This month we talk about two things that can be a bit challenging to manage... saving for the holidays and your inventory. If you have yet to begin saving for the holidays, don't fret, we share ideas to help you put some cash aside quickly. And remember, sometimes giving your time is the best gift of all.

If you have a storefront, you know how challenging it can be to manage inventory, especially around the holidays. Read our inventory article for smart ideas on managing your inventory that will help your cash flow as well!

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving! So that our team can share the holiday with their family, our office will be closed on Thanksgiving and will reopen the following Monday. If you have questions on any of this content, give us a call at 724-359-5022. 
SAVING THE HOLIDAYS! 
Holiday Savings
It's not too late to save!
It's that wonderful time of the year.  Seems like after August we skip Halloween and Thanksgiving and go right into retail Christmas mode.  Do you have enough gifts for those you care about?  This is the question that many people are forced to answer when it comes time to shop for the holidays.  With the season of giving fast approaching, it's time to think about what you will get for others and how you will be able to afford the gifts.

Yes, budgeting throughout the year can help but what if you never got around to it?  It's all too easy to get caught up in everyday life and forget about the holiday season when spring and summer roll around.  Next thing you know September and October have passed, November is knocking at your door and you have not even started to think about what you will get everyone let alone where the money will come from. Don't fall into the trap of charge it today and you'll pay for it after the holidays.   See how even a little change can make a difference in your holiday spending.
DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT INVENTORY?
Inventory Management
Managing Holiday Inventory
Have you ever gone to a store looking for their"hot" item of the season to find out that they just sold the last one?  Part of being successful is making sure that you have enough of the right product on hand.  In a perfect world you would sell out of an item to the last customer walking through the door.  We all know this rarely happens.  The key is to find the "magic number" of how much inventory to carry so you have just a little of a product left over as the season rush comes to an end.  

This is easier said than done you may say.  But there are ways to help make sure that you optimize your merchandise for the season, and to do your best to have sufficient options for your customers to keep them coming back.
