The 50 Best Tips of 2008

Tired of reading about what a tough year it’s been for so many businesses across the board? Frustrated with your own results? Scared about the economy? Whether or not you’re struggling as much as others, here’s a little tonic: our annual best-of feature, in which we’ve pulled what we believe to be the 50 best and most implementable tips of the year from Catalog Success magazine as well as our weekly e-newsletter, Tactics & Tips.
There’s nothing fancy here. Each paragraph is taken from a particular story that’s referenced, so you can turn or click back to reread the full story or act on it right now without further adieu. They’re categorized and listed by number, but No. 50 is just as worthwhile as No. 1. None of these tips have become outdated in the weeks or months since we first ran them. So I urge you to read through all of them, and hopefully, you’ll come up with some new winning formulas.
