This December 2025 issue of Univision PawPrint is a practical, holiday-season survival guide for small businesses—covering the two things most likely to blow up in December: customer expectations and online scams.
First, it delivers a “Holiday Tech Etiquette” checklist that prevents the easy mistakes that cost you goodwill fast: inaccurate Google hours, outdated voicemail greetings, and out-of-office replies that feel cold (or overshare personal details). The message is simple: clear, human communication reduces frustration, protects your reputation, and keeps customers loyal—even when you’re closed.
Next, it tackles the darker side of holiday generosity: fundraiser and charity scams. You’ll learn how to quickly vet a fundraiser, recognize classic red flags (urgency, vague details, strange payment methods, copycat stories), and put simple safeguards in place so your business doesn’t accidentally fund fraud—or attach its name to it.
You’ll also find a fast-hit tech feature on a standout “smart” kitchen gadget, plus sharp brand-building lessons from Gene Simmons—on work ethic, communication, diversifying income, and protecting your assets—written in a way that translates directly to business owners.
