January Check List
2014/01/14 11:48 AM
So the new year is under way……..and there are so many things to be doing right now…….. is your head spinning yet? I wanted to give you a quick check list to be sure you remember all the things you can be doing (and hopefully are already doing) to jump start your year and make this an AMAZING one!
I know doing all these things might seem overwhelming but if you take small steps each day to stay on task, you’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish. Try to set aside an hour a day, at least, to work on whatever you have left to do on my suggested check list below. These things will help your sales, exposure and overall brand. They are a MUST to keep up with todays fast moving world.

Kylie – You really need to be persistant…….. calling all the time, emailing…..staying on top of them. Send new stuff to show when possible. They like that.
Well, the twins will be here in 35 days, but I am happy to report that I am done with half of the list. Thank you so much for posting it and if everything goes well I will get the rest done as well. I am adding -starting designing and scheduling fall collection- to the list for myself since the forecasts are out.

Can you share what's working for your company today?
Any kind of PR is good PR...... especially when it takes 5 minutes and is free! I'm putting together a collaborative blog post and need your input! Since our normal way of doing business has changed, we have been forced to pivot to stay nimble during this unprecedented time in our lives.
Share all your awesome info here: sarahshawconsulting.com/how-are-you-making-money-today/ I'd love to hear new ways of doing business that you have discovered or invented during Covid shutdowns.
How are you getting online sales?
Are you still selling wholesale?
Are you drop shipping?
If you relied on pop-ups, what is your new normal?
Have you turned to advertising to drive traffic?
Are you seeking more PR?
And anything else that is working for you..... I want to know and learn from you too.
Please share ways that your company has pivoted during Covid-19 shutdowns and limitations and how you are making money today. Requirements:
Please share a short paragraph and give us your best tips!
Please add a headshot and some product shots as well if you'd like. Photos must be 300x300 px and 72 dpi or the system will reject them.
Share all your awesome info here: sarahshawconsulting.com/how-are-you-making-money-today/ I'll be sure to let you know when the post goes live later this week so that you can share it too.
