Tips from June 30, 2009
The Small Business tips today will be about taking a step back and readjusting how you manage your business.
- If things are slow, change
your look and feel about your business. Keep your business updated
with current times and trends to catch potential customers' eyes.
- Ask
for feedback from customers about what can be done to update your
business. Loyal customers can give a great response as they are
dedicated to your business.
- Recalculate
your budget. Some of the money you thought was a good idea to spend in
one area may be better in another. If needed, write up a modified
budget and think about how you can save.
- Keep
track of your office supplies. Take inventory and cut back on your
overstocked supplies and focus your money on purchasing the essential
ones. ABC members have discounts on thousands of products at Staples.

Overview: Look at the big picture when analyzing your business. Decide
what is essential and what is not to eliminate wasteful and meaningless
spending to have more money for your business.
