LET'S TALK BUSINESS
Offline Holiday Marketing Ideas
Get some canvas tote bags printed up
with your business information printed on it. Find a few ladies who
are very active in your community and ask them to use your tote bag
and give it to them for FREE under the agreement that they will use
it every time they go out in the community for errands & events!
Get a license plate made up for your
vehicle! If you have your normal license plate on the back of your
car, put your business named one on the front of the car!
Check out your local area State Fairs
& Community Carnivals, there are always a lot of them going on
during seasonal weather. Ask about getting a booth or table & set it
up with your business information! People love to shop at Fairs &
Carnivals and they are looking to spend money!
Do a neighborhood children's
Christmas shopping party! To make this successful make sure the
products you are offering are economical, I try to keep them under
$25.00 each with most being around $10.00 each. Have a table set up
with some inexpensive crafting supplies and let the children make
their own greeting cards to go with the gifts they have purchased or
have a gift wrapping table set up so they can personally wrap their
gifts!
Print up some flyers and get
permission from local shopping centers to see if you can leave them
on car windshields! Always ASK permission first!

THANKSGIVING PLANNING
Make this Thanksgiving a Memorable One
Before you
know it, the friends and loved ones you cherish most will join you
for Thanksgiving dinner. Whether you’ll be serving the traditional
turkey with all the trimmings, or your signature dish, how you set
the stage will be the key to making this holiday a memorable one.
That’s not to say you need to go out and buy new furniture and
paint the dining room for the occasion, but “A few carefully
chosen pieces can make all the difference, and a good place to
start is with the table,” says Suzanne Wilkins, an expert on
residential interior design and space planning, who works both in
the private sector and as an instructor at The Art Institute of
New York City.
Because Thanksgiving is a fall festival, start by putting down a
yellow, orange or red tablecloth symbolic of the season, then
build from there. Charles Keath Home (CharlesKeath.com) is a great
place to turn to for ideas.
You can find everything from seasonal place settings and
centerpieces to serving dishes and serve ware. Among the many
offerings, quilted leaf place mats and napkins, and the
complimentary Toscana Harvest china collection, featuring plates,
bowls, baking dishes and coffee mugs graced with scalloped details
in brilliant shades of pomegranate, pumpkin, eggplant and lime.
Once the table is set, you can move onto ambiance. Put seasonal
candles on the table, and throw a log in the fireplace, if you
have one. If you don’t, a great alternative is the Elizabeth
Ventless Jel Fuel Fireplace offered by HomeVisions.com. This
ventless fireplace made of solid hardwoods can be set up on any
wall. It includes a realistic looking double log and two cans of
jel fuel. One can of jel fuel lasts 2 to 3 hours. (Not a heat
source; for decorative purposes only.)
Another decorative accent to consider is an additional place for
people to sit both before and after the meal. Montgomery Ward
offers an inexpensive upholstered nook set that doubles as a
storage bench, available online at wards.com. The four-piece set
includes one single, one corner and two double benches. After the
holidays, it can serve as a place where the family can enjoy
breakfast, and the kids can do their homework.

HOME DECORATING
Ideas for Decorating Boys' Rooms
As a mother of two young sons, I can
attest to the need for a well-decorated boys' room. Any boy's room
needs several things: safety, comfort, storage, and fun. Maybe you
have boys whose rooms are total disasters. Maybe you're wondering
how you can control the mess and give your boys a room they'll enjoy
being in. If so, here are some tips to help make the process as
simple as possible:
Cut the Clutter!
This is where you'll need to be firm. Help your boys evaluate every
last item in the room. Get four totes or large boxes and label them
as follows: Keep, store, donate, trash. Decide together which items
stay, and which should go. For those items that are to be stored,
get some stackable plastic totes that can be neatly placed in
closets and under beds.
Add Some Color
Bright, primary colors in small doses are always great in boys'
rooms. You could also incorporate shades of navy blue and hunter
green into your boys' room. Let your boys go shopping with you and
choose their own bedding. These days, there are sets of comforters
and sheets that come in every color and theme you can think of,
including favorite cartoon characters. Maybe your boy would like a
Spiderman comforter, or maybe something in a train theme is more for
him. If he's older, he may choose a solid color. It's important to
give your child some say in the matter.
