A business goes through some cycles all the time. But the worse cycle is when it starts depreciating. This can lead to low sales and falls in the reputation of the business. This is not a time to only think about selling the business you can still work on the business by doing the following

Rebrand the product
You can change the package, color or size of the product

Use different means to advertise the business

Bring in more innovative ideas, do some researches and add trending ideas to it

Touch up your staff, give them more training and teach them how to run the business in a more inspiring way

If possible overhaul your entire system by doing things different from how it has been done for years

What do you think of this?

I understand the depreciation of the business which usually caused by the big competition. The customers will be shifting their allegiance to big stores especially when there is a nearby mall. Rebranding can help but you need more innovation on the sales and marketing. It is not only the price that matters but the entire relationship with the customers.

Those are very good points to recover a depreciating business. Business depreciation can cause so much depression, but you shouldn't fall for it as there is so much you can. Also don't sell it as that is not a good option. You can start packaging products differently, advertise differently, retrain employees and change the ingredients or raw materials.

I think it is very important to determine the reason why the business is experiencing depreciation in value. Most times it is usually as a result of low sales. If that is the case then you need to work on your marketing strategy and think of a way to make more sales. you can hire a copywriter to develop a marketing plan for your business so as to make more sales.
