Ways to Increase Revenue

Successful business leader Loren Wesley Vankirk has served as the CEO of Vankirk Electric for more than two decades. In this capacity, Loren Wesley Vankirk oversees the direction of the electrical construction company and is responsible for implementing corporate strategies, managing company resources, and increasing revenue.

In business, the only ways to generate more revenue are to increase the number of customers, transaction frequency, average transaction size, and/or prices. Increasing the number of customers is a pretty straightforward strategy for increasing revenue. When there are more customers making purchases, revenue will naturally increase. Businesses can increase their customer base by offering newsletters, maintaining excellent customer service, and keeping an up-to-date website.

Increasing transaction frequency and transaction size is a bit more challenging. For transaction size, businesses must focus on upselling their products and services to ensure that each customer is spending more money on each transaction. Meanwhile, transaction frequency requires businesses to get existing customers in the door more often. This can be accomplished by developing ongoing relationships with customers to encourage them to return more often.

Finally, companies who do not change their transaction volume, size, or frequency can still increase their revenue by increasing the price of their product or service. When doing this, businesses must be careful that they don’t alienate their existing customer base by raising prices too much. Instead, it may be safer to cross-sell or bundle complementary products and services together.

The Golf Course at The Georgia Club

Talented electrical contractor Loren Wesley Vankirk leverages over 40 years of industry experience to oversee operations and strategy at Vankirk Electric as its CEO. A member of The Georgia Club, Loren Wesley Vankirk enjoys golfing when he’s not busy leading his company.

Located near Athens, Georgia, The Georgia Club provides members with numerous resort-style amenities. The Club is also home to the Chancellor’s Course, a well-manicured, 27-hole golf course. This course is one of the country’s top-rated and was designed by Denis Griffiths. Most holes feature generous fairways and are lined with hardwood trees to add some difficulty.

Players of all skill levels can enjoy the Chancellor’s Course, thanks to its focus on par-3 and par-5 holes. Each par-5 hole allows golfers to enjoy a more challenging experience and includes plenty of opportunities to reach the green in just two shots. The course also maintains a few par-4 holes, the longest of which covers more than 460 yards and requires some creative thinking. While these may be the more challenging holes, the course’s par 3s are frequently more difficult than they appear and are still difficult enough to be enjoyed by skilled players.

Golfing on the Chancellor’s Course normally costs between $59 and $69 on weekdays. During weekends, prices increase to between $69 and $79. The Georgia Club also makes the greens available to junior players below the age of 18 and has putting and chipping greens for practicing.
