By Sue Smith


Your whale watching tour boat business has been going quite well for several months. Have you given any thought about expanding your business, by offering more products or more services? It may boost your current business and draw new customers. The following suggestions will help you determine whether or not now is the time to expand your budget.

Customers pick up on the moods of employees, so always being upbeat and friendly will go a long way. If customers see employees who look disinterested they will remember that. On the other hand, if they see positive and helpful employees they will remember that too.

When it comes to customer relations, you should always be as considerate as possible. Think hard about what your client will expect to see in a product that they purchase from you, and then do your best to go above and beyond these expectations. This will put you miles ahead of your competition.

When you decide that it is time to hire new employees, you should create a list of the qualities that you are looking for. You can use this list as a checklist when comparing possible hires so you can figure out which ones would better fit your tour boat company. You should only hire employees that meet your qualifications; never settle.

A varied assembly of employees will help you tackle every job that comes your way. A competent workforce will help you compete with your rivals and meet the needs of each customer.

Partnerships are complicated in whale watching tour boat business as all partners typically bring their own ideas to the table, each with a separate opinion. To be successful, partners must look past their individual opinions and develop a strategy to work together. Cooperating for the good of the partnership is essential to maintaining successful operations.

By taking a close look at your sales and promotion strategies, you can double or triple your sales. Split testing is useful because you are not putting all your apples into one basket so to speak. Try various advertising methods, print, radio, TV. Then split again by running two separate ads and compare success of each method, and each ad within that technique.

Holding a contest through your whale watching tour boat business can be a fun and effective way of getting potential new clients involved in your tour boat company. It will help you to get the word out about your business and could draw in a wider range of potential clients than who might otherwise seek out your products.

It is important to your customers that they be able to reach you. Major tour boat agencies usually have 24 hour customer service lines where they can be reached day or night. Although your whale watching tour boat business may be too small to justify 24 hour customer service, you should be able to respond to calls within a day.
