Home-based businesses that become successful may end up having to leave the home eventually for expansion. This can be a very hard decision to make for the owner. The idea of now spending more money to expand can be scary. One does not have many of the money sucking problems as the business owners of yesteryears. The really long leases, huge security deposits, renovations, and equipment costs are not that bad anymore. There are many options today for the home business owner to get affordable and flexible space with out costing too much and having to sign a long-term agreement. When you go to a business center you will get that office with a desk but also can expect to have Internet and many other perks. So what are some of the benefits of a business office center?

Over the years as I have attended trade shows, networking meetings Cheap Will Hernandez Jersey , chamber events and more; I have noticed a few things about the successful and the not so successful. First of all, do you have a business card?
If you belong to a large corporation, you were probably issued business cards as a matter of course, almost as if it was a company perk. If you are in a small or home-based business Cheap Darian Thompson Jersey , chances are you, personally, made the effort to get business cards, which entailed design Cheap Wayne Gallman Jersey , print and distribution. So if you went to all of the trouble of acquiring them, you should use them to your advantage. Here are a few tried and true rules for marketing with your card.
1. Never leave home without the cards. I have stopped for coffee already and had someone ask me for a card because they saw my car sign as I pulled into the local coffee shop lot. If you want people to discredit you as a businessperson, all you have to do is say "Oh sorry I forgot my cards today." I have even been to trade shows and fellow exhibitors were walking around without cards. You have not only lost an immediate opportunity to market your business, but you look like an amateur who doesn't deserve the business.
2. Is the information correct? The reality is that sometimes we change our contact information. If you know that there will be changes in the near future Cheap Landon Collins Jersey , then limit the number of cards you have printed. Do not, scribble out and hand write information on your card. Back to "Can anyone say amateur?" I said that to someone once and his reply was, "yes but business cards are expensive." That says two things to me: 1) he didn't shop around for a good price and 2) AMATEUR! The idea is to attract business not scare it away.
3. Does the card say what you want it to say? What message are you trying to get across? When designing a business card, think about the placement of information on the card. Is the key information in a prominent place on the card? Does the design work with the rest of your company image? Your business card should be an extension of your company just like your logo Cheap Ereck Flowers Jersey , stationery, checks, signage, website and more. They should all get across the same message and design.
4. Can prospective clients contact you easily with the information provided on your card? This is a big one!
Is your website up to date? Do you check your email at least once a day? (and respond!) Is your email address professional (not mycompany@ ) Is your voice mail message clear Cheap Sterling Shepard Jersey , concise and professional?
