Slow Day at Work?

January 27, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

ghost toen in your shop? Auntie Kate has some suggestionsNo customers? You’ve vacuumed and waxed the rods and are bored silly? Feel like you’re in a ghost town?

Here’s a suggestion: Learn how to claim your on-line listings. Take your time and do it right.

One thing they forgot, for us entrepreneurs: Make sure that your profile page on Facebook shows your business page. (And make sure that that link actually GOES there.)

Extra credit. For more ideas of what to do when, seemingly, there’s nothing to do:

Rather than stare out the window and worry that everyone’s forgotten you….

Learn to link to get more traffic. (And if you’re embarrassed that you aren’t QUITE sure how to find your own URLs, read this.)

    And get those things done ASAP! Because before long there is no such thing as “nothing to do!” After 5 years, I rarely have 5 minutes between customers, even during the slowest times of the year. So cherish those free moments you get:)
    Which reminds me, I need a great To Do List to keep me on track as the customers file through, so I remember what my actual goal was for the day!

      So true, Kindra! I set an alarm for 2 hours before closing, which would remind me to examine whether I’d actually DONE what was most important on my daily to-do list! (Plus I had an awesome manager, who was a true nag in the best sense…)
