Cool Tech Tools: When There's No Internet, Use Your Personal Hotspot
 
Have you ever been in a situation where there's no internet and you needed it? Or perhaps you're at a hotel and don't want to pay the extra $15 per day for wireless internet. If so, you're not alone, and luckily, there's a gadget for just about everything. This time, it's a gadget you probably already have: all you need to do is whip out your cell phone.
 
iPhone
 
Your cell phone can act as your wireless modem. Plug the iPhone into your PC using your USB connection. Go to Settings on your iPhone and one of your settings will be labeled Personal Hotspot. Tap it and toggle it to "on." Set a password.
 
On your PC, view your wireless internet connections, and the name you've given your phone will show up. Click to connect and enter the password you set on your phone.
 
Voila, internet!
 
Android
 
If you have an Android, tap More... and select Wireless and Networks, then Tethering and Portable Hotspot. Check Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. Tap Portable Wi-Fi hotspot settings and you can edit the Wi-Fi network name, and choose a password.
 
On your PC, view your wireless internet connections, and the name you've given the Wi-Fi network will show up. Click to connect and enter the password you set on your phone.
 
Fees
 
Ask your cell phone network provider if this hotspot feature is included in your package or is an extra charge. You may also have to call then to enable this feature.
 
Once you've used this once, you'll be hooked. You now have a new internet access alternative anywhere you have cell phone coverage.

Ten Excuses to Have a Sale
 
 
  
If you need cash fast, there's nothing like having a sale to increase your bank account quickly. Here are ten excuses you can use to tell your customers you're having a sale.
 
1-  
It's Your Birthday (or Your Business's Birthday)
 
We all feel generous on our birthday, so why not have a sale on your special day. You can even tie to discount amount to your day of birth. For example, if you were born on the 14th, then you can offer customers 14% off.
 
Similarly, you can hold an anniversary sale on your business's anniversary date. It's a good way to let customers know how long you've been in business.
 
2-      Your Partner Is on Vacation
 
If you have a business partner, you can use the excuse, "When the cat's away, the mice will play." You can pretend that your partner knows nothing about the sale, but has left you in charge and you're going to have this sale. The customers will enjoy the reason and feel like they are getting away with something fun.
 
3-      Holidays
 
Most stores have holiday sales, and you can too. There are so many unusual holidays that you can tap into just in case the holidays are at an inconvenient time. Here's a website that will give you a list of special days, weeks, and holidays: http://www.holidayinsights.com/moreholidays/
 
4-      The Full Moon
 
Why not? It might be the best sale you've ever had. The next full moon is July 2, 2015, and you're in luck because July has a blue moon (when two full moons occur on one month)
on July 31, 2015.
 
5-      Small Business Saturday
 
November 28, 2015 is Small Business Saturday. It's one day after Black Friday and the Saturday before Cyber Monday. Small Business Saturday is relatively new, but has been gaining momentum in the past few years.
 
6-      Tax Holidays
 
In some states the sales tax authority provides exemptions for a few days on selected categories of items. For example, in August, Texas allows one weekend where sales tax does not have to be paid or collected on school supplies. You may not even have to mark down your items to generate a crowd for sales tax holidays. Here's a Wikipedia page on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax_holiday
 
7-      Old Inventory Items or Overstock Conditions

A great reason to have a sale is when you have old inventory items you need to clear out. Similarly, if you're overstocked on certain items, a sale will help them move.  
 
8-      Your Kid's College Tuition Is Due
 
You can have a lot of fun by advertising that you simply need to make your tuition payments. Customers will get a smile out of helping you out and relating to a familiar need.
 
9-      The Stock Market
 
If the stock market goes up or down, you can have a sale based on its performance.
 
10-    Seasonal Dates
 
Dates such as the first day of summer, Spring Equinox, or even April 15th, tax day (in the U.S.) can be potential sales days for your business. Think about seasonal dates related to your industry.
 
Try these ten ideas to get your sale noticed.
