3 Great ways for a small business to get quick cash

If you are a small business owner that is worried about the economy this year, here are 3 great quick ways to bring in more cash.

First- Look at your business and ask yourself: How can I get my current customers to come in and buy right away to produce a quick infusion of cash into my business? Can you contact them by phone, mail or email and offer a "preferred clients only" sale for one day only and offer some really great deals for a 4-5 hour period, while they are there you can sell much more of your regularly priced merchandise as well as cross promote another business through coded gift certificates that you can share in the revenue when they shop at the other persons business.

Second- How about if you have customers that have access to things you need like advertising, printing, office supplies, etc that you can trade your merchandise for at full retail price and get the benefits of these things needed for the business without the cash expenditures.

Third- How about partnering up with several businesses and doing a co-op mailing to all the houses within 3 miles of the businesses with a special sales event and share the mailing costs among all the businesses. For this type of event, you can use free publicity such as have a remote radio station broadcast there and have events such as a car show, clowns for the kides, etc., whatever it takes to draw crowds of people to the stores to spend money.
