Prepping for the Holiday Slowdown - for Interior Designers

All businesses go through ups and downs. Some are tied to our own personal lives, some based on the economy or outside things, and some are tied to annual seasons like holiday and summer seasons.

The thing with the ups and downs is to know they are coming so you can plan ahead which helps your lows not be so low revenue-wise.

Lulls in business are usually seen as something being wrong in your business, but that is not the case at all. We actually need the waves of quiet to be able to recharge, rest and spend time with our friends and loved ones.

Here are some things you can do TODAY in your interior design firm to not only get ahead of the holiday slowdown, which happens for many of us, but make the most of it, too!
