Tip to boost business:
Celebrate unusual holidays. Between now and the end of the year there are a variety of fun, creative holidays that you can celebrate and adapt to feature a product or a service. No one takes the time to do this – and your customer will get a kick out of it. Send a Thanksgiving card/Winter card or gift with a special offer if they display it at their office. The point is to actually MARK these holidays and use them to promote your small business.

Worksite Wellness Tip of the Week From LiveWell Wheat Ridge
Undetected diabetes can impact work productivity and safety. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes or juvenile onset diabetes may account for 5% to 10% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Types 2 diabetes, also known as adult onset diabetes, may account for about 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Some diabetes symptoms include: Frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, extreme hunger, sudden vision changes.
To calculate and lower your risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, visit the following websites for additional information: http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/my-health-advisor/ http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/checkup-america/ You can also prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes through a healthy lifestyle by changing your diet, increasing your level of physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight.
