If you have not had the time to plan extensively for the holidays, here are 5 easy to implement ideas to help get you through the holidays and end the season with a bang. 1. Bundle related products and or services you sell for an attractive package deal and charge a higher price point for better margins. Customers will appreciate you making their life easier by creating a ready-to-give gift. 2. Create promotions.
