- an online timesheet service
- a nicer office including furniture or a reception area
- out of town conferences for staff
- upgraded analysis software
- a nice holiday party
- more references, maybe in areas which are adjacent to your current area
- learn about new things, like CLT or kinetic structures
- an online file management system like egnyte etc.
- send out some marketing materials like postcards
