Seminar Provided Insight, Advice and Resources for Weathering the RecessionPresenting a cogent and compelling explanation of the global fi nancial quagmire at the Alliance’s December 9 “Surviving the Credit Crunch” seminar, Mason School of Business Finance Professor Vladimir Atanasov advised local businesses to prepare for a prolonged recession. Strategies include managing inventories, receivables and payables; reviewing salaries; using commissioned sales structures; and doing their homework when working with lending institutions. He also suggested the Sequoia Capital website, www.slideshare.net/eldon/sequoia-capital-on-startups-and-the-economic-downturn-presentation?type+powerpoint, as a source of advice.

A panel discussion with executives from Chesapeake Bank, First Market Bank, Old Point National Bank and Virginia Company Bank focused on the local credit situation, emphasizing that they continue to make loans and lines of credit available and do not foresee changes to their lending practices.

Echoing the recommendations of Professor Atanasov, they added that businesses should pay close attention to managing their cash fl ows and balance sheets, and continually review business plans to refl ect marketplace changes.

For members who could not attend Tuesday’s seminar, the Alliance will post excerpts from Professor Atanasov’s presentation in the “Members Only” section of www.williamsburgcc.com in January, accompanied by key points made during the fi nancial panel discussion and presentations by local service providers.

The Cedars of Williamsburg Bed & Breakfast is Williamsburg’s oldest and largest bed and breakfast, opening its doors in 1935 in response to travelers visiting Rockefeller’s newest project of the time - Colonial Williamsburg’s restoration. The Cedars’ traditions and reputation are deeply rooted in the region’s growth and history. As the Cedars’ sixth owners, we apply our combined marketing, technology and business backgrounds to bear on a familiar and popular Williamsburg hospitality icon.

The cornerstones of the Cedars’ business successes are ensuring a truly unique guest experience, community events/involvement, Internet marketing and strategic alliances/partnerships. Our continued and future success lies in our ongoing and growing relationships with tourism and strategic partners: the Alliance, Busch Gardens, Jamestown/Yorktown Foundation, Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary.

Message from the President

It is the start of a new year. Make a resolution to do something positive for your business and yourself. Plan to participate in educational activities that are designed specifi cally for you.

Those of you who attended our work-shop “Surviving the Credit Crunch” on December 9, saw the value of our partnership with the Technology and Business Center and Mason School of Business at William & Mary, SCORE and the SBDC of Hampton Roads. Everyone gained important insights into the current fi nancial situation as well as thoughts for consideration in operating during these trying times. Many thanks to these organizations and to the four banks that participated on our panel: Chesapeake Bank, First Market Bank, Old Point National Bank and the Virginia Company Bank. All of them shared their operating philosophies and made clear that they have money to lend and are operating on a “business as usual” basis. They want to be of help.

You will be hearing shortly of another partnership with W & M to bring you a “micro-MBA.” This will be a series of eight half-day seminars taught by

business school professors, covering the following subjects of value to every business: Business Self Assessment Tools, Strategic Business Planning, Essentials of Finance, Sales & Market-ing, and Lean Processes and Operations. The diffi cult economy in which we now operate demands smart approaches to business. These seminars can help your business weather the storm. Further, this economy will improve, and your business needs to be prepared. Attend-ing these seminars is a starting point.

We will be able to accommodate only 25 participants, so please respond quickly once the offi cial announcement is made.

Help your business prosper

Richard Schreiber, President/CEO

Sincerely,

Richard Schreiber, President/CEO

Sincerely,

The diffi cult economy in which we

now operate demands smart approaches .

Finance Professor Vladimir Atanasov of the Mason School of Business speaks at the Alliance December seminar.

Alliance Members,

Asking for contributions given the current fi nancial turmoil and the time of year is sort of swimming upstream against a very heavy current.

However, on May 16, 2009, we will be hold-ing our 4th annual Armed Forces Day 5K. This event is our primary funding source for supporting our area’s military members throughout the year.

Please remember us as you plan your budgets. We thank you in advance for your continued support to our military forces and for what you do to show your appreciation for their sacrifi ces.

Ken BarauskyChair, Armed Forces Committee

If you have questions about this or other

business subjects, call SCORE 229-6511 or

email [email protected] to arrange

for a free and confi dential appointment. The

Williamsburg SCORE offi ce is located in the

Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism Alliance

Building at 421 N. Boundary St.

Ask SCORE:Counselors to America’s Small Business

1) Avoid buying name-

brand items in small

quantities. Shop for bargains online.

Superstores like Offi ce Depot offer

“store brands” at reduced prices.

2) Don’t photocopy high-volume

items that you might have printed

at a lower cost. Copies typically cost

5 to 15 cents each, even when you

do them yourself. Printing can lower

the cost to three cents each or less.

Items to watch: forms, fl yers and

form letters.

3) Think of your inventory as

company cash sitting on a shelf

or in a warehouse doing nothing.

Costs include storage, insurance

and taxes, among others. Keep

good records and regularly root

out dead items.

4) Express shipments for next

morning delivery are costly.

Consider next afternoon or maybe

two- or three-day service; don’t opt

for the fastest when it’s not needed.

5) Review vendor relationships at

least annually for Internet services,

phone, wireless, DSL, shipping,

legal, printing and other day-to-day

expenses. Prices and package deals

change and you may be overpaying

or missing out on a great deal.
