Hub You - 10 Business Card Basics: Does Yours Have Them?
Personal Internet use at work has gotten an increasing number of staff in trouble with their employer.Some people have even gotten fired in extreme cases for their personal Internet use at work.If your company has a policy on Internet use at work, you should pay close attention to it especially if you work for a company that has specified limits on your usage. If you don’t know if your company has an Internet policy, ask your manager.If there is one thing you need to be aware of when it comes to Internet usage it’s that your company can tell what websites you have visited if they want to and you really can’t do much to hide your tracks.Clearing your Internet History on your browser and clearing files you have downloaded don’t help to erase the tracks you have left on the Internet.Similarly don’t think that deleting emails in your In Box or Sent Box prevents

With cell phones, PDA’s and instant messaging we continue to seek devices and software that will allow us to accomplish multiple tasks efficiently and effectively. Survival of the swiftest has been the business mantra for some time.Remember the story of the tortoise and the hare? The hare is swift, and when the race begins he feels he can easily put a great deal of distance between himself and the tortoise. Thinking his speed will allow him to overtake the tortoise at will, the hare decides to eat and rest. Though the tortoise is slower, his pace is steady. He never stops or slows. Due to the hare’s reliance upon speed, and his lack of focus on the goal (the finish line), he doesn’t win the race. The tortoise is the victor.Slow and Consistent Are Appreciated TooThis story came to mind when thinking about my mechanic. He is an independent mechanic with a small repa
I think many small business owners miss the boat when it comes to their business card. I'm looking at a variety of cards right now that I've received over the past few months.
Most of them are missing at least one key element that could be helping them attract more clients and prospects.
Most business cards include the basic contact information, but that's where they stop.
Your business card is a marketing opportunity. Every time you hand one out, it's a chance to communicate something about your business. It's a chance to help establish your brand identity.
And, it's a chance to attract prospects and clients to your business.
But only if you include the proper information.
Following is my list of 10 things every business card should include, along with a few basic tips on creating a business card that works hard for your business. While some of it seems pretty basic, you'd be surprised what I see on some business cards!
Use it as a checklist to evaluate your business card to see how it measures up.

With literally hundreds of local self-storage facilities in any given area, how is one to choose one from another? Are those with the big, flashy signs the best, or should you stick to the one close to home? Your friend’s cousin rented one last spring- maybe you should give her a call? How will you know if you are choosing the right self-storage company to suit your needs?For the majority of us, when it comes to purchasing something that we have never needed before, hind-sight is almost always 20/20. Our research is hindered by the bright and snazzy colors of bulletin boards, local newspapers and other ad sources in the community, making us easily forget what it is that we we’re actually looking for in a product or service. The self-storage industry is no different.For starters, do your homework. Your efforts on this venture will need quite a bit of forethought and a knowledge

We all know what it feels like to come up empty handed, especially when trying to recruit new employees. You pay hundreds of dollars to post a job and then thousands of dollars to interview, sift through the information, and finally you get down to selecting from the final few. The key is selecting the correct medium to solicit the position and get the top candidates to apply for that particular position and avoid all the chaff.One such medium is video. Youtube and other such sites have been generating buzz in the video delivery service area and has millions of viewers. Already businesses are using it for viral marketing and it is sinking in with their marketed crowds. Why not use this tremendous medium with its far reaching tentacles to attract the smartest or most talented people for your company? Google has been posting job openings for its own company in its advert spots which I am

If you turn on the T.V, or open up a newspaper you are likely to find an ad for a work at home company. These schemes are on the rise and you can find them almost anywhere, from the telephone pole flyers, to television commercials. These advertisements promise anything from a few bucks made on the side, to instant wealth and quick cash. But one has to ask the obvious question: Do these companies really deliver on their promises?Caution should be exerted when looking into one of these advertisements. Most of these get rich quick plots, and work from home companies are just con artists looking to scam you out of your money. Most of the time you notice too late what has happened, and that these ads have left out some very important facts. They may have left out the fact that you will have to work many many hours to get the job done, and with out pay sometimes too. Some even charge fees wh

You'd be surprised how many people leave this off. I recently received the business cards from two gentlemen who work for a major public relations firm. One is the founder and president, the other an assistant. Neither of their cards feature job titles. If time goes by and I forget who they are, or if I pass along their cards or contact info to someone else, they might not have any idea one of them is the owner of the company.
Too bad. It doesn't cost any more to print a title on the card.
3. Your Business Name
Most people get this one right. If, however, you don't have a business name, and you're operating as "Mary Smith, Accountant" you need to get one. Even if you're operating as a sole proprietor, a business name tells your prospects you're serious, that this is a business and not a hobby.

4. Your Mailing Address
Make it easy for people to contact you. Five of the 20 business cards I just pulled out of my files do NOT include a mailing address. If you work out of your home and don't want to publish your home address, get a P.O. Box or Postal Mail Box.
