Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business
Kids & Biz
Kids and home businesses don’t make a natural
match. But, holding a family meeting can help
you happily cohabitate.
Use the family meeting to discuss such issues
as:
-
Why and when the
home office is off-limits to kids
-
Who’s on duty for
child care
-
When buddies can
come to the house to play
-
When the kids can
(and can’t) take care of noisy chores, like
vacuuming
-
Times when you
simply can’t be interrupted
-
What constitutes
an emergency interruption
-
At what times
you’ll be available to play with the family
instead of work
-
Who can (and
can’t) answer the phone during business hours
Save On
Promotions
Promotional products can help boost your
business. They can also bust your marketing
budget unless you maximize your investment.
Here are some tips to help you make the most
of promotional products:
-
Set a specific
goal for your promotional products to help
determine the quantity you can use
-
Always consider
the limited shelf life of products and don’t
buy more than you need
-
Include indirect
expenses, such as shipping or additional
graphic design, in your budget
-
Calculate the per
item cost to make sure you’re getting a good
value for your marketing dollar
-
Stick to your
budget
