Back to school time can be stressful for parents and students alike. The approach of autumn means students need to get back into that education mindset, and there's no time like the present to get started on the new school year. (Psst… there’s a parallel here for us as business owners so don’t be too quick to dismiss this, whether or not you have kids!)
Take a field trip. Ever have that dream where you’re late for that big test because you can't find your classroom? To make sure that dream never becomes a reality, visit your school at the first opportunity to get the layout of the land. If possible, meet the teacher and get an idea of what his or her expectations are for the new class.

“Summer was our best season: it was sleeping on the back screened porch in cots, or trying to sleep in the treehouse; summer was everything good to eat; it was a thousand colors in a parched landscape; but most of all, summer was Dill.”
― Harper Lee
Summer is that time of endless possibilities—three whole months when adventures of any sort could happen. Even better, summer is when so many great memories are made, and luckily those memories don't have to be expensive!

Using Twitter for your small business allows you to keep up with your customers in real time, whether it's providing immediate customer service, researching the newest trends, gathering leads, or checking out your competitors. Keeping up-to-date on where Twitter is going can help you plan your marketing strategies, delivering value and providing your customers with the freshest ideas.
While the company has been making a profit, Twitter's stock has been steadily falling over the past year. Since Twitter isn't going anywhere, this means we will be seeing some changes soon. One change, for example, will be not including links and photos in the 140-character limit for tweets in an effort to engage more activity on Twitter.
