Now here's what's important. When we got past her
tsunami of emotions, things weren't as bad as she thought!
Sure sales were down from last year (but not by that
much) and cash is really tight (always is, this time of year), but the
real problem was what was happening inside her head.
When a deer gets caught in the headlights, it freezes, unable to move,
and it often gets run over. Just like how you'll get run over by this
economy if you get caught up in the gloom and doom and focus on what's
not happening (sales) instead of what can be done (marketing).
And while nobody can deny things are crazy, crazy, crazy, there are
ALWAYS things that can be done. You're going to have to work harder for
less, but that's the reality. You can't control the economy, but you
CAN control yourself and your efforts.
Here are three things that will keep you busy for the next several
days...
- Every day for the next 10 days call at least 6 of your best
customers. This was a tip from a couple of weeks ago, and we got
really positive feedback from the people who used it. To read the

- Walk your business district or shopping center or drive up and
down the road and give away gift certificates to every business owner
and their employees. They should be your customers too.

Retail Mastery System and learn why gift certificates are one of the
best ways to get customers in your store without spending any money.

It's critical for your mental health and your bottom line that you
