FYI -

...... only 79 Days until Christmas!

What does that mean to you? I know you’re saying “I don’t want to hear about it!” Well, you may not want to “hear” about it...but people are NOW shopping for it....they start in September. Some people actually shop slowly all year taking advantage of sales. For the most part, people start in September, but don’t want to talk about it, and don’t want to “hear” about it nor see it in the stores until Halloween is over. In fact, it’s irritating to see Santa along side pumpkins! Nevertheless, people ARE shopping for Christmas now...so how are YOU going to garner your part of that market?

If you are a Retail Merchant, you’ve been gearing up for it all year long because that’s when you make over 60% of your sales and that income keeps you going until the next Holiday Season.

If you are an online merchant, you still have shopping seasons and trends.

People are going to shop for the holidays...that’s a fact. How can you make their holiday shopping more pleasant for them? The ease of shopping with you from home? Better prices? Unique gifts? Think about it. But don’t think too long. Everybody wants a piece of this pie! You can get your “piece” by being creative....so, there’s that word again!

Personally, my gift giving last year was a thrill for me. For the first year, in additional to the gifts I gave my immediate family members, I gave each one a donation in their honor to a charity that was dear to them. My son has always had compassion for the Homeless, so I sent a donation in his honor to the Denver Rescue Mission and he fed 35 homeless people Christmas dinner. (We lived in Denver for six years, and seeing the homeless people tortured him.) My granddaughters have always donated to the Feed the Children Fund, so that group received a donation in their names. My daughter supported me through Cancer, so the Cancer Center received a donation in her name to support cancer patients. My son-in-law’s gift donation was for tree planting and maintenance in the US forests, because he’s an avid outdoor sportsman. They still got personal gifts....but we all felt warmed by our gifts of giving and sharing with others.

The web is, well, all-encompassing....and you know that. So how can YOU use it - your websites - to impact the world this year? How can YOU make the Holiday Season a more relaxed, blessed, and peaceful time of year? Just think about it.

After Halloween, my website, http://4u2.homestead.com will change for Thanksgiving, and then for Christmas. You will be able to find links there as you browse around for the various Charities. 10% of profits from all my websites will be donated to charities.
