Like most people, you may be sitting back during the 1^st quarter, pouring over sales numbers from the holidays, and trying to catch your breath.  When the 2^nd quarter rolls around, you can start looking for your new locations, right?
 
WRONG!
 
The 1^st quarter is a proven time to find the best locations available in retail.  Malls are eager to fill open spaces from companies who bailed out after the holiday bonanza.  A lot of leases are worded to terminate at the end of the calendar year.  Retail strip centers are putting out their “space for lease” signs. 
 
You will be able to negotiate the best lease terms, find the best places, and set up for a more successful year by securing new locations in the 1^st quarter.  By the time you reach agreement with the landlord, you will be flowing into the second quarter with new location openings and capitalizing on the lift that retail witnesses in the spring and early summer.  Additionally, a lot of your business partners have new budgets with funds available now for build outs.  And we all know that our importance to the carriers increases as you add locations.
 
You can now use the 3^rd quarter to prepare for your success for the 4^th quarter of 2005, instead of rushing around trying to find average locations at the last minute.
 
So, pick up the phone, hit the pavement, and be extremely active in finding the retail jewels that will bring you dividends for this year and years to come.
