MellissaDecember 24, 2020A Milestone marks a time of accomplishment and of moving forward to the next thing.
The same way families celebrate birthdays, graduations and weddings, business owners can and should recognize important milestones to acknowledge all of the hard work that went into making them happen.
Every business regardless of size will have achievements to celebrate. Whether you’ve exceeded a sales milestone or are approaching a major anniversary, you should take time to commemorate these accomplishments.
Although you’re likely busy in your role as a small business owner, you shouldn’t ignore your achievements. Celebrating your business milestones gives you the opportunity to reflect on
- the steps it took to get you there,
- the sacrifices you had to make,
- things you wished you had done differently
- and what steps you need to take to ensure that you create more milestones and ultimately grow your business.
How To Celebrate Milestones
Here are 4 simple ways you can celebrate your business milestones and include your customers in the celebration:
1. Post On Social Media
Create an eye-catching post informing your social media followers about your latest achievement.
2. Email Your Subscriber
Email your internal subscriber list informing them of your exciting news and how they’ve contributed to this achievement.
3. Update Your Website
Publish a blog post or create a home slider post informing your visitors about your major milestones and you can also add how you were able to achieve it.
4. Create a Promotion or Giveaway
You can create a campaign around your major milestone by offering customers a free product/service or discount. This is a good way to highlight your achievements and at the same time give something back to your customers.
In a world where it seems like it’s all about the “big wins,” it is helpful to remember that every win is a victory. Each experience helps prepare us for what lies ahead, so celebrate!
Remember to celebrate milestones as you prepare for the road ahead.
– Nelson Mandela
