3 More Reasons To Consider Expansion Plans Before Winter Arrives

Halloween is just one week away! It is arguably the most beloved special occasion of the fall season. For many business owners, however, this time of year is scary for a completely different reason. Holiday shoppers are already beginning to check items off of their shopping lists! What will help your brand get selected over others?

In our last blog, we pointed out that fall is a great time to expand a business as the season provides business owners with many opportunities. Here are three more reasons to consider expansion plans before winter arrives:

1. There are many young people looking for jobs.

School started last month. But that wasn’t the case for many graduates. Now on the hunt for career opportunities, former students are currently seeking part-time and/or full-time positions. By expanding your workforce now, you open your business up to finding qualified talent that can help it to grow. Hiring during the fall also gives you the chance to train new employees before the holiday rush.

“If your business is expanding and you need extra help to meet demand, hiring temporary workers can be a great solution,” affirms MGR Workforce, “You can hire the number of workers you need for the short term, and then when demand decreases, you can let them go. This allows you to avoid the expense and hassle of hiring and training permanent employees only to have to lay them off later.”

2. There are many consumers looking for your help.

It’s important to reiterate the fact that the fall season is well known as the busiest shopping season of the year. With the holidays fast approaching, your business expansion can help you to meet the growing needs of consumers who are doing their holiday shopping. Invest in digital ads, social media and other local promotions. A key ingredient to your brand’s success will be building momentum in the weeks to come. Doing so will garner as much attention from holiday shoppers as possible.

“Your holiday marketing approach should follow an omnichannel strategy, taking all customer touchpoints into consideration,” insists Natalie O’Grady of Sprout Social, “Content across social, digital and advertising should tie back to an overall holiday theme and approach.”

3. You can end 2024 on a strong note.

Every year, business owners look to outdo their numbers from the previous year. How are your numbers holding up? To make 2024 your company’s best year ever, an expansion plan should be put into the works. Expanding in the fall allows you to align your growth plans with your year-end objectives. By expanding now, you can set the stage for an even stronger start to 2025. It will ensure that your business is well-positioned to hit key milestones.

“At the end of the day, business growth takes a great deal of creativity,” writes Anna Baluch of Forbes, “You have to think out of the box and constantly look for ways to stand out from the competition. Don’t be afraid to encourage your employees to do the same as collaboration can spark innovation and lead to unparalleled growth.”
