In the last few years, retail holidays like Cyber Monday and Small Biz Saturday have gone from being discount secrets to important parts of the holiday shopping scene. Competition among retailers can be pretty fierce, so it's important to take steps to be prepared for these important money-making events.

Let's look at some ways you might be able to up your game:

For more than two centuries, members of our Armed Forces have defended our country with unyielding courage. In our Nation's times of need, these brave patriots step forward to answer America's call, leaving behind everything they know and love.

--excerpt from President Barack Obama's 2014 Presidential Proclamation for Military Family Appreciation Month

You may or may not have seen the 2000 movie Pay It Forward, which chronicles a boy's plan to do good deeds for three people. Rather than paying him back for his actions, the recipients are to pass on his kindness to three other people in hopes that there will eventually be a worldwide network of good deed doers. It was a somewhat sappy movie, but the idea did catch on.

Everyone loves a sure thing. It always feels safer to sign on with the old established war horse than to take a chance with the new kid on the block. For those who took that leap of faith years ago, we thank you. Some need a little more convincing, and that’s fine. For those who signed on with us after we’d been around the block a few times, we thank you.

Our relationship with our clients is one of the many things we have to be grateful for. This year we'd like to a 16 BIG WAYS we appreciate you!

With the calendar’s annual lineup of holidays approaching, it's not unusual for a business owner to wonder: “should I send holiday cards this year?” While making the decision, it's natural to ponder the benefits of spending the time and money on such an activity.

Does it really make that much of a difference?

The short answer is yes. Businesses, both large and small, still send greeting cards to their customers for many reasons, but mainly because they've found that customers still appreciate the gesture. One of the newer trends is sending Thanksgiving cards, which means your greetings will arrive before the glut of Christmas and New Years cards sent by other businesses saturate customer’s mailboxes.

Have you given any thought to how your business will be celebrating Halloween this year? Will you limit it to throwing a few black paper cutouts of bats in the store window, or go all out by having a sale on everything orange? Why not try a fun-filled event, sure to have your customers clamoring to attend and, just as importantly in this digital age, posting comments and photos on social media!

Everyone loves to make something, as evidenced by the success of Paint Nite or Plant Nite, where people go to a venue, such as a restaurant, socialize with their friends and go home at the end of the night with their own newly created painting or terrarium. Your business can take advantage of these trends by holding your own Halloween craft night!

Building a successful business is a challenge. The key to realizing your dream of a prosperous company is focusing your energy on well-defined goals that not only help you and your team understand the direction your business is heading, but help you get there in style.

“Goals? We're going to talk about goals again? I don't have time to make goals—I just need to make money!”

Wouldn't it be AWESOME if 2017 were your best year EVER? Now is the time to start planning for that success!

You need to have an action plan in place so starting the new year will be easy as pie. Decide which areas you should focus on. Will you develop a new product, work on improving your sales conversion system or find some new ways to get more people in the door? Once you have a goal in mind, decide what your criteria of success will be (how many customers came in the store, how many units of the new product sold, etc.) Finally, detail what action steps you'll need to accomplish these goals and then decide who will be in charge of them.
