Looking Bleak! 

How Can I Drum Up Some Business?

 

January is often a tough time for stamping business owners.  Because most bookings take place a month in advance, the December holidays have a nasty habit of reducing the number of commitments you're able to secure for January.

 

You can, however, do several things to increase your numbers…

 

First, hit the phones hard NOW!  There's still time for some late January bookings.

 

Second, make sure you're calling people in very early January.  Tell them about your catalogs and mini catalogs, and see if they'd like to place orders over the phone.

 

Remember, sales is a numbers game.  You can minimize a lot of the January doldrums by simply putting forth a committed, consistent effort!
