Summer Slump? Use Your Free Time to Get Ahead

Summer is notoriously slow for many aesthetic practices. instead of becoming distraught over the lower volume, use the slower times to get ahead of the fall and winter rush, says Jay A. Shorr BA, MBM-C, CAC I-XVI, founder and managing partner of Shorr Solutions in Coral Springs, Fla.

Start by checking expiration dates on medical supplies and over-the-counter retail products, he says. Donate the ones that are already expired to Third World countries.  “They can always use them as long as the supplies have not been opened,” Shorr says,

Run a special on near-expiring products, he adds.

Another idea?  

Schedule preventative maintenance for your capital equipment and utilities.  Summer is also a good time to paint the office or wax your floors, he says.
