3 New Year’s Resolutions to Level Up Your Business
Another new year is almost here, which means it’s time for business owners to start planning ahead and setting goals for 2022.
Not sure what to include on your list this year? We’ve gathered three smart New Year’s resolutions to help you take your business to the next level in 2022:
Expect the unexpected
If we’ve learned anything from the challenges of the past two years, it’s the importance of preparing for the unknown. Businesses of all sizes need to stay agile to drive success forward as we all navigate the ” new normal” of living and working through a pandemic.
Right now, one of the biggest difficulties faced by business owners is the ongoing labor shortage. With an already lean in-house team, what happens if several of your employees need to take sick leave at the same time? What if your business is ready to expand, but your current staff is too small to support growth? Outsourcing can be a valuable solution to this common problem!
By outsourcing routine business processes, such as assembly and kitting, packaging, and fulfillment services, you can position your business to keep up critical operations even in the event of a staff disruption or uptick in demand. Choosing a local outsourcing partner that’s available for on-demand and seasonal projects is a smart choice that will give you greater flexibility in running your business without overwhelming your current employees.
Save time and reduce overhead costs
Seeking ways to maximize resources should be a goal for any business, especially in 2022. How can your business save time and money in the new year? A good place to start is by streamlining operations and reducing overhead costs that bog down your productivity and profitability.
For example, transitioning your fulfillment services to a local outsourcing provider is a great way to improve turnaround rates on customer orders, free up warehouse space, and allow your internal team to focus on other core business goals and revenue-generating activities. When you outsource fulfillment services, you’ll gain instant access to a large pool of motivated workers who are solely focused on providing accurate and on-time delivery. Plus, at Ohio Valley Goodwill, our fulfillment services are fueled by human intelligence, not robotics, allowing us to change direction at a moment’s notice to respond to your specific business needs.
Make an impact in your community
Last but not least, make it a goal in 2022 to seek opportunities to give back through your business whenever possible. Non-profit organizations were hit particularly hard by the pandemic and need the support of businesses like yours to continue making a difference. Not to mention, giving back can be very good for your business! Today’s customers want to support businesses that do good in the world and often become loyal advocates for brands that give back. Choosing to support worthy causes can even create a ripple effect that inspires other businesses to take action, keeping the cycle of good deeds in motion in your community.
Did you know that you can support a meaningful non-profit mission while outsourcing fulfillment services (and other B2B services) to Ohio Valley Goodwill? That’s because Ohio Valley Goodwill’s Industrial Services Division is unlike any other fulfillment service in Cincinnati! As a non-profit organization with over 100 years of service in the community, we specialize in local outsourcing solutions that help businesses in Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and Southeast Indiana grow while creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Because our outsourcing services are provided completely in-house, without for-profit middlemen, we’re able to provide quality fulfillment services and other B2B solutions at a value that’s tough to beat. The businesses that partner with Ohio Valley Goodwill not only benefit from lower lead times, increased accuracy, on-time product delivery, and, very often, lower costs, but also the greater purpose of supporting Goodwill’s mission to change lives through the power of work!
