      Some small businesses believe that business is only about making money—the sale is all that matters. Making money and sales are important—no money, no business—however; the relationships you build with your customers influence future sales. And it's a fact that a second sale from an existing customer costs less to achieve than a first time sale to a new customer.

        The Future Is Bright For Six Sigma
        There are arguments raging over efficacy of Six Sigma in all aspects of business processes. Take, for example, the case of billing your customers. If the process is fundamentally defective, where Six Sigma fails to take a strategic and holistic approach without focusing on the flaws inherent in the system itself, Six Sigma’s outstanding abilities to unearth root causes of inefficiency can’t be questioned. It deploys analytical and statistical tools to expose flaws in the execution, albeit without questioning whether the process itself is riddled with defects.Ke

            Factoring Companies
            After the products have been selected and the systems for producing them have been designed and built, the next major step is to operate the system. This requires setting up a company structure, staffing the positions and training people. In factoring companies, managers are needed who can provide the supervision and leadership to carry out activities necessary to produce desired products or provide services.

              Reinventing Velcro: The Importance of Brand Simplicity

              Here are some ways you can effectively market your small business while positively building your brand and reinforcing relationships:

              • Traditional Newsletters
                Newsletters are an easy way to keep your small business name in front of your customers while not only building the relationship, but also establishing your business as the 'expert.' Newsletters can be big or small, long or short; but they MUST be valuable—make sure to include information your customers need and want.
              • Postcard Marketing
                Another quick way to keep yourself on your customer's radar is using postcards. They're an inexpensive yet effective way to share brief snippets of information, or pass along 'deals.'
              • "Thank You" Events
                You can never say thank you too many times. One great way to thank your customers is to have an open house of sorts. Depending on what your small business does, you can tailor the event to what your small business is best at, just be creative.
              • Writing/Providing Information
                • Association Newsletters
                  There is an association for every industry, hobby or area of interest. Many of them publish newsletters and are always willing to accept content—so write an article and submit it, it's a way to get your name out there and it's free.
