Small Business Saturday- Tips for Success

This Saturday is Small Business Saturday, so I'm taking this opportunity to help other entrepreneurs. What's the best advice I can give?   Use all the free marketing and advertising you can find especially online, such as Small Business Saturday. It's a great program and it's free. Be sure to get your website listed on google, Yahoo,  and other free listings. Just do a web search and you will find many places to list your website for free.  Be sure to use google+ and all the social media sites.  Kabbage has some great free guides to help understand the differences between all the social media sites out there.

Budget wisely. What I mean is if you don't have the funds to purchase something, wait and see if needed or you may find it's not essential at all. So that is money saved. A dollar saved is a dollar earned.

We are having a special online sale that we are promoting on our social media sites and e-mail blasts. Shop Ledfoots Pet Bakery this Saturday November 29th and save 15% on your online order of $35.00 or more. Use Coupon Code: Small

Chilly Days make Chilly Dogs

It gets chilly around here in the fall. Last winter was especially cold. I'm very happy that we got our dogs Chilly dog sweaters last year. It made a difference on those sub zero days, I felt a lot better letting them outside to do their business. You know it's cold out when they want to come right back in. We don't normally dress our dogs up but for the frigid temps, I felt it's a must and glad I did it. Miss Daisy wears her blue monkey sweater and Scooby has the Devil hoodie which both were very popular last year.

Chilly dog sweaters are handmade from wool, they keep up with the latest trends to keep dogs fashionable as well as warm.   Pictured above is the Black skull sweater. 

Do you dress your dogs in warm clothes for the cold weather?
