The Small Business News is our free monthly newsletter sent to all who have an interest in improving
the operation and profitability of a small business. The Small Business News began with the December 1999 issue and was originally titled, "e-retailer". Each month features a
link to a business article of the month from Tom Shay, as well as current
information to assist you in your business.
We
invite you to fill in the form below to add your name to the list
of our preferred website visitors. We will send to you on the first day of each month,
our free newsletter containing information about sales tips, tools
on our website, and books we have found that will help you improve your business. Mid-month, you will receive our Small Business Advisory; a short article with actionable business ideas.
As we have
archived all of the past issues of the Small Business News, we invite you to
look through them for information for your business.
Hopefully there are few small businesses that are operating with handwritten documents. Whether you have a point of sale (POS) system; Curstomer relationship management (CRM) system; or anything digital that helps you better operate your business, there remains a question.
Are you using everything that you bought? That is the focus of the February Small Business Advisory.
As small business ownerss we are sure to disagree on many aspects of business management and ownership. However there are two items that I will always insist on.
The first item for you as manager and owner of a business, you must inderstand financial information. You cannot leave it to an accountant.
The second item is you have to invest in educating your staff regarding their responsibilities within your business.
Article of the Month
Most every small business has inventory. It may be inventory used as a part of your services. It may be inventory for items used in your business. The article of the month shares ideas of how you should control the inventory. This is important because you do not want to run out of the necessary inventory, and you do not want too much of your money sitting in more inventory than you need.
Book of the Month
You cannot beat your competition unless you know what they are doing. The February book of the month is, The Everything Store, written by Brad Stone and Jeff Bezos.
