  • Business Success Tip
  • Are you optimizing how you use your business card to communicate with your clientele?

    Today's business professional has a variety of tools available to enhance client communications.  From the traditional business card to the Internet, effective communications has become an extremely important aspect of successful business administration.  Optimizing how you use these communications channels to promote your business and keep in contact with your existing and future clients can be invaluable.

    We generally think of the business card as a fundamental marketing tool, however many fail to optimize the effectiveness of this tool.  The back of the business card is largely a forgotten marketing tool that can easily and inexpensively be used as advertising space that you already own!  Adding a product list; product descriptions; offering a customer discount or announcing a special deal are great ways to optimize your use of the back of the business card. 

    In many instances your existing business card printer will allow you to print text on the back of your business card for a small additional fee or in some instances, no additional cost! 


    EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS - ARE YOU PREPARED?

    Were you aware that your tax dollars were supporting this new government sponsored initiative…

    The Emergency Email & Wireless Network® is a free public service that is the result of a private and public partnership.  Each day more local government agencies are joining the network which is being promoted as a national asset.  The network provides information, free to the public, about emergency related news specific to your community, including severe weather news, airport closings and delays, water craft advisories, etc.  You can sign up to receive email notifications of emergency news for your local area or any area that is participating.  For example, last week we had a tornado warning here in the Baltimore/Washington region and I received the notification as soon as the National Weather service notice was released. You can sign up for the notifications at http://www.emergencyemail.org/ and have the notices delivered to your email, pager or cell phone.
