The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will.

Tips and Tricks

We want to make your life easier and less stressful so we will now add a handy tip in each issue to make that happen.

 

Spend to Earn

Instead of trying to be frugal and shopping only with cash, use your credit card.

.There are two rules to do

 this and earn manony while you spend.
Use a card with a very vigarous rebate program.
Always pay it balance in full each month. Try putting away the cash equivalent and using that to pay the balance.

You will be pleased with all the points you can collect to use for something special.

Do you really know your customers?   

The best way to find out who they are and

what they want is to ask them. 

Contact 

us to find out how.

Kids with Crayons

 

       What is that little black and white square that is popping up on all kinds of advertising? That little box that looks like a child's artwork is called a QR code. QR is abbreviated from "quick response". With a Quick Response code app on your smart phone, you can scan the square to get more information on a particular product or service

       .QR codes were first developed in 1994 by Toyota for inventory tracking in their truck plant. Because it can store a lot Bar Code more information than a standard bar code, its use expanded to other industries. The code may contain information about product details, contact details, offer details, event details, or a link to your Website, Facebook page, or YouTube video.

       Your code should appear on all print advertising, on your website leading to special offers or events, and your business card. This will allow potential customers or clients to find you easily from their phones. You can even use the application for online coupons or loyalty specials. All of the major app stores have QR Readers available, usually at no cost. Just download it and you are ready to scan codes wherever they appear.

        Making it as easy as possible for your clients/customers to connect with you will help you build your business. No longer will they have to type in cumbersome URLs and trip through several pages to find you. Your marketing information is at their fingertips; which puts ahead of the competition who haven't yet embraced the new technology.
