Are you beginning to see signs of a slowdown in your quilting business? Perhaps not yet, and perhaps you won’t. But it’s good to be on the lookout so that you can make changes if you do see this occurring.
We’ve been discussing, at Home Biz Notes, ”signs of the times” to look for that indicate your business or others you’re dealing with are beginning to feel the stress of the current tighter financial times.
Shannon Cherry, in a current blog post, Tough times for entrepreneurs and startups?, at Startup Spark, discusses this topic, too, and indicates areas where things could be tighter in the future. She mentions one area…customer service…where businesses (home based and otherwise) will have to be on their toes and strive harder.
Customers are going to expect more… more services, more payment options, more bonuses to keep them happy.
Chime in and let us know what you’re seeing in your business?
