Greetings, divers, dreamers, and doers of the deep! You may be wondering why a CPA firm is giving you advice about signage. Well, at Dive Buddy Accounting, we don't just keep your books water-tight and your tax savings buoyant. We're here to provide weighty growth strategies, because being underwater in your business is not nearly as fun as being underwater with a scuba tank.
Now, brace yourselves. It's time for Donna's pet peeve of the week. Queue the dramatic music. What could it be? Incorrectly filled out tax forms? Miscalculated profits? Nope. It's none other than... drum roll... handwritten signs!
We know what you're thinking. "Handwritten signs?! But I'm a dive shop owner, not an English teacher!" Hear us out, though. How many times have you seen a handwritten sign, maybe in a window or by a cash register, and thought, "That's not spelled right"? Or worse, "That's not even a word!"
Donna, our resident grammar Nazi, has a new rule for your business: no handwritten signs. Yes, you read that right. Banish those scribbled monstrosities to the depths where they belong!
The only exception? If there's an electrical box hanging off the wall or a toilet that's decided to become a fountain. In such cases, a hurriedly scrawled "Danger" or "Out of Order" might be excused. Otherwise, all signs should be printed, spell-checked, and laminated.
Why does this matter? Well, think about it. If your signage looks like it was put together by a hyperactive octopus, what does that say about your business?
Professional, consistent signage shows you care about your image and the experience of your customers. It's not just about avoiding spelling mistakes or grammar faux pas. It's about portraying an image of organization and efficiency.
Remember, your signage reflects your business as much as your offerings do. A hastily scribbled sign can give off a "last-minute" vibe that might make customers second-guess your attention to other details.
So there you have it, folks! Your dive into business buoyancy begins with a simple step: no more junky handwritten signs. Now, go forth and print those signs like the successful undersea entrepreneur you are!
Stay tuned for more of Donna's pet peeves and our soluble strategies for backrolling your bankrolls. Because when it comes to living a life wild and free, on your own terms, with a business that supports you, we all need a dive buddy. Dive in and read our full article to learn more.
