10 ways to reduce the stress of Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching and can be one of the most stressful times for any business. The secret to less stress during this holiday period is to be organised. Below you will find a list of things that all business owners need to consider to really enjoy the holiday.

  1. What will your opening times be over the Christmas and New Year period?
  2. Do you need to advertise your opening times anywhere (website, leaflets etc)?
  3. Customised Christmas cards or purchase from shop?
  4. Any gifts for valued clients / suppliers?
  5. Do you need to purchase any stationery for 2007 (diaries, calendars etc)?
  6. Any corporate branding promotional items (diaries, calendars etc)?
  7. Is your Christmas lunch / party organised?
  8. Is your contacts database up to date (to ensure all your cards go to right people / address)
  9. Have you got any work deadlines approaching during the run up to Christmas?
  10. Review work to complete for 2007 (Business Plan, Marketing Plan, recruitment)

Once you have answered these questions, you can proceed with drawing up an action plan to ensure that the necessary tasks are completed and on time.
