Top 5 Ways to Improve Your Business

So you have a business in the City of Milwaukee that is based on customers coming in the door, sometimes called pedistrian traffic. Here are some ways you can improve that traffic specifically if you are in a commercial corridor. 1. Keep it Clean Try to keep your establishment clean. If you have to, add additional trash cans where possible. Have regular cleaning schedule. Keep a subtle fragrance in the air. Don't forget the bathroom. 2. Maintain the facade and entrance Patrons and passerbyers will always see the facade and entrance first. This is your first impression. Clean windows, fresh paint and professional signage is important. Masonry, lighting and awnings are just important. 3. Get Involved Attend meetings when possible and participate in events. 4. Know Your Community If you do not know who the local stakeholders are, you are missing out on very key supporters. Community organizations, alderpersons and other businesses all play a role in community. 5. Keep it Green Keep the grass cut, remove weeds from the cracks, plant flowers (when possible) and maintain the landscape. Many businesses stop maintaining the lot after the grand opening.
