Florida Small BusinessMy husband established his Florida Small Business in 1997. The economy was great and you didn't have to put in any marketing efforts. Customers found you on their own. Time changes. Now, you really have to give everything and work hard to attract customers to you. I think the biggest challenge for Florida's small business owners, doing business locally, are the "snow birds". Floridians use these two words for people who live in Florida in the colder winter months only. So many brick-and-mortar businesses in areas with high customer fluctuations through tourism are also affected from seasonal highs and downs.

Are your small business target customers business owners (B2B) or residents (B2R)? No matter what they are, you will feel the seasonal customer and sales fluctuations, especially in the months of May to November.As a small biz owner with B2R focus my husband's local company feels the seasonal customers and sales fluctuations in Florida.
