Feng Shui for Businesses
After you have done everything in your power to change an unfavourable situation, there's one stone left unturned that could be the key you have been looking for - The building you are operating your business from. The environment in which you spend most time affects you, your staff, your clients, and your businesses performance, for better or worse.
To understand the effect your immediate surroundings are having on people, imagine trying to have a productive meeting with a potential client in a fast food outlet! The ambience is just not conducive for creating a desired impression; yet you are still having a business lunch. The feng shui approach is to understand the conscious and unconscious responses people have to their surroundings. Your work environment not only shapes the way you and your clients feel and act but can also give out subtle signals that jarr with your goals. This can cause, for example, clients or staff to leave without obvious reason. When the feng shui of a building is indicated as the culprit, proprietors often notice a particular unexplainable repeated trait within their business since taking over their current premises - such as "lots of enquiries that don't lead to sales" or "not enough customers" or "people walk in my shop and walk straight out again without looking round". These kind of situations have serious consequences on any business and are the sort of problem that subtly altering the feng shui of a building can often remedy.
Get Your Premises Working For You
Feng shui cures in business range from repositioning desks, mirrors, pictures and plants to painting a wall or in extreme cases installing a water feature in a specific location. All recommendations are in keeping with your culture and business image, specific to your companies goals and take into account any intended renovations etc.
Whilst all attempts will be made to create a supportive environment according to feng shui principles, particular results can not be guaranteed. For example if you locate a flower shop 50km from town, no feng shui can remedy the simple fact customers don't want to travel that far. Strategic signing can help, switching your market to supplying town florists could help, but feng shui can not be replaced by sound business decisions but it can enhance them. If you located the same business next door to a hospital for example, then feng shui could be used to help increase the probability people will buy from you.
