Casual Articles - Seasonal Business Preparations: Are You Ready To Benefit From The Christmas And New Year Break?
Since Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act in 1990, people who previously had limited or no access to public places now move about with a degree of ease in the workplace. While these people have their challenges with sight, hearing or movement, those who work with them are often confused about ho

Organise a staff party to show you value their hard work, boost staff morale, reward loyalty and encourage team spirit.
Make time to relax and recover before the New Year.

Attitude checkup. If you’re looking for exactly what you had before and you won’t take anything less, let it go.It’s understandable that if you’re over 50 you would want to do what you’ve always done, but this is not the time to stay in your comfort zone. This is the time to test the wate
One of my more effective clients uses this action plan to ensure he is ready for the seasonal break and can enjoy his Christmas and New Year properly.
Plan ahead
Predict the demand levels for this season from what happened last year. Hire temporary staff to meet your seasonal demand without adding to your long-term costs.
Plan your cash flow through the holiday period and organise stand-by funding to boost your working capital if your sales exceed your expectations.
Send greetings cards to your best customers, remind them what you offer, and tell them your closure times. Ask your suppliers which days they close and check how this impacts the service you offer your own customers.
Find out from your freight and distribution supplier when the cut-off dates are for the last post.
Deliver your promises
Check your stock levels, noting which of your stock is seasonal and avoid over-stocking - in January their value falls to nil.
Avoid over-trading and re-schedule contracts that you cannot meet to protect your business reputation. Prioritise regular customers because they provide loyal custom throughout the year.
Pre-book a reliable company to deliver your customers’ goods because Christmas gifts arriving on Boxing Day will damage your reputation and spoil your customers' enjoyment.
Close down cleanly
Clear your paperwork before you break, ensure prompt bill payment during the holiday period and send off your own invoices too.
Check your security procedures and key holders before you close down. Update your answer machine regularly. (How burglars love automated email or phone responses that say "Everyone’s away, please come round when you like".

As a kid I spent hours alone, practicing the cello, writing novels and playing with my pet mouse. Yes, I played with a gang of neighborhood kids, too, but there's always been a strong "lone ranger" streak in me.It wasn't until I was 36 years old that I finally began to understand fully the power and creat

I understand the allure of trading these wild news events. I used to dream of it myself. It sounds like easy money. Just trade for short periods of time. Make a great return on your investment. It sounds so good!Then the reality of the issue settles in. Most brokers widen the spread during these times. Fo

Too often, restaurants and other businesses keep dead-weight or below average employees because it's hard to hire. Unfortunately, the good employees pick up the slack and often make about the same money, or less in some cases, as the problem employees.It’s easy to say run short-handed, but if it’s not p

In your quiet times, think how this year has treated you, what you want to change and plan large tasks in small steps.
Plan your own training and personal development for January or February if you expect a marketing lull at that time.
