This is the time of year that people spend the most money. If we sit back and just take what happens to come our way, we won't be making up for all the slow months that the summer brought us. Now is the time to advertise, book regulations, sell pianos if possible,and even hire someone to help us if necessary. Try not to turn away work if possible. Each customer that gets turned away could have been a potential repeat customer in June, six months later, when business is slow. Have a happy and healthy holiday season.
