PrintingForLess Printing Matters Newsletters – Print Buying Tips News and Offers to Help Grow Your Business

There’s nothing like the flip of the calendar year to make you feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for anything. And while it’s important to look forward to 2011, don’t let the sun completely set on 2010. Did you achieve the most important goals and objectives you set at the beginning of the year? If not, why? What did you do well? What could you have done better?

Use these realizations to optimize your business plan for the new year. Start by revisiting old assumptions and then zero in on strategies to gain market share and acquire new business. Look at what worked in 2010 and whether investing more time, money and resources might pay off again next year. It also might be the perfect opportunity to experiment and try something new. But in this unpredictable economic climate, it’s more important than ever to create benchmarks and measure results often to make sure you are getting the best bang for your buck.

Having trouble coming up with new ideas for next year? According to this Small Business Trends article, "the key to being successful at innovation is to never quite be finished."
