Tips For Moving Your Business
Once you have plotted out a date for moving your business, I highly recommend getting in touch with your phone company to get all the various details regarding your move.
This includes scheduling installation, confirming the new number(s), and making note of any different rules and regulations that come with an out-of-province move (if you're moving out of province).
Be sure to make good notes, or even record the conversation if you feel that would help you later on.
If you are using a cell phone for business purposes, then be sure to record the new number so that you can reference it when printing out new business cards/brochures, etc.
In the situation where you need to switch phone providers, be sure to give them plenty of notice before your business move so that they have time to make the switch.
Before you announce your new business location to anyone, be sure to check that you have the correct address.
Sometimes we memorise our new address incorrectly, and before we know it, we have given almost everyone we know the wrong information.
Be sure that moving your business goes smoothly by double checking this very crucial information! Websites and newsletters are extremely helpful in connecting with your customers.
Notify your customers and tell them you're moving your business.
Make sure to include your new address and any new phone numbers, etc.
If you're website is going to be down, you will need to speak with your web provider and get all the details regarding the move.
The move is bound to be a little costly, so it's always advisable to save money when possible.
However, it is also good to prepare your new space with a few new items that may need to be replaced.
It good to bring what you need, but not what you don't.
This is especially the case when you are moving your business to a new space, with a new image.
Re-printing your business cards and other stationary materials will give you the chance to change up your image, and add some new color if you want.
Save your money where you can, but know when to invest your money wisely.
Moving your business doesn't have to be a drag; make it into a marketing event and create some fun out of it! Invite the public to visit your new location once you're set up.
You can serve food, or have draws, or even invite the local news station to attend and create more buzz! This is a great time to advertise your new space and give people the chance to see it firsthand.
Be sure to announce your new location, and when the event will be, but also include all the benefits of your new space.
For example; a more central and convenient location, expanded product line, more service providers, or larger space.
People will be natural curious about what is going on, even if they have never heard of you before.
To summarise, it is so important to plan things out before moving.
Remember to back up all your computer information, and above all else, remember the consideration of your customers.
Remind them gently to be patient during this time, and you'll be back and running in no time!
