The week between Christmas and New Year’s is traditionally a slow business period. It’s a great time to chill out, but it can also be more than marginally constructive. Use some of your “quiet time” to devise one important new marketing initiative for 2010. Then, be sure to put it into action next year. Come January 4, you’ll not only feel challenged by the year that lies ahead, you’ll feel better for having done something constructive  during this break (you may even be able to take the results to the bank).
