Small Business Info, Workplace

Most people know that stress can lead to serious health problems. But some don’t realize that stress can have a negative impact on your job and also affect the bottom line of your company.

123Print Infographics, Small Business Info

45% of Americans planned to ring in the New Year with promises to make 2013 better than 2012. New Year’s resolutions are timeless. Year after year, the same resolutions hold true.

Who can forget the “United Breaks Guitars” video, which is now up to over 12.6 million views! Not only is it nice to listen to and respond to your customers, it’s good business. In the December “Hear Ye, Hear Ye” infographic, it points out that nine out of 10 people are more likely to purchase from a company after having a good customer service experience. It also states that 18% of people refuse to do business with a company that provides poor service. You can see…

123Print Infographics, Small Business Info

Why? Because even in the era of email and electronic address books, there’s still something to be said about presenting a prospective customer with an attractive, eye-catching business card that clearly conveys the personality, philosophy and attitude of your company. Plus, there’s nothing like a real-life business card that you can touch and feel to remind you of a contact you made. This compared to an electronic file that, once digitally tucked away, can become “out of sight, out of mind.”…
