many service businesses may not be experiencing a loss of business or a reduction in turnover, but the longer the liquidity problems in the banking sector continue the more pockets of the ordinary man on the street will begin to tighten. The real question should not be "is it real"? but what should we be doing to insulate our businesses from recession.In my case I am trying to develop additional income streams making sure that my business doesn't rely solely on domestic, shop front or commercial but a mixture and by seperating my gutter cleaning into a business of its own and adding carpet cleaning and other services.I am also increasing my advertising and begining to offer incentives to my one off customers if the re use any of our services with in 8 weeks.I hope that the result of these efforts will be a bigger business, but I'd settle for remaining in business if it really begins to filter down to us.
Im thinking of offering nude house cleaning for the over forties ! £50 per hour , and £100 per hour for extras !
