Customer Service
One of the major reasons that customer shop at family owned or independent retailers is the level of customer service that they receive. Make sure that your staff realizes that the customer is the reason that they get to collect their paychecks and that it is top priority to take care of them. Set clear expectations that all employees stop what they are doing to engage customers, and then hire secret shoppers to ensure that those expectations are being met. Customers should be greeted upon entering the store. If a customer obviously needs help, staff should come to their aid. Let staff members know that it’s ok to not know the answer to a question; they should go find someone who does know the answer and listen with the customer and learn. (Source: Green Profit Magazine)
Print ribbon care
It’s always great to have extra ribbons for your printer on hand but you could have print quality issues if the ribbon is more than two years old. Over time the components that make up the ribbon start to break down, and you could start to see flaking text, ink not adhering to the media, or other issues. Store your extra supplies in cool, dry environment to maximize the lifespan of your supplies.
