Time flies when you’re building a business, right? 🚀

Before Q2 gets too busy, take a moment to pause, reflect, and reset.

Whether you run a fashion brand, beauty business, Furniture & home décor, digital services, or anything in between, quarterly reviews help you grow with intention.

Here’s your simple guide to review Q1, plan for Q2, and how Chpter can support your journey.

Step 1: Reflect on Q1 — The Good, the Gaps, the Growth

Before planning ahead, it’s important to look back and understand what worked and what didn’t.

Take 30 minutes to ask yourself:

  • What were your top 3 wins?
    Maybe you finally launched a new product, got featured by an influencer, or hit your sales target for January.
  • What slowed you down or cost you money?
    Was it poor stock management? Missed customer messages? Low engagement on certain platforms? Delivery delays?
  • How many new customers did you gain — and from where?
    Compare this to repeat customers. Are people coming back, or dropping off after one purchase?
  • Which channel brought in the most leads?
    Instagram DMs? Click-to-WhatsApp ads? Word of mouth? Website traffic?
  • How did your WhatsApp campaigns perform?
    Use Chpter’s dashboard to track open rates, click rates, and conversions.

Look at both the numbers and the narrative. It’s not just what worked , it’s why it worked (or didn’t).

Use Chpter insights to pull performance data and customer growth trends.

Step 2: Plan for Q2 — Clear Goals, Clear Action

Now that you’ve reflected, let’s map out a Q2 game plan:

  • Revenue Goal:
    Set a realistic target — maybe a 15–30% increase. What will drive this? More campaigns? Higher order value? Better retention?
  • Customer Growth:
    Set a target for how many new customers you want. Think about how you’ll get them, Click-to-WhatsApp ads, lead magnets, referrals, or promotions..
  • Campaigns to Launch:
    Identify key dates coming up, Mother’s Day, Easter holiday, school holidays, etc. Plan your offers, timing, and channels.
  • Lead Generation:
    Are you using ads, Instagram content, or website forms? Link everything to Chpter to capture and manage leads seamlessly.
  • Automation Goals:
    What can you stop doing manually? Set up automation for welcome messages, FAQs, cart recovery, and follow-ups using Chpter AI.

🧠 Connect the dots:
More leads → more campaigns → more conversions → higher revenue.
