January Isn’T A Time To Relax When Opening A Dollar Store

Most of those opening a dollar store recognize the ebbs and flows of dollar store sales throughout the year.  They know in a properly merchandised and managed store December will yield the highest dollar store sales of the year.  They also know January will likely be the lowest dollar store sales month of the year.  Yet even with lower sales levels, January is anything but a slow month.  There are many important activities to handle.  In this article I present some of the most important activities for you to complete in January.

· Closeout remaining excess dollar store merchandise

While efforts should have been underway to reduce inventory during the higher traffic months of October, November and December, there are likely some remaining excess items to liquidate.  January is the ideal time to do just that.  Not only will you reduce excess unwanted inventory, but offering liquidation pricing will bring many of your shoppers in for extra store visits.  With those visits will come added dollar store sales at a time when you can most use them.

· Annual Inventory

For many who are opening a dollar store January is also inventory month.  In fact, by preparing in late December, you will be ready for January 1 inventory with ease.  Make sure all of the tools and required personnel are in-place and prepared to start on-time.  Inventory taking is also a great time to double check for any ‘hidden’ dollar store merchandise requiring closeout pricing.

· Annual review of your dollar store business plan

January 1st should signal the need to take a few hours to review, update and revise your dollar store business plan.  Make sure you successfully completed all line items listed in your dollar store business plan for action the previous year.  Make adjustment to the plan for the upcoming year.  Don’t forget to add details about your long term actions into your dollar store business plan.

· Prepare for Valentine’s Day Sales

For many who are opening a dollar store Valentine’s Day adds a much-needed boost to February sales.  If you haven’t pre-ordered your dollar store merchandise for Valentine’s Day, don’t wait until February to order.  As merchandise arrives go to work and create your Valentine’s Day displays in January.  If there are some missing items to order, make that a priority once inventory-taking has been completed.

· Complete last minute Easter buying

For many dollar store owners Easter is one of the biggest holidays of the year.  If you haven’t already ordered all of the dollar store merchandise for Easter, there’s still time in January.  Be sure to order enough of the fastest selling items in your store.  Fill in if previously ordered items were not shipped.

· Set your dollar store trade show schedule for the upcoming year

While reviewing and updating your dollar store business plan be sure to review dollar store trade shows for the upcoming year.  Every dollar store owner should try to attend one or two dollar store trade shows annually.  Dollar store trade shows present a great opportunity to attend seminars, to meet other store owners, to visit dollar store suppliers and to see the dollar store merchandise they have to offer.

To your success when opening a dollar store!

The Dollar Crisis $26 In this updated, second edition of the highly acclaimed international best seller, The Dollar Crisis: Causes, Consequences, Cures , Richard Duncan describes the flaws in the international monetary system that have destabilized the global economy and that may soon culminate in a deflation-induced worldwide economic slump. The Dollar Crisis is divided into five parts: Part One describes how the US trade deficits, which now exceed US$1 million a minute, have destabilized the global economy by creating a worldwide credit bubble. Part Two explains why these giant deficits cannot persist and why a US recession and a collapse in the value of the Dollar are unavoidable. Part Three analyzes the extraordinarily harmful impact that the US recession and the collapse of the Dollar will have on the rest of the world. Part Four offers original recommendations that, if implemented, would help mitigate the damage of the coming worldwide downturn and put in place the foundations for balanced and sustainable economic growth in the decades ahead. Part Five , which has been newly added to the second edition, describes the extraordinary evolution of this crisis since the first edition was completed in September 2002. It also considers how the Dollar Crisis is likely to unfold over the years immediately ahead, the likely policy response to the crisis, and why that response cannot succeed. The Dollar Standard is inherently flawed and increasingly unstable. Its collapse will be the most important economic event of the 21st Century.

Namibian Dollar $71.7 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The dollar replaced the South African rand, which had been the countrys currency while it was under South African rule as SouthWest Africa 19201990. The rand is still legal tender, as the Namibian dollar is linked to the South African rand and can be exchanged on a onetoone basis locally. Namibia was also part of the Common Monetary Area from independence in 1990 until introduction of the dollar in 1993. In 1990, moves were under way to replace the rand with a new Namibian currency. The name kalahar was proposed, as the Kalahari Desert is located in eastern Namibia. The name of Namibias central bank was going to be known as the Namibia Reserve Bank. Denominations of this planned currency included 2, 5, 10, and 20 kalahar. (Note: There were two different designs for the 20 kalahar specimen notes.) However, these plans came to nothing, but some specimen notes were printed in a range of denominations. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

A Dollar Short $14.99 It isn't every day a movie star steals your husband. When that day comes for Chiffon Butrell, of Cayboo Creek, South Carolina, she looks to the Bottom Dollar Girls to help her out of one fine mess. As a waitress at the local Wagon Wheel restaurant, Chiffon pegs her fortunes to a winning entry in a local video store's Be-a-Movie-Star contest. But her celluloid dreams are dashed when her baby takes sick and her husband, Lonnie -- one fine specimen of Southern manhood -- heads for the Hollywood Hills solo. On set, he turns the head of leading lady Janie-Lynn Lauren, whose siren call is Oscar caliber. Back in Cayboo Creek, Chiffon manages to lose her temper and her job in quick succession -- only to discover that Lonnie's paycheck from the Nutra-Sweet plant has been forwarded to a California address. With three kids to feed, Chiffon comes up more than a dollar short. Her good friends try their best to pitch in. But there are too few hands to lend, what with Elizabeth and her husband, Timothy, expecting their first baby any day and the rest of the Bottom Dollar Girls knee-deep in their secret -- and possibly scandalous -- plan to raise money for the Cayboo Creek Senior Center. When a slick of Wesson Oil at the Winn-Dixie gets the better of Chiffon's ankle, there's just one thing to be done -- call on estranged older sister Chenille, who hails from Bible Grove, South Carolina. A prissy, fussy spinster prone to dressing her dog, Walter, in matching plaid "mother-son" outfits, Chenille is everything former beauty queen Chiffon detests. Suddenly the tabloid media gets wind of Janie-Lynn and Lonnie's torrid romance, landing sleepy Cayboo Creek on the star map. Under the glare of camera lights, the sisters must put aside their longtime grievances to forge a newfound relationship. As crisis reigns, Chenille is welcomed by the Bottom Dollar Girls for her cool head and quick thinking. And when Chenille runs into a little trouble of her own, she begins to see the future in friendship. A rollicking, hilarious novel about two sisters who are each one of a kind, A Dollar Short is a delicious page-turner worth every last cent.

On a Dollar a Day $14.99 What happens when two high school teachers get fed up with their soaring grocery bills and decide to try to feed themselves on one dollar each, per day? Authors Kerri Leonard and Christopher Greenslate describe how they did it--and also include sections about eating on a little more than $4 a day, as well as on the actual costs of eating a healthy diet. On a Dollar a Day also includes fascinating facts about the way our food gets to the table and the hidden costs--both personal and financial--along the way: How food companies "short size" packages so that you pay more for less food? Why one tablespoon of salad dressing costs as much as a whole orange? How grocery stores auction off foods past their "sell by" dates? Why processed foods have a higher markup than fresh foods? Why it takes so long for food prices to drop, even after fuel and shipping costs go down? How 36 million Americans have limited food options, even during a national obesity epidemic?

The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown $13.95 A New York Times bestseller on the financial crisis—now updated to address the current economic landscape

Two-Dollar Bill $20.56 Stone Barrington is bedeviled by a clever Texas con man in the 11th entry of the series starring the former cop/current lawyer. Billy Bob Barnstormer offers Stone $50,000 to represent him legally, although Billy Bob neglects to say for what.

And that's only the beginning of Billy Bob's campaign....

Dollar $6 Dollar - Steve Hofstetter

The Two Trillion Dollar Meltdown (Paperback) $20.47 How could Charles Morris come out with such a well-researched book about the 2008 financial crises so quickly? It`s because he predicted the credit and subprime mortgage crashes back in 2005, and has been preparing his book, THE TRILLION DOLLAR MELTDOWN, ever since. Morris not only tracks the roots of the crises--from the Keynesian theories of the 1960s through the "innovations" of the Alan Greenspan Federal Reserve era--with a meticulous awareness of financial history and patterns, but he also predicts a chain reaction of financial disaster and recession likely to descend in the years to come. Though Morris`s economic prognosis is grim, he provides a number of solutions that could help prevent the stagnation experience of Japan or, worse, the devastation of the 1930s.

Desegregating the Dollar $65 Capitalism and slavery stand as the two economic phenomena that have most clearly defined the United States. Yet, despite African Americans' nearly $500 billion annual spending power, surprisingly little attention has been devoted to the ways U.S. businesses have courted black dollars in post-slavery America. Robert E. Weems, Jr., presents the first fully integrated history of black consumerism over the course of the last century. The World War I era Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to northern and southern cities stimulated initial corporate interest in blacks as consumers. A generation later, as black urbanization intensified during World War II and its aftermath, the notion of a distinct, profitable African American consumer market gained greater currency. Moreover, black socioeconomic gains resulting from the Civil Rights movement which itself featured such consumer justice protests as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, further enhanced the status and influence of African American shoppers. Unwilling to settle for facile answers, Weems explores the role of black entrepreneurs who promoted the importance of the African American consumer market to U.S. corporations. Their actions, ironically, set the stage for the ongoing destruction of black-owned business. While the extent of educational, employment, and residential desegregation remains debatable, African American consumer dollars have, by any standard, been fully incorporated into the U.S. economy. Desegregating the Dollar takes us through the "blaxploitation" film industry, the vast market for black personal care products, and the insidious exploitation of black urban misery by liquor and cigarette advertisers. Robert E. Weems, Jr., has given us the definitive account of the complicated relationship between African Americans, capitalism, and consumerism.
