The crowds have departed after the celebration, and the street crews are working to clean up the confetti. Elsewhere people are waking up and getting ready for their day, some bright-eyed and alert, others still shaking off the effects of last night’s New Year’s Eve party.
It’s the first day of 2017! Are you ready for it?

Let's look at some ways you might be able to up your game:
For more than two centuries, members of our Armed Forces have defended our country with unyielding courage. In our Nation's times of need, these brave patriots step forward to answer America's call, leaving behind everything they know and love.

With the calendar’s annual lineup of holidays approaching, it's not unusual for a business owner to wonder: “should I send holiday cards this year?” While making the decision, it's natural to ponder the benefits of spending the time and money on such an activity.
Does it really make that much of a difference?
The short answer is yes. Businesses, both large and small, still send greeting cards to their customers for many reasons, but mainly because they've found that customers still appreciate the gesture. One of the newer trends is sending Thanksgiving cards, which means your greetings will arrive before the glut of Christmas and New Years cards sent by other businesses saturate customer’s mailboxes.
Have you given any thought to how your business will be celebrating Halloween this year? Will you limit it to throwing a few black paper cutouts of bats in the store window, or go all out by having a sale on everything orange? Why not try a fun-filled event, sure to have your customers clamoring to attend and, just as importantly in this digital age, posting comments and photos on social media!
Everyone loves to make something, as evidenced by the success of Paint Nite or Plant Nite, where people go to a venue, such as a restaurant, socialize with their friends and go home at the end of the night with their own newly created painting or terrarium. Your business can take advantage of these trends by holding your own Halloween craft night!
