It's also a time to make sure you have the right inventory on the floor. Remember, customers vote with their wallets, and tracking the demand is critical. This is also a good time to learn your POS system and study the reports to find trends and demand that you can capitalize on!

As a business owner it's good to see someone doling out good advice for others. Fortunately we've got the branding part down, since that's part of what we specialize in, but for most small businesses it's the biggest void they have going. Sadly, image is REALLY important. And it is an investment, a very worthy one. I can't wait to check out the firm you linked above. But great list. Great advice. I hope this is just what the doctor ordered for everyone who reads it! :) What a great post. As a business owner it’s good to see someone doling out good advice for others.

I am not much of a consumer myself but any time a store in my neighborhood emails me about a party their having, I'm there. And I usually buy something too! I couldn’t agree with the last tip more.
