Royal Wedding no holiday for small businesses

It's all very well for the Royal Wedding on 29 April 2011 to be a cause for celebration, but for those of us who run small businesses, the declaration of a bank holiday is a royal pain!

A non-working day means no income for small businesses and freelancers.

Those who work for large corporates will be delighted, of course, as will any business that might make some money out of the occasion (a Wedding mug, anyone?).

Perhaps the secret is turn your business to try and make an advantage from the Big Day, but most of us do not make branded cups, or lacey goods that might be suitable.

How about: A 20% discount for everything ordered on 29 April 2011?

That might work.
