Nifty ideas you can use to build a better business
Packaged Vacations
Small-business owners often find it
difficult to take a short vacation, let alone
take the time to plan a fabulous getaway. So
here’s an idea to help you make the break:
ready-made vacations. Just choose your
destination, and these outfits handle all of
the details, planning and arrangements.
-
www.amtrak.com
Ride the rails with Amtrak’s family vacation
packages. They include train tickets, hotel
accommodations and sightseeing.
-
www.duderanch.org
Saddle up for a vacation through the Dude
Rancher’s Association Web site. You choose
what state or states you want to visit and
when you want to go. Then you select which
activities you’re interested in, such as
river rafting, camping and children’s
programs. The Web site’s search engine finds
ranches for you across the United States and
Canada.

www.sportstravelandtours.com
Got a sports fan in the family? Sports
Travel and Tours has the vacation for you.
This site offers packages for golf, tennis,
soccer, NASCAR, hockey, baseball, basketball
and football.
Trading Spaces
When you’re in the hunt for new business
space, look beyond the location and square
footage. A space that might be right for you,
your staff and your customers could be all
wrong for your technology. You need to
identify how much storage room you’ll have for
printers, servers and the like. Also look at
the number, placement and age of electrical
outlets. If you’re eyeing an older building,
be aware that there may be a limitation on the
number of telephone lines you can install. If
you’re unsure whether a potential space can
handle your tech load, get inspections and
recommendations from a professional.
