Organizing Around “Down” Times
Do you find some seasons are better for your business than others, that there are “down” times when the income isn’t so good? How do you organize and plan for this?
- Become aware that some businesses are seasonal or are better at specific times during the year.
- Arrange promotions for these times. Some businesses organize sales during “off” seasons.
- Plan to adjust your home and business budgets accordingly.
- Look for new lines to add that don’t greatly increase your expense but will increase interest in your business and sales.
- Find an parttime job that will help bring in income to tide you over. This doesn’t mean your business is failing, just that you need extra capital.
- Find another business with which you can coordinate promotions and sales.
