Save Dough When You Go: A Guide to Vacation Cash Conservation 

Camera, sunscreen, golf clubs, a good book; when it comes to vacation necessities do not forget to bring along your wise spending habits. They will not take up any room in your suitcase and even better, they might just result in a richer yet less expensive vacation experience.

 

According to experts from the Financial Planning Association in Denver, Colo., making the effort to stretch your vacation dollar may give you more options on your trip to relax while seeing and doing more. Individuals may even be able to stretch your vacation a little longer than originally planned. All you really need is a nose for finding deals (access to the Internet helps, but is not essential). Here are some tips for uncovering the best deals... To learn more, click here.

 

 


Hunt or be hunted? You don't hunt for your customers, they hunt for you. They silently creep closer and closer, and then they pounce! Predators are opportunistic hunters; after a careful stalk, will most often get their prey. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) feeds the search engine ranking beast, helps you get recognized, and is how you get found by your customers.

U.S. Patents & Trademark Office  (USPTO)

A Small Business - Big Questions

 

Piracy, counterfeiting and the theft of intellectual property pose a serious threat to all U.S. businesses. Industry estimates of the cost of such theft range from $250 billion to 750,000 jobs per year. Small businesses often find themselves at a particular disadvantage because they often lack the resources and expertise available to larger corporations.

 

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the Natioanal Business Association (NBA) have partnered to help address this problem by participating in a nationwide program to encourage small businesses to recognize and consider the benefits of strong IP protection-both domestically and abroad. Specifically, the USPTO wants businesses to know:

  • When to apply;
     
  • What type of protection to apply for;
     
  • Where to apply; and
     
  • How to apply.
