Hello All,
With summer winding down, our business seems to follow suit. People are taking those last vacation days and many are buying school supplies.In fact, if you run a print ad, consider pulling it for the month of August. You will not receive a return on your advertsing dollar at the end of summer.And speaking of vacations I am actually taking one this year!However, I was reading some very interesting facts about American Entrepreneurs- and it seems as if very few of us take the much needed time off.
The World Tourism Organization reports the average annual vacation days taken as:
Italy - 42 (can you believe it?)
France - 37
Britain - 28
Canada - 26
Japan - 25
U.S. - 13
Hhmmmmm.....I think there is something wrong with this picture!
I don't want to delete any of our posts but am trying to archive them. This is just way over my head.
Please, if anybody can help do this - jump in!
Warmest Regards,Victoria

I am new to blogging myself but have picked up valuable information from other blogs. I think this will definitely be a great resource.

Hi All,
Here are a few tips that I was reading about this morning- the article is in regards to reaching your customers through your "local" web site:
1. Add your biz name to each web page
2. Add your logo or home link on each page
3. Submit on a Local Search Engine
(Google Local, Windows Live Search and Yahoo Local)
Have a great day!
Victoria
Vicki, This is so exciting. Thanks so much for all you are doing. This is going to be fun.
It looks like this blog has a few newbies therefore I now feel comfortable entering a blurb. Yes, this is my first blog. Does this make me a blogger!?
Hi to all! My name is Nancy and although Vicki and I go back a few years, I am a newcomer to NRI. I will be teaching Decorating and Color classes under her wonderful establishment.
We have many new and wonderful ideas that we will be developing in the near future. So stay tuned!
I will be checking in every now and then and looking forward to blogging with all of you!

Hello NRI Members,
Having just returned from vacation I am trying to settle down and apply myself to business.
This morning I wanted to share a link that will allow you to sign up for a FREE Small Business Success Course. It is sponsered by About.com, a fantastic site that has a wealth of info on business tips and decorating ideas. As it is Canadian based, however, I do not recommend using any of their tax tips! :)
I encourage you all to take advantage of this - it will be a great way to rejuvenate ourselves and our businesses.
