its not working and I can't figure out why
I have this Wirelss Kit installed in an Intuos CTH-480 (pen&touch). On a PC with Windows XP it was working nicely, but on our new IMac, no, it can't establish the wireless connection. I have installed the newest drivers, the battery is fine, there is no concrete or iron in between receivers, apart from the aluminium foot of the imac & when I have the USB cable on the tablet is allright. Astonishingly, I read that more users have problems but Wacom does not comment or contribute to a solution.
OSX Mountain Lion
Has anyone had any luck with the kit using the intuos5 M and Mountain Lion on the mac?
Need to know as I've bought the kit for a Christmas present :-/
Hey wacom, is this still an issue?
I've been using the Bamboo for 3 days now and love it. I'd like to get the wireless connector but won't based on the current 2 comments.

The American market may be quick to catch onto some things, but the adoption of QR codes has not been one of them. The two-dimensional bar codes, that point to a destination online when captured with a smartphone, have taken off in some markets (they're huge in Japan!) but have not been met with widespread adoption stateside.
This week, Google announced a broad plan to introduce QR code stickers in the windows of over 100,000 local businesses nationwide. Could this be the tipping point that imbeds the QR code in the American conscience? Well, that will depend on a few things.
For starters, Google will have to get consumers to actually interact with the things on a widespread basis. The search giant is already trying to incite retailer interest by caling its program Favorite Places. The curated tone will likely encourage retailers to sign up for a spot on the list. Now if consumers start taking the bait, it could work. And Google might just end up cornering another digital marketplace.
These two-dimensional bar codes have been trialed in all sorts of advertising campaigns, from print to stickers on all sorts of surfaces. Many brands — from Louis Vuitton's use of Murakami to Esquire's recent Sherlock Holmes tie in — have helped close the loop between the offline and online worlds.
But as of yet, QR codes have not become a common occurence for American consumers. Google is hoping to change that with Favorite Places.
A few weeks ago the search giant added a mobile couponing option to its Google Local Business Center listing, meaning that mobile search results now often include mobile coupons redeemable at local retailers. This week Google launched "Favorite Places on Google," which includes venues in over 9,000 towns and cities across the country that will have a Google created (and QR enabled) sticker in their windows.
Restaurants and other retailers have long been in the habit of putting quality stickers in their windows (reviews, Zagat ratings, positive newspaper and magazine features), but this effort would result in more real time information. It could also lead to more informed — and happier consumers.
Google isn't the first to do this, they just might be the ones to get it off the ground. According to AdAge:
Citysearch pilot-tested a similar program in San Francisco back in March of 2008. In that trial, 500 businesses reviewed by Citysearch placed printed Scanbuy's brand of bar codes in their windows. Scanning the photo with Scanbuy's software would send you to the business' corresponding Citysearch page where you can read reviews and other information.
Around the same time, QVC and Case Western University did some trials in which students could scan QR codes on outdoor print signage. These codes let users get campus bus arrival times, order magazines, enter sweepstakes and get text alerts from USA Today, among other applications.
Beyond being a bigger player than Citysearch or QVC, Google has enabled their coupons to be read by any QR code reader, which is a big step toward wider adoption. (A brand specific reader is one of the things that has hobbled Microsoft's entry into the arena, Tag.)
But Google making a play in the space is no guarantee that it will take off. The search giant has made previous efforts with these square codes. Placing QRs in newspaper ads drove 6.5 times more revenue than the ads without embedded codes, but they still failed to deliver expected results, and Google killed the campaign this January.
While QR code adoption has been slow to take off in the U.S., some of the obstacles have been eliminated recently. Last year, when Case Western's trial seemed to implode, search advisor Andrew Miller said QR codes weren't just around the corner for U.S. markets because "adoption rates will be slowed by the expense and low penetration of broadband-enabled phones with data plans."
Now that consumers are quickly gobbling up smartphone models, it's easier to find phones that can translate the codes. But the method of delivery is still unproven. Zagat's established itself as a player in the restaurant business over a long period of time. Google does not have the same clout when it comes to restaurant reviews. And while smartphone users may be excited to scan a QR code on a window of an establishment that they've walked up to, that smartphone is the same reason that they can just as easily find out the information they want before they get there.

The Tampa Bay Lightning have locked up winger B.J. Crombeen for the next two years.
Crombeen agreed to a two-year extension with the Bolts on Monday worth an average annual value of $1.15 million.
"We are pleased to have B.J. with the Lightning organization for another two years," general manager Steve Yzerman said. "He has proven to be a hard-nosed right winger and reliable penalty killer, as well as a very popular teammate of outstanding character."
The 27-year-old Denver-native has one goal and six assists, while registering 86 penalty minutes in 30 games with the Lightning this season.
Originally selected in the second round (54th overall) of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars, Crombeen has scored 28 goals and 35 assists in 318 career games between the Lightning, Stars and St. Louis Blues.
Crombeen is currently in the final year of a two-year, $2 million deal he signed prior to the 2011-12 season.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Refined and subtle, this diamond eternity ring in white gold showcases a full circle of pavé diamonds for intense sparkle, perfect as a wedding or anniversary ring.
I was skeptical buying a ring over the internet but this ring delivered. It has a lot of fire and really lights up. The first person to see the ring (a cashier at a local store) commented on how beautiful it was. I recommend this ring for finger sizes 6 or below.
STEVE, PASADENA, CA – October 2013
This ring is absolutely gorgeous. It's the perfect width and amount of bling to go with my solitaire engagement ring. It is truly a sparkler. I can't wait for my wedding day when I can finally show it off!
Anonymous, Chalfont, PA – October 2013
The weight of the ring was a little thin

Blue Nile realizes that you may not know the ring size for a given finger, and we want to help. We provide a printable ring sizer that can help determine your ring size. Prior to printing, ensure that page scaling is set to "none" on your print dialog box.

Goffstown, Hooksett discuss school deal
Acting Superintendent Brian Balke and Hooksett Superintendent Charles Littlefield met Tuesday to discuss accepting all or some of Hooksett students.
"Their ability to take Hooksett students depended on the outcome of Dunbarton's vote," Korkosz said.
The Hooksett School Board recently authorized Littlefield to enter into contract negotiations with Pinkerton Academy in Derry to send most of the district's students there beginning next September.
"I'm not sure if we will be entering into an agreement with a single district," he said. "We're looking at the possibility of an anchor school, which is Pinkerton, and a satellite school with other districts. It's a plan in progress, and no decisions have been made but I anticipate we will make a decision shortly."
"Pinkerton can take all our students, but it is quite a distance for some Hooksett students," Littlefield said.
Hooksett high schoolers have been attending Manchester schools. But last year, Hooksett sent notice to Manchester alleging the city was in breach due to staff cutbacks, crowded classrooms and limited course offerings. The Manchester School District filed suit against Hooksett to enjoin its students from leaving.

Once a port for isolated coastal logging operations, and the last stop in civilization for those heading north, Lund lies on a secluded harbour backed by the magnificent peaks of the Coast Mountains.
Today Lund is a major stopover for tourists and vacationers, with approximately 800 year-round residents. This number increases substantially during the summer months when vacationers use Lund as a staging point for trips to Savary island, Desolation Sound and points further north up the rugged BC coast.
One of the world's longest highways, the Pacific Coastal Highway (also named Highway 101 in parts of the United States and Canada), stretches 15,020 kms, all the way from Chile's south coast to end in the tiny hamlet of Lund on BC's Sunshine Coast.Location: Lund is located on Highway 101, 16 miles (26 km) north of Powell River on the Sunshine Coast of BC, and is reached by scheduled air and bus services between Powell River and Vancouver, and by ferry from the Little River ferry terminal in Comox on Vancouver Island to Powell River. Lund can also be reached from Vancouver in the south (5-1/2 hours, 104 miles/166 km) by catching a ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Langdale, driving from Langdale to Earls Cove on Highway 101, and catching another ferry from Earls Cove to Saltery Bay. Lund is 34 miles (54 km) northwest of Saltery Bay on Highway 101.
View Map of the Sunshine Coast.
To reach the Copeland Islands Marine Provincial Park, head north from Lund, hugging the steep-sided coastline. Marine traffic in Thulin Passage can kick up a sizable chop; thus, it's best to set out as early in the day as possible before many large pleasure craft begin to ply these waters. Pick your opening and paddle hard to cover the 0.6 mile (1 km) between the peninsula and the most southerly island in this chain. Once in the vicinity of the Copelands, you'll find sheltered paddling that you'll have to share only with the numerous seals that haul up on little islets when not fishing for their next meal. Shellfish are particularly abundant. Although the seven major islands in the Copelands are quite rugged, with limited level terrain, a handful of campsites are tucked away on the sheltered north side of the third from the top of the chain. There are no facilities here, no freshwater, and campfires are prohibited. Pack out everything except your oyster shells, though you'll probably want to keep one as a memento.

Dickiebyrd's right... 'Chinaphobia' is still rampant, almost seems like a form of prejudice or discrimination. It probably is. Years ago, it was 'Made in Japan = crap', today it's China. China making some very high-quality instruments these days, something a lot of guitar players would notice if they got their heads unstuck from their nether regions. We're in a global economy now, people. We've got to start thinking that way. I own several USA-made instruments, several Japanese-made ones and some Chinese-made ones as well and they're ALL good. Interesting to note that all those excellent quality Japanese electrics that were labeled as garbage many years ago are now praised by the same people as 'high-quality' instruments. I wonder how those guitars managed to 'improve' in quality over all that time? Anyway, a lot of USA-made instruments use overseas parts and even tonewoods, some of it from China. Some American-made parts even use raw materials from - you guessed it - China, and other countries, too.

Surreal Classic Modern 100 $2,000 As my original model (CM 50) Classic Modern 50 evolved and started getting some attention and after a few were sold, I started a few 100 watt chassis. The 100 watter started off exactly like my original model, but as I tried new things, I realized I could get more versatility overall by using the plate driven tone stack approach. The original 50's being cathode driven 3 gain stage primarily with one extra gain stage for the lead boost. The 100 watters follow a different power section scheme as well. Years of experiments have finally paid off with a power amp that has the perfect blend of both worlds; sag and aggressiveness. The new circuit has more gain and a slightly different, more open feel. The Classic Modern will be one that leans towards Modern. In a nut shell, the Classic Modern 100 is a big, aggressive sounding amp but still very musical. Not jumping over into that industrial sound. The tone is classic rock but tons more gain. All the clarity is there and then some. The term "glassy" becomes perfectly understood when you crank this amp up. This is a very addictive, very fluid and articulate lead guitar tone. I include a killer clean channel that stands on its own. The controls for the clean are on the back. It's a classic rock preamp that distorts just like your favorite non master volume amp. Plexi spec 1959. The crunch channel starts out with a minimum preamp gain that's already into ACDC territory. There are several gain and voicing mods on the front and back of the amp to customize it to your needs. The standard controls are there along with a control I've labeled "Slope". This lets you control the resistor value going into the tone network. The effect is a thickening or thinning sound. It's a great feature to have right there in a pinch. With the gain at 1 o'clock the Classic Modern easily enters the realm of Sykes and Aldrich. The Lead Master Volume. This solo boost feature can also be tied into whichever g

Visit our website (www.voodooamps.com) and you will see all of our products are 100% made in the USA! NOT CHINA - We do not manufacture in China in any way, shape or form & I honestly have no idea where some one would get that from? We go to great lengths to offer a very high quality, hand built & hand wired amplifier that made in the USA. It is with a great sense of pride that manufacture exclusively in the USA so I apologize for the spelling errors in my previous post but the very last thing I want people to believe that we manufacture in China.

JC & Woody - We do **NOT** manufacture in China, never have & never will. Our facility is located in Lansing, New York where each & and every amplifier is hand wires/built from the ground up (no PCB's in the Texas Heat). IE: we use Custom Mercury Magnetics transformers, The Texas Heat used an Eminence speaker, 100% NY labor, etc. Not sure where you got the idea we manufactured in China but this is 100% false -- Trace Davis, Founder/President of Voodoo Amps (www.voodooamps.com)

You guys need to get over your Chinophobia - It's reality and the build quality still rests with the builder... the majority of the hand made amps are chock-full of Asian parts; Xicon, Illinois, and Mallory caps, Alpha pots, virtually all terminal strips, tube sockets, jacks, and plugs and wire; Accutronics reverb tanks moved to Korea well over a year ago, and all but a handful of Celestions have been coming from China for years... I for one draw the line at PCBs... but to me 'boutique' usually means the guy who's name is on the front builds it from start to finish with his bare hands, and then stands behind it. Smart, efficient parts sourcing is just part of good business or staying in business...

If you're talking about the Carp, he hand builds them in Norco CA using American parts, except our British speakers (I work for Celestion). He even punches the boards out by hand. No kits or shortcuts.

Thanks. I guess there are some caul fat haters on this board. I like the Buford Highway Farmers Market - I will give a shot. The Gorgeous One just can't eat too much - I have to keep it twisted steel and sex appeal.
not only is this a well written article, it makes me want to go out and buy pork, something I have never ever in my life cooked.
"[It is] very inexpensive; we sell it at the shop. You can get it at Buford Highway Farmers Market, you can get it at the Sweet Auburn Market."
Where can you buy caul fat?
This looks amazing. However, I see a bell pepper on the counter, and bell pepper is mentioned in the article. But it's not on the receipt, nor in the recipe. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE I DEMAND ANSWERS.
homemade arepas, yes - totally worth it.
homemade torillas? not so much.
I thought you had a Latina girlfriend? A store bought tortilla is not even in the same stratosphere as a home made one. They are a pain in the ass to make though.
i've never understood why anyone would want to make their own tortillas.
it seems like a lot of time and work to make something at home that is readily available in every grocery store for what seems like a low price. is the savings that significant?
You can also learn how to make your own tortillas, as a bag of flour goes a longer way than a package of tortillas. You can grow stuff like mint and vegetables. A big tub of yogurt is cheaper than sour cream...I think this meal is very affordable if you approach it that way. Our household has two working parents and this is how we maintain a savings account. We've developed a system that works with our busy schedules and though it is more work, it's better for everyone to eat this way.
@celle, I meant it figuratively. "Not have to eat rice and beans" as in "to seek a better life." Rice and beans is considered economical food that is all some people can afford. I was not making a broad comment on Mexican cuisine. As for the merits of rice and beans, no need for the lecture, as I have enjoyed plenty, having traveled the length and breadth of Mexico and further south still. Tranquilo.
"And didn't poor Mexican families come to the US so they would NOT have to eat rice and beans?"
You really think people immigrated somewhere because they were sick of their cuisine? Wow. If you're really curious why people have left their homes and families to move to the U.S., maybe you ought to read up on this thing called NAFTA: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/02/18/weekinre…
"Eat like a poor Mexican (but be sure to use baby lettuces) and you could be a chef."
Maybe you just don't realize this, but you're making some very problematic assumptions about race and class. Your sarcasm implies that somehow Mexican chefs are not as legitimate or respected as chefs of other cuisines. That rice and beans are mere poverty food. Let me shine some light: Rice and beans are indeed very affordable and accessible to poor people, but they also happen to serve as nutritious and delicious components of many Latin cuisines, which is eaten by people from all classes (whether in Mexico or the U.S.).
Let's also acknowledge that food is a part of culture, and just because people relocate to the U.S. doesn't mean they automatically want to assimilate and forget the place they come from or the recipes that were passed down from their grandmother.
He says he doesn't know what Southern food is, but judging from these recipes I'd say it is vaguely Mexican.
And didn't poor Mexican families come to the US so they would NOT have to eat rice and beans? Eat like a poor Mexican (but be sure to use baby lettuces) and you could be a chef.
easily $15 for maple syrup.
i wondered about that too. kiteless, i don't know where you're shopping for groceries, but i think you're getting ripped off.
"...it assumes that you have expensive culinary delights just tucked into your magical pantry, such as olive oil ($5 at trader joes, $7 at walmart), maple syrup (easily $15), fresh mint ($3) and red wine vinegar ($3)."
I'll concede that fresh mint isn't generally something kept on hand, but everything else you mentioned is found in every respectable kitchen or pantry. There's nothing magical or exotic about red wine vinegar, and you don't need to spend $15 on maple syrup.
Weren't you grousing about places that serve cheese on reubens a while back? And now you're characterizing OLIVE OIL as the food-lube of the plutocracy? How?
Instead of viewing the article as an opportunity to whine about wage disparities or your ignorance about basic, pervasive cooking ingredients, maybe you should read it for what it is: a goddamned recipe. For eating.
"i read articles about the proclaimed best restaurants in atlanta every week in CL, and then i feel ashamed because almost all of them are out of my price range"
you feel ASHAMED because CL reviews restaurants that are out of your price range? why is that?
You have clearly never been to the mercados of metro Atlanta. This meal was maybe $10. The other $10 will pay for dashes of spices and oil.
A large tub of cumin that lasts me a year is only a couple dollars if you get the Hispanic brand. Fresh produce is very cheap at a mercado or Asian market. Mango was $2 tops. 2 chicken leg quarters is maybe $3, probably closer to $2.
These markets don't have organic this and that, but 10 limes/dollar and 3 bunches of cilantro/dollar goes a long way.
this article exemplifies how out of touch those with money are with those who struggle to feed their families. first of all, this meal isn't $20. no one is going to be able to buy a tortilla for 35¢ or ground cumin for 60¢. these prices are pulled straight out of someone's ass. have you been to the grocery store lately? second of all, even if you use the article's prices, the meal still doesn't add up to $20. it assumes that you have expensive culinary delights just tucked into your magical pantry, such as olive oil ($5 at trader joes, $7 at walmart), maple syrup (easily $15), fresh mint ($3) and red wine vinegar ($3).
lastly, this could feed *maybe* two people. someone on a budget with three kids is easily going to spend $100 on this meal.
i appreciate the attempt, and the meal certainly looks delicious.
but let's be honest here, this isn't an affordable meal by any means. and i don't blame chef acheson in particular, even though it does cost a cool $300 for a dinner for two at empire state south. this has become common across the country. i read articles about the proclaimed best restaurants in atlanta every week in CL, and then i feel ashamed because almost all of them are out of my price range.
whenever i hear the culinary elite complain about how poor americans eat and then offer unaffordable solutions like this, it just provides more proof about how large the divide in economic classes has become.
Why does Acheson have this "I just got finished pumping the neighbor's collie" look on his face?
Odd picture, if you ask me.
Here's a recipe for your broke ass.
Take 4 packs of ramen noodles.
Add flavor packets and serve.

good solid jump rope
July 1, 2011
Reviewer: Ethan Kinser
I bought two ropes at the same time. I use them both. The other one is the classic leather boxers jump rope. The beaded rope is nice. It's has a little bit of heft to it and spins nicely. It works your arms a little bit and does not easily snag and stop if you brush a shoe with it. I use the leather rope for a faster spin, but it stops if it gets anywhere near a shoe. The beaded rope is probably my favorite though. It looks good and it feels good when I'm using it. If you're looking for a solid rope with a little substance to it, this is a good one.

Top Quality
June 9, 2011
Reviewer: Daniel Root
This is an excellent jump rope. The beads are shaped a little differently and provide very uniform weight distribution. For a beaded rope, you can go really fast. Another nice feature is that the nylon string is stretchy, which makes it easier to adjust than a non-stretch string. You can achieve just the right length which provides the best weight distribution.

comfortable and easy to use
May 31, 2011
Reviewer: Tyler Sadalko
If you are a beginner, buy this rope. It's not too common to find beaded jump ropes at gym so if you are going to buy one jump rope, buy this one.

good for the noobie
May 28, 2011
Reviewer: Kay Kauffman
This jump rope won't tangle, is a little heavy, and makes a crisp sound when it hits the floor. Basically, this is perfect for new people who jump rope because you can definitely get the rythme down. Plus, the beads protect the rope from being torn apart by rough surfaces. (i.e. concrete) Don't expect to be doing any fast roping or tricks though.

Beaded Jump Rope
May 27, 2011
Reviewer: Dakota Clark
I am happy with my purchase of this beaded jump rope. It is heavy enough to do cross-overs and it never gets twisted. It is made well. I know it will hold up for a long time.

Good rope
May 24, 2011
Reviewer: Jared Dana
I've had it for few weeks now, use it about twice a week, outside on my paved patio and it's holding up just fine. The weight seems to be good, especially since I use it outside. It's fine for inside work as well. You can easily adjust the length by removing beets from one side. The speed appears good to me, even though I'm a novice when it comes to jump rope workout, so I can't tell how it really compares to others. I think if it holds up by me banging it against the pavement for few months at least, then I'll have no problem ordering another one in the future.

Broke after a month
May 2, 2011
Reviewer: Vince Dembowski
It's a nice jump rope but it already broke after a month! Beads flew everywhere! The rope broke along the handles and I only used it for maybe 5 minutes a day.

Got to me fast and works great
March 24, 2011
Reviewer: John Dailey
I got my rope within a 4 days! I started using it and I get a great cardio workout. I've been using this in my backyard on the patio and it holds up well. I'm 6'2" so the length is perfect. However, if you are any taller I would look to getting a longer rope.

Works Great
March 1, 2011
Reviewer: Cassidy Wapelhorst
Bought this as a gift for my 6 ft. husband and he likes it. He says it takes a bit of time to get used to the weight of the product but it's reminiscent of the old "gym-quality" jump ropes. The quality is exceptional, too.

great jump rope
February 4, 2011
Reviewer: Alison Wegner
This was the fourth jump rope that I'd bought in a year and I believe it will be the last. This jump rope is very sturdy and doesn't easily tangle. The weight in the rope is evenly distributed to give you a good rotation. My workout is more enjoyable now that I have a good jump rope!

, Create alert for British embassyBritish embassy
A British embassy residential compound in the Iranian capital of Tehran has been fired at in the third such shooting incident outside a British diplomatic facility this month, an embassy spokesman said on Monday.
Andrew Greenstock said two shots were fired at the main gate of the north Tehran compound at 6:10 pm (local time) Sunday, adding that nobody was injured in the shooting, according to AFP.
He said witnesses questioned after the shooting had seen two men on a motorbike fire the shots. The walled compound hit was one of the embassy's main residential facilities where a large proportion of embassy staff are housed. (Albawaba.com)

text: It's enough to ruin a nice dinner, a night out, or, God forbid, a Ravens game—yes, we're talking about parking problems. But two local techies, Nick Miller and Adam Zilberbaum, have solved the problem with a new website, Parking Panda, which allows residents to rent out their driveways and parking pads. "The idea came from experiencing both sides of the problem," Miller says. "I went to Georgetown and had a driveway that I never used. Then I would come home for Ravens games and never have a place to park. I thought there had to be a way to connect the dots." So he took his idea to Baltimore Startup Weekend, where he met Zilberbaum, and they came up with a prototype in the next two days. (The whole panda concept came from the idea of wanting a fun mascot.) The website—and its mobile component—are pretty self-explanatory: If you're looking for parking, type in your location (or allow your smartphone to detect it with GPS) and a list of spots, prices, and pictures will come up. "The average price during a Ravens game is $15-20," says Zilberbaum, "which is at least half the price of the lot." The cofounders also want Parking Panda to be used for more everyday parking, and they are planning to expand to D.C. and Philadelphia. "Our whole motto is 'Park happy,'" Miller says. "We want to make the experience as easy as possible."

Advice for small businesses on how to prepare for the holiday season by generating customer loyalty, implementing timely marketing, and determining inventory size.
Advice for small businesses on how to prepare for the holiday season by generating customer loyalty, implementing timely marketing, and determining inventory size.
Many small and mid-sized retailers will do as much as 20-40 percent of their annual sales in the final two months of the calendar year, according to the National Retail Federation (NRF), the nation's largest retail trade association. Other service businesses, such as restaurateurs, caterers, travel agents, etc., are also dependent on doing brisk business each holiday season. It's fair to say that, for many small businesses, the holiday season is a crucial make-or-break period during which they earn the profits that they must live off of for the slow first months of the next year.
"It's an absolutely critical period for maximizing sales and profits, and for squirreling away the necessary cash to carry the business until the spring selling season blooms anew," says Ted Hurlbut, a retail consultant and principal of Hurlbut & Associates. "September, October, and November are critical months for small retailers. Good planning then leads to the kind of December that will set them up to go into the New Year in a strong position."
That's why an economic recession, stormy weather, or fewer shopping days during the holidays can have a lasting impact on a small business. Retail sales in the U.S. dropped 2.8 percent during the 2008 holiday season, according to NRF -- the first recorded decline in sales since the group started collecting holiday sales statistics in 1995. Among small businesses, 29 percent reported lower sales than those reporting higher sales during the 2008 holiday period, according to the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), which conducts regular surveys on small business outlook.
The following pages will detail how to distinguish your small business during the holiday season, how to develop a sales plan for the holidays, and how to use marketing strategies -- including online -- to boost holiday sales.
Laying the Groundwork for Holiday Sales
Get started by generating customer loyalty. One of the biggest mistakes small businesses make is waiting too long to develop a holiday sales strategy. The planning doesn't start in November. That's too late. An NRF survey of holiday shoppers in 2008 found that 40 percent had started their holiday shopping before Halloween. So your planning for holiday sales should start much sooner than that if you want to be a contender. Start thinking about the next holiday season in January and make it a year-long effort to win the loyalty of customers so that they frequent your business year-round. Holiday sales, during which customers tend to spend more, will be a natural extension of this plan.
"That train is pulling out of the station earlier and earlier each year," says John Jantsch, marketing coach and author of the book and blog Duct Tape Marketing (2008 Thomas Nelson). "Some businesses have lived for so long with this cyclical view: I don't have to do things right all year long because the holidays will bail us out." But as the recession in 2008 and the ensuing drop in holiday sales showed everyone, Jantsch says, that may no longer be the case for many businesses.
The preparation for a successful holiday season is a year-long affair. "If price is driving any of the equation in any shape or form, they're going to lose," Jantsch says. "There are some very large chains giving away the store. The Abercrombie and Fitch and Gaps of the world are fighting for their survival. You have to find a way to be different that in many ways is not related to product you're offering."
One of the advantages small businesses have -- in particular, retailers -- is that they have a presence in the community that can be used to their advantage. Here are ways to use this attribute to distinguish your business during the holidays:
Developing a Holiday Sales Plan
Choose your merchandise assortment wisely. When it comes to actually pinpointing what merchandise to stock and how to market these products during the holidays, the best strategy is to narrow and focus merchandise assortments, so that by the end of the selling season, the weight of the remaining inventory is on the proven best sellers, Hurlbut says. "Even retailers whose focus the rest of the year is on offering their customers a complete shopping experience must recognize that at this time of the year, the business must become item driven," he says.
The goal is to stock the products that your customer wants. During the holidays, shoppers' objectives evolve from considering a wide range of potential gift items to pinpointing particular products that they know "can't miss." In the last few days of the season, they are likely looking for one or two items they know will be just right for their friends or loved ones. Stocking merchandise assortments that meet customer expectations will ensure that sales and profits are maximized -- and markdowns are minimized.

Take steps while the holiday season is underway. Once you have developed a detailed holiday sales plan, you can't just sit back and rest on your laurels. A small business needs to remain nimble and able to respond quickly to market events and surges or drops in demand. The following are steps you can take to stay on your toes during the holiday sales season:
Timely marketing to drive holiday sales
Small businesses can be at a disadvantage when it comes to holiday advertising. The big chains take out full-page ads, or spring for inserts, in newspapers around the country. They buy TV spots during prime time. And they blanket the radio markets, too. Those advertising markets are also open to small and mid-sized businesses, although they may be too pricey. But the Internet has provided a host of new ways to reach customers for low or no cost. In fairness, the best marketing medium for your business depends who you are targeting. NRF found that 78 percent of adults over 55 read a daily newspaper, but 48 percent of young adults aged 18-34 use instant messaging at least once a week.
Here are some online marketing strategies too consider when trying to boost sales during the holidays:
