Business Lessons Learned from My Visit to Holiday World

Last weekend my wife and I joined some friends and we all took our children to Holiday World for the first time.  All of us agreed that it was the best family amusement park we have been too.  While I was there I was impressed with how the amusement park was run that I enjoyed taking some business lessons from the park.  Here they are:

• Treat everyone one and it will have a positive trickle effect.
• Know your target audience, market to them and service the heck out of them so they keep coming back.
• Create value added benefits and don’t be afraid to market them (Holiday World advertises their free soft drinks and how clean their park is)
• If  you can clearly describe what you are good at then that will be spread to potential customers by others.
• Always make sure your improving as a company.
• Train your employees everyday.
• Everyone wants to be said “hello” to.  A simple “hello” and “thank you” goes a long way.
• Offer enough incentive to bring people to want to buy from you and keep buying from you.
• If your workplace is clean and organized then so is  your business.

Although Galvin Technologies is a web and application development company doesn’t mean that it can’t take business lessons from an amusement park.  The weekend gave our family many memories but it also taught me some valuable business lessons.  I look forward to going back there.
