BID unveils web site makeover:
Staying informed is the best way to "help BID, help you," so make it a point to regularly check the newly-redesigned BID Downtown website, www.downtowndurango.org. |
Better business results:
As holiday traffic increases, there's less time to communicate with your staff. But better business results can come from better communication. Employees are not mind readers. Take the time to give instruction and feedback. Demonstrate good customer service and acknowledge positive handling of customers. It will pay off. |
Congratulations:
Animas Trading Company was recently recognized by the "Denver Post" as a "Colorado Favorite Place to Shop." Animas Trading was identified as "a really fun place to browse" and the only business selected this side of Aspen to make the cut. Congrats! |
HOLiDAZZLE by the numbers:
