A number of industry or trade associations are also offering free webinars to attend - I'd recommend checking out your industry and see if there are any 'free' programs. The cost is your time of course - but if business is slow now is the best time to try to learn new ways of doing business. Great ideas.

That applies not only to stores but to business in general. This is what I have experienced over a period of time. The only way out I have tried is trying a new product or preparing for more prospective clients. This is a good list, I will try some of them this year hopefully they bring some change to a long trend.
