This is pretty much down to the point I suppose. I own my shop. I have had it 3 years. I make a decent living and our profits tend to increase monthly but not as fast as one would hope. I would like to know from other business owners in the forums their experiences with what works and what doesn't in regards to driving profits.
Here are a few of my lessons learned:
I have found that we need residential and business clients to make the money we want to make although we would rather not be working with the residential.
A ridiculous amount of money comes in monthly from virus/spyware removal fees.
Found that flyer advertising usually fails but amazingly enough yellow pages/yellowbook advertising pays for itself over and over again each month.
Found that customers look at the quality of website and generally call the best looking one in their area (been told this numerous times)
any other input from owners?
