 Ah, the lazy days of summer... fun in the sun, picnics at the park, backyard barbecues, trips to the lake, and leisurely walks around your neighborhood. Right? Well, sort of. Sometimes our workloads don't always shift along with the temperatures, leaving us little time to enjoy the summer
sun. So, if you find yourself gazing out your office window thinking summer is passing you by, it might be time to re-prioritize your schedule.
Now, we're not suggesting you quit work and become a beach bum, but if you incorporate some small changes into your work routine, you just might find you are more productive (and happier). Start with taking some time out for lunch and head outside to enjoy the warmth of the day. Consider holding business meetings in pleasant locations such as an outdoor café or park. Get up early to watch the sun rise. Whatever summer activities you enjoy, try to find time to squeeze them into your day. By focusing on a healthy work-life balance, you will feel refreshed and ready take on anything.
This month, we're introducing a cost-effective new marketing product, providing tips for beating the summer lull, and highlighting PFL's recent company happenings.

How to Beat the Summer Lull
Welcome to July! We are now officially knee deep in summer. That means along with watermelon and sunburns, you're probably also facing sluggish sales and a loss of in-store face time with customers. As happens every year, people are devoting more time to fun in the sun than they are to making serious buying decisions. In this article from Small Business Trends, you'll learn how to combat and tackle the quiet summer months.

In this article from the July issue of InDesign Magazine, you'll learn the essential elements of effective business card design, and what you can do to add that little something extra.

Recession Rebound?
Nobody knows for sure what is going to happen to the economy in the coming months. So, last month we took the current pulse by asking you what your business has been experiencing. The majority (43%) of those that responded say that they are seeing signs of hope, 36% say that business is still continuing to slide, and 21% say that business has leveled out. Additional comments were all across the board:
- "I will have my best year ever since beginning my speaking
and training business 5 years ago."
- "Our business hasn't been this slow since the 90's."
- "While many give verbal approval to future work, none are signing. Getting people to 'pull the trigger' has become a very creative endeavor."
