The office - This involves some physical cleaning and moving. Maybe it’s time to switch completely to electronic records. Get rid of those filing cabinets and open up the space. Do some real extra dusting, get those carpets cleaned. Maybe knock down those cubicles and switch your office to an open concept, some say it promotes productivity and creativity. A cleaner, better organized office leads to greater happiness among employees and more productivity.
The website - Are all your pages updated? Are all your facts correct? Are you offering to date services? Is there something you no longer do listed with your services? Is your contact info correct?

Can you improve any of them with a new cover photo? Social Media can be one of the easiest tools for in-house marketing, you should be using it to its full advantage.
Address book - Making sure all your contacts are up to date is the best spring cleaning you can do. Your contacts are at the core to expanding yourbusiness. Whether they are people you can look to for advice or your customers, filtering out the spam, the do not contacts, and the outdated emails can save you a lot of unwanted emails and trouble.
Making sure every aspect of your business is organized and “clean” will only server to your advantage. Clutter, figuratively and physically, can be an unwanted distraction, eliminating this will lead to more success and productivity.
