Meeting the Needs of Consumers in 2013

AP Self Storage  Sustainability Focus for Business Owners: Meeting the Needs of Consumers in 2013 In order for a business to continue to thrive, any successful business owner will tell you that listening to customers is essential. This year, the topic of sustainability has been at the top of the list for many businesses. Consumers have become increasingly focused on the impacts that their purchases have on their wallets, as well as the planet, and have started to abandon the idea that "more is better". Here are a few ideas to bring up at your next management meeting when planning for the future of your business: 1. As global awareness increases about child labor and the working conditions that many laborers have to endure, it is of the upmost importance that time is spent investigating the details of supply chain partners. We need look no further than the recent Bangladesh factory collapse to understand the importance of knowing the manufacturing details about where goods are being created. In a recent article by theHuffington Post, it highlighted that some retailers associated with the factory were feeling the backlash from consumers via Facebook. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/12/retailers-bangladesh-factory_n_3262515.html?utm_hp_ref=business 2. Launching a "takeback" program, where consumers can drop off a used product for recycling, may be an ideal way to attract customers if you are a consumer goods company. Not only does this give consumers a feeling of self-satisfaction that they are not contributing to the already overflowing landfills, it also gives them a reason to visit your store again. Check outNike's "Reuse A Shoe" Programto see how an initiative like this can be successful.   http://www.nikereuseashoe.com/ 3. The interests of women should be of utmost importance to your business. Recent studies have shown that women are strong drivers of the economy, as they are the major buyer for households, as well as an internationally growing group of entrepreneurs. According to current research, women are more likely to care about environmental issues, as well as continuing education for themselves and saving for the education of their children. In a nutshell, supporting women's charities and events would be economically advantageous for your business. For more information on this topic, check out this article from theHarvard Business Review. http://hbr.org/2009/09/the-female-economy/es These are just a few examples of sustainable initiatives that might work for you and your customers.

Cleaning House

AP Self Storage Cleaning House Its official – spring has finally arrived! Here are some tips for our Belcamp, MD community to help you tackle that laundry list of spring cleaning jobs that you’ve been accumulating. http://apselfstorage.com/storage-for-business.html Spruceup your stainless steel: Use a wax based mist to gently clean the stainless steel surfaces in your home. When applying, steer clear from fibrous cloths – they’ll just add lint to the newly polished surface. Try a lint-free cloth instead, like the ones you’d use to wipe off your computer screen. What? You don’t clean your computer screen? You may want to pick up a second lint-free cloth while you’re at it. Closet cleanout:Tidy up that closet of yours by utilizing a rainy day in April to sort through what you haven’t worn lately. Our rule of thumb is, if you haven’t worn it in two years, put it in a box at the bottom of your closet. If you still don’t reach for it in another month – get rid of it. (Remember, April showers bring May clean closets. Ummm….. anyway.) Wash your walls:Seriously. You’d be amazed at how much dust and dirt sticks to them. You don’t need to go out a purchase any fancy cleaners, just a sponge and some water will do. Dampen the sponge and gently wipe the walls; you’ll be amazed at the results. If you’ve got pets, there’s probably a specific spot where Fido likes to rub up against. You may need to add a little dab of mild dish detergent to your sponge to clean his special spot. Clean your carpets:Now’s the time to go to your local grocery or hardware store and rent a carpet cleaner, unless of course you own one. Make sure to vacuum up your carpets and rugs prior to cleaning them. Then, institute a new house rule – no shoes allowed! But, remind your family or housemates to keep their socks on. Bare feet on floors transfers oils, which will attract dirt. Tackle the tiles:Tiles on floors and countertops are so pretty, but aren’t they such a pain to keep clean? Fear not – we’ve got a simple solution to get them looking glorious again. The key to an effective tile cleaner is the pH. No, you don’t need a degree in Chemistry to clean your grout; simply by choosing a neutral cleaning solution, such as baking soda and water, you can cut the grime and leave your tiling looking as good as new.   Please let us know which tips were helpful, or feel free to add your own handy hints below.
