Learn about your competitors. Read their websites and check their updates in their business. Take survey from customers which company they prefer and why. Use their feedbacks as your guide so you can improve your business. Check what your competitors have and what you are missing, fill up that blank and also fill the spaces with what your competitors lack. So you have more buyers but make sure it benefits your company and produces profit.

  1. Increase price

First check all the pros and cons of increasing price of your services and products. Do not let it out for the world to see that you are increasing your price. But make it clear to your current clients about the prices that have been set and the date when you will be applying the new prices.
