🎄 The Free Delivery Dilemma This Christmas 🎄 As we dash towards Christmas, let's talk about the elephant in the room - free delivery. Whilst the retail giants offer next-day delivery at no cost, what's the real impact on small British businesses during the festive season? Some food for thought: • The average small business spends £3-£5 per parcel • Royal Mail's last posting dates are getting earlier • Christmas delivery slots are booking up faster than mince pies sell out at M&S Here's the Christmas cracker of a question: As consumers, we're spoilt for choice. The big players have trained us to expect parcels faster than Father Christmas himself. But at what cost? 🎯 To the environment: Multiple vans half-empty, racing to meet next-day promises 🎯 To small businesses: Squeezed margins during the most crucial trading period 🎯 To local communities: Independent shops struggling to compete I'm genuinely curious... When Christmas shopping, what matters more to you? • Lightning-fast free delivery from major retailers • Supporting small businesses with reasonable delivery charges • A mix of both? Would love to hear your thoughts! Are we willing to wait a few extra days for our pressies if it means supporting independent businesses? Or has the convenience culture changed Christmas shopping forever? Let's unwrap this conversation together 🎁 #ChristmasShopping #SmallBusinessChristmas #BritishBusiness #ShopSmall #SupportLocal

Christmas is coming. 🎅 Are you ready? To say that Christmas is the busiest time of the year for many small business owners is an understatement.

From additional staffing and stock costs to seasonal product launches, it’s important to keep your cash flow in check so you can deal with any added pressure on your business and make the most of the opportunities Christmas brings. Healthy cash flow ensures suppliers and staff are paid, contracts are delivered, stock is replenished and profits are earned. Here are our top tips to help you keep track of your business’s cash flow and manage it like a pro during the festive season. 🎁 Tag a small business owner who is already thinking about Christmas. #SMEUK #SmallBusinessMatters #SmallBusinessLife
