I just used my credit card to pay for my order. Will it be charged right away?
No, it's not a charge but an authorization for your order amount. Just give us two business days from the day you submit your order to process it and calculate the final shipping cost, then a Four Seasons representative will contact you either through email or phone to get an approval from you on your final shipping quote. Once everything is approved, we will ship out your merchandise and charge your card. If for some reason you're not satisfied with the shipping charges, our shipping department will try to get you a better quote or cancel your order without any extra fees.

Strategies for Small Business Owners Who Want To Overcome Slow Periods
In this period of economic downturn its becoming more difficult to get consumers to spend money but the good news is that there is always a solution to a problem. Business owners should always keep an open mind when it comes to their customers, especially on how to retain their business but also on ways to attract more. Below are some helpful tips on how to keep loyal customers and newcomers coming back for more.
- Always be on the lookout for new clients and offer supreme customer service. Keep your mind open and don't narrow your business down to a specific group. Theres always a market that is being ignored. Also, your existing customers already have a rapport with you; maintain that relationship and keep that customer faithful. Offer loyalty cards, discounts and coupons. Even a warm "welcome back" can bring you positive results.
- Increase your budget marketing and get more exposure. Try to find the method that is the most cost-effective for your business. Set up an email or mailing list to inform customers about upcoming deals or send postcards, flyers and brochures to potential customers in your area. Take advantage of free resources online such as Microsoft Office templates (click on link) which allow you to create your own marketing tools such as flyers, without the help of an agency or designer. Four Seasons General Merchandise also offers Catalog Customization for certain customers. Imagine, our catalog with your business's name and prices! Just fill out an application to see if you qualify for this helpful tool.
- Add line extensions. If a potential customer is trying to contact you and can never get a hold of your business, they will most likely go somewhere else. Adding line extensions allows more customers to contact a "real" person instead of your machine or a busy tone.
- Don't be afraid to test out a new business recipe. You'll never know what can bring you more business unless you try new tactics. Starbucks found a new recipe when they began to sell CDs alongside their trademark products. Once you find something that works, stick with it and continue to add new methods.

Finally the best tip is to continuously search for more knowledge and always be a step ahead of your competition. The author of this article, Steven D. Strauss, also wrote Small Business Bible: Everything You Need to Know to Succeed in Your Small Business, which is a resourceful guide for any small business owner.
We here, at 4sgm.com, hope that these hints will help your business not only succeed but expand. If you have any questions or comments, please visit us at www.4sgm.com or contact us at (323) 826-1199.
