Productivity
| |
| I worked in a grocery store as a youngster. The Depression was on, inventories were limited and merchants frequently ran out of stock items. As a result, the merchants would borrow from each other until their next shipment came in. I was the "runner" for our store and Charlie Scott was the "runner" for the store across the street. |

What's Returns Have To Do With It?
| |
| On a subject I don't talk much about, I wanted to address a subject that does affect retailers, even with a good POS system. And that's about returns. We can't ignore statistics, and these are showing us some important trends in retail fraud. We're finding that fraudulent returns total $9.6 billion a year, according to figures from the National Retail Federation, and a Return Exchange's Retail Returns Study puts the figure at more than $17 billion annually.
Returns that come through an automated system like your POS can take the burden of granting returns out of the store's hands. The merchandise tag can be scanned at point of sale and, when a customer c |

"Fingering the Goods"
| |
| "Fingering the goods" was a 1950's merchant expression for "shopping in a store." Except for the Sears Roebuck catalog, store shopping was about the only means for acquiring merchandise. On-line shopping does not let you "finger the goods." In-store service can give you an experience that can take your breath away. |

What culture do you develop?
| |
| As a leader have you considered the culture you want in your organization? A culture of an organization is determined by the behaviors and perceptions of your people.
Consider, how your people treat your customers, how they treat each other, what their perception of your suppliers is, or more importantly, what do they think of the leaders and managers?
You have heard the phrase 'walk-the-talk', people are watching you and based on your behavior they develop perceptions and will act accordingly.
As an observer of an organization, it is very easy to identify the culture, one visit to a store, one interaction with the sales team, or customer service department will provide you with an indication of what is happening in that organization. |

Understanding Double Entry Accounting
| |
| Sir Isaac Newton's third Law of Motion, the law of reciprocal actions, states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The same can be said for accounting. For every financial transaction, there are two sides. There is a debit side and a credit side. For every transaction, these sides must be equal for your books to balance. |

The Uniform Franchise Offering Circular

| Just How Important is the UFOC?
I started playing golf about 10 years ago and over time have come to love the game. Although technique is a large part of what drives many golfers back to the greens, golf also has a very specific set of rules that define the game and create an equal playing field. The rules spell out how to play, how to keep score and how to determine a winner. |

Sample Non Disclosure Agreement
| |
| An intermediary should always sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement (NDA). It is a 1 to 5 page document that acknowledges you have sensitive information that if released could harm your business and it should not be shared. Venture capitalists, however, will not normally sign a confidentiality agreement. They see so many companies in the same industry that they cannot sign one agreement and risk not being able to invest in other potential good deals. |

Children's fitness tax credit
| |
| Federally, a non-refundable tax credit is available to parents who incur costs associated with registering their child in a prescribed program of physical activity. The child whom the parent claims this expense for must be under the age of 16 at the beginning of the year or if eligible for the disability credit, under the age of 18. A parent is allowed to claim up to $500 of expenses per year, per child. For 2009, the tax credit is equal to 15% of the expense claimed. For children eligible for the disability credit, an additional $500 in expenses can be claimed if the total expenses are at least $100. You should receive or ask for a receipt from the organization that provides the prescribed activity. |

Registered charities perform valuable work in our communities.
| |
| Donations in the form of cash or gifts in kind made to a registered charity or other qualified donees may reduce your taxes. A list of registered charities is provided on CRA's website. The receipt for your gift should include the value of the consideration given. If you receive something in return such as an event ticket, for example, you must deduct the value of this "advantage", as CRA calls it, from the eligible amount of your donation. The other important thing to keep in mind is that your donation receipt should include the registration number of the charity. Otherwise, it is not an official donation receipt for tax purposes. |
