A Message from Our CEO
ROB WINSTON
“Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone and it’s almost December, the fast-paced holiday season is in full force. For many companies, this is the time when sales are booming. The extra revenue can help prepare small to medium-sized businesses for a lull in January when sales often slows down. While December is great for revenue, it can also be a stressful time for business owners. Here are my top 3 tips for surviving the holiday season:
Stay organized and manage your time wisely
The more you can stay organized and manage your time, the less stress you will be under. Keep a well laid out plan of holiday promotions, employee work schedules, and marketing schedules.
Stick to your budget
It is vital to stay on top of your cash flow and not to overspend. Track your income and expenditure and adhere to your budget. Spending too freely and not staying on target with your budget will cost your business in the long run.
Take a break
Burnout is common in business owners and their employees during the holidays. Ensure that both you and your employees take their scheduled breaks. Even a few minutes away from the sales floor can help everyone recharge their batteries. “
