Useful fiscal year-end spending tips
For many self-employed/companies the fiscal year also ends at the end of December and the ones that aren’t near bankruptcy always want to create some extra costs to lower their profit. Some forced shopping (for business related stuff, of course) can be both entertaining and useful.
Who knows. Maybe you’ll save the economy!
I like these:
- Advertising in general, Google Adwords (or similar) in particular. On the PPC advertisement programs (like Adwords), you can increase the funds in your account and use them when they are needed.
- Gifts for your customers. Coupons are nice because they can also be used when needed.
- Training: push yourself to take an exam next year and pick a date now!
And the obvious:
- Hardware (ask your accountant what urgently needs replacement – who else knows best). Don’t forget to recycle the replaced parts!
- Software licenses.
- Pension plans.
- And books of course. One I’m currently reading and highly recommend:
Landing Page Optimization by Tim Ash – highly recommended (although I didn’t finish it yet) - A Nabaztag.
If you don’t over-spend foolishly, you’ll have the same “problem” next year.
Other tips? Let me know and I’ll add them to the list.
