Without question this is one of the most challenging economic environments that anyone has seen in recent memory. Foreclosures are on the rise, jobs are being cut, and business, small businesses in particular, are struggling. Some are shuttering their doors, but still others are attempting to be innovative and creating new solutions to help their business thrive.
Here’s an example of advice from a recent article on CNN, who made some suggestions to a small brick and mortar operation building an online presence:
“When people shop in your store, good customer service can make up for poor merchandising, out-of-stock items, and non-competitive pricing,” says Pamela Swingley, founder of Savvy Internet Marketingin Orinda, Calif. “But online, you can’t step in and make the sale right. You have to automatically deliver a welcoming customer experience, or shoppers will click away to your competitor.”
Expanding your abilities to accept payments from customers can also help to garner more sales. Many businesses offer the ability to add ACH Processing or the ability to accept checks by phone. The more convenient it is for your customers to make a purchase, the more likely they are to go forward with a buying decision.
The stock market has been crushed ruthlessly over the past few months, and the carnage has sent many investors running for the exits. Yet at a time when it looks like the economy is in peril, that also presents opportunities to the savvy investor. The real core of financial security is having your eggs in as many income producing baskets as possible. From dividends to money market interest to income-producing real estate, wealthy people are wealthy because they have a wide variety of sources for their wealth.
Whether it’s learning how to make money online or brushing up on your investment strategy, it’s important to realize that you don’t want all of your income tethered to your current job. As recent history suggests, it may not be as secure as you think, and you’ll want those income cushions to keep you afloat should anything go wrong.
There’s been a lot of to-do about the recent McCain campaign efforts involving robo calls or automated messages to consumers across the country in an attempt to persuade them to vote. Despite some backlash however, the move has also caused a lot of businesses (and politicians) to look into the practice.
Utilizing a voice broadcast service does provide some unique benefits despite it’s somewhat tarnished reputation. Being able to get your message directly to potential customers even for a few brief moments can generate a number of sales and provide other advantages to an organization that you may not have had otherwise.
