Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business
Fighting A Slump
Advertising is one way to fight back
against a business slump. To get sales jumping
again, try temporarily increasing your ads in
venues that get immediate attention from
potential customers. Daily newspapers and
radio spots could fit that bill. Or try
mailing postcards to prospects. Sales letters
mailed first class might work too. Rather than
a single letter, try a series of three to
five, mailed within a week of one another.
Electronically, opt for ads in e-newsletters
and e-zines that are distributed weekly. And
don’t forget to use your own Web site to
attract customers. Change your offers often to
grab a visitor’s attention.
Packing For Inspection
Traveling for business or pleasure this
holiday season? Speed up your trek through the
airport by packing your carry-on bag ready for
inspection. Group loose items like toiletries
into zip-lock bags. For clothing, use the
airtight clear plastic bags available from
most luggage stores. You pack clothing in
various sized bags, then squeeze out the
excess air. Bagging most of the articles in
your carry-on makes repacking a snap if you
get chosen for an inspection.
