The Answer: More Turkey, Dressing, Football, Links and To Do List

The Question, what am I going to be doing over the Thanksgiving holidays?

1) Eating turkey and dressing leftovers
2) Watching great college rival football games on TV like: Miss State vs Ole Miss (Egg Bowl) and Auburn vs Alabama (Iron Bowl) and probably any other college games and of course on Thanksgiving day the parades.
3) Implementing some new linking strategies.
4) Implement holiday to do check list.

So what are you going to be doing this weekend and how is your e-commerce store doing?

Here is my checklist to get ready for the holiday season which is already in full swing for me.

Train temporary employees to answer the phone and pack and ship.
Contact my merchant account to increase my limit.
Email customers about my Black Friday online specials.
Order additional shipping supplies from the post office.
Get cut-off shipping dates and holiday schedules from my vendors and suppliers and dump them in a spreadsheet.
Ramp up my PPC campaigns.
Add some holiday graphics to my site.
Blog about my Black Friday specials.
Check inventory for overstocked and discontinued items and reduce the price.

Well, that's about it for the business side of it. Other than that, Thanksgiving day is reserved for family and giving thanks to God for allowing my business to grow, employ others and provide great products and services to my customers.

And although I have a long to do list, I am thankful to God for allowing me to have my own business and prosper. I give thanks to Him for allowing me to accomplish the tasks on my list and helping me to realize not to get so busy that I forget to praise His name.
