I'm assuming you mean my business goals for 2018. I doubt anyone wants to hear about my weight loss goals, needed projects around the house, etc.
I spent 1994 to 2008 in the ChemDry system. Re-started as an independent in mid 2009. Best year income wise since the re-start is 2013. Then for some reason sales dipped 12% in 2014 and 12% in 2015. Sales then increased 20% in 2016 and around 15% in 2017. However the numbers work out percentage-wise 2017 was just a few hundred less than 2013
So I'm hopin to maintain the 15% growth in 2018. Trying out EDDM this year while maintaining my FB/Yelp/Website/Repeat customer postcards/reminder calls - - marketing efforts.
I'm like 98% residential carpet cleaning. I also do tile and upholstery. If I had my druthers I'd just do carpet cleaning. Although I can most of the time make slightly more per hour doing tile or upholstery, at my age I'm happy with my $PH carpet cleaning rate, and it's just sooooo easy and kickback to do carpet cleaning.
No major equipment purchases planned. Got a new van last year.
Here's hoping it all goes as planned!
