Earning Some Extra Cash for Christmas

By Leave a Comment

I will give thanks to you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. Psalm 9:1 Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! I love this time of year. It’s actually snowing here in Northern Colorado as I type. My 3 year old has just come in from a romp in the snow. We all have so much to be thankful for! I hope you are preparing for business to slow down a little and enjoy the Thanksgiving holiday. Then jump right back in there after you’ve enjoyed some turkey, your family and the Thanksgiving day parade. I’m anticipating the weeks right after Thanksgiving to pick up as we make Christmas sales, but then I’m planning to take several weeks off around Christmas to regroup and enjoy my family! To do this, though, I have to plan to bring in some extra cash before that happens. Are you looking for a few ways to earn some extra money for Christmas shopping this year? Here are some ideas: 1.

Effective Leadership

By Leave a Comment

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need.

10 Things to Help Boost Holiday Sales

By 1 Comment

1. I always encourage business owners to write up their own wish list! This list contains the clients that you WISH you had! Come up with ideas to connect with those clients and send a card or a gift basket from your business. 2. Budget for extra holiday advertising. People can’t support you and purchase from you if they don’t know who you are! Christian business owners can get the word out through Mommy Bag Marketing. You can also purchase local newspaper ads and ad space on prominent websites. Don’t forget those free listings on Craigslist and Backpage.com! 3. Pay for a booth or two at some local craft shows. Make sure you give every attendee a giveaway of some sort! A flier with a piece of candy, a business card with a sample attached, etc. 4. Send out special Christmas cards to past, present and hopeful clients. Include an incentive or coupon of some sort to encourage a response. 5. Participate in an online gift guide. Many are already sold out this year, but make sure … [Read more...]
