Develop Your Brand Persona
If your company came to life as a human being, what would that person be like? That's the basis of brand personas, a tool increasingly used by big companies as a more corporeal addition to the usual value proposition and brand attributes. This month, flesh out your brand persona.

Revisit Tablet PCs
Are you still hauling around a bag or binder full of printouts? Now that the iPad's not the only game in town, it's time to consider tablets again. Android tablets start at less than half the iPad's price, and Windows tablets run the full desktop operating system and its programs.

Pay Your Withholding Online
If you're still paying your sales tax, payroll or personal income withholdings by mail, switch to online payment. Not only will you use less paper and less postage, but you can also schedule payments for the exact date they're due, relieving tight small business cash flows.
