Managing cash flow is one of the toughest things for small businesses to do, so what’s the best way to make informed decisions about what- and when- to order for the holidays?

Optimized for eCommerce: If you can’t sell via your web site, you’re probably leaving money on the table. Forrester predicts that online shopping will increase by 67% in 2016. It’s no secret that many consumers will shop online this holiday season, and your business can benefit. Not only will your business be open 24/7, you’ll also be able to get customers from beyond your neighborhood- from around the world!

Keeping your transactional data safe: Transactional security is a big issue, because fraud is big business, and small businesses in particular at risk- 60% of small businesses don’t have security controls in place. Big companies like Home Depot and Target have the size and scale to recoup if necessary, but it can be a big headache for small businesses. A breach can be scary and expensive, and it can happen to anyone. How do you protect yourself?

The perfect gift: Did you know that over $100 Billion is spent on Gift Cards annually? That 93% of U.S. consumers purchase or receive a gift card annually?

Want to make it easy for your customers to shop for friends and family? If you don’t currently offer gift cards for your customers, you should consider it. Here are some things to consider.
