Add Pizzazz to Your Company Picnic
Does your annual company picnic need a little pick-me-up? Do
you get the feeling your employees show up only because it's expected, not
because they really want to? Save the
day. Try some of these ideas to add pizzazz without necessarily increasing your
budget.

Profiting from Ad Sales During an Economic Slump
The recent economic downturn has left many potential
advertisers much more reluctant to pay the prices they would have a year or two
ago. Here are six ways to boost your ad sales and profits in spite of the
economy.

Don't Accidentally Lose Your Merchant Account!
Are you sure your merchant account is sufficient for your
current business operations? If you are selling something significantly
different, or through a different avenue, than when you acquired your merchant
account, you could be setting yourself up for big problems!

Understand the 80/20 Rule of Business
The 80/20 rule has stood the test of time in every industry,
for every profession covering every job function. Use it wisely in your
internet entrepreneurial activity, and you will be well rewarded.

Creating Customer Service Instructions
What do your associates do when a customer walks in five
minutes before closing to browse around, or returns something the same day they
purchased it? Rather than hoping for the best, provide your employees with
written instructions on how to handle such situations.
