Small-Business Owners Cautious of Going Overboard on Holiday Gifts, Bonuses
|
Gift giving doesn't have to be extravagant for your employees or customers. Even the smallest gesture often brings great appreciation. So don't forget your employees and clients this holiday season, even if its a card or a phone call. Happy Holidays!

Small-business owners don't want to be Scrooge, but a pessimistic outlook this holiday season means many are cutting back on gifts, parties and bonuses.
A new survey from American Express OPEN indicates that less than a third of small retailers think holiday sales will be strong this year - down from 41% last year - and 34% of all small businesses expect this season will be weak. The government shutdown and other economic uncertainties are weighing heavily on small business owners' minds, says Alice Bredin, Small Business Advisor to American Express.
