Small Business Innovation Everyone can innovate. Integrating innovation in your business can help you save time and money and gives you the competitive edge to grow and adapt your business in the marketplace. Generally, innovation means changing or creating more effective services, products or ideas that will increase the likelihood of your business to succeed starting from efficient work, better productivity and performance. As business owners, you need to understand that applying innovation to your business can be simple. We you start to analyse and look for a solution to a current problem and determine how to make them better, you involve innovation in your business. Just like when you come up with better presentation and packaging of your services or product, find a supplier who will give you a better rate or try out a new marketing ideas, you are innovating. You don’t accept that it is not possible. You have to think that it just hasn’t been done yet. This means that your business will require new way of thinking and looking at beyond what they are presently confronted with. Innovation is looking at Failure is Good and Good Failure is Better. Making things better inside the business you develop the ability to access new information, have the capability to turn this information into knowledge, and have processes, procedures and resources to apply this knowledge to exploit the opportunities. Innovation has now become one of the key elements within a business. As competition for customers and resources become more and more intense the ability of a company to innovate is often more important than any other factor in its sustainability.

Tips For Magazine Advertising • A centerfold ad attracts about one-quarter more than a one-page ad. • A full-page ad attracts one-third more readers than a half-page ad. • Customers respond better to illustrations or photos showing the product in use rather than those that show the product it’s self. • Ads with people in them attract more attention than those without.

Conserving Energy “10 Tips To Save You On Your Electric Bill ” Written by Erlmarie P. Crase Todays businesses have a lot of overhead expenses to deal with. One of the biggest expense is the electricity. It costs money to cool down the place, to run lights, printers, computers and other electrical devices. For these reasons, businesses are encouraged to save and use less energy. Consider implementing the following ideas to your employees and into the daily operation of your business. 1. Unplug: Electronic appliances can consume almost as much as energy during the time they are in standby mode as they do during the day when they are actively being used. 2. Portable air conditioners are great way to save on cooling costs. 3. Turn off Computers. By simply switching your PC off can prevent greenhouse effect. 4. Switch Office Lighting to Fluorescent Light Bulbs. It can save up 75% and last ten time longer. 5. Use recycled paper 6. Invest in Green Power Strips. Purchase power strips that automatically turn off at night. 7. Make switch to Solar Energy. Solar energy Panels as an alternative energy source. 8. Buy office products such as computers, fax machines and photocopiers with an ENERGY STAR label, and make sure their ENERGY STAR power management feature is switched on 9. Consider energy use when you’re choosing equipment – portable computers use less energy than desktop models, and most ink jet printers use less energy per page than laser printers 10. Run equipment during off hours. Whenever possible, schedule tasks that consume a lot of energy for off-peak hours when per-kilowatt prices are generally lower. Not only will you save some money, you’ll also help ease demands on the power grid by performing these operations when fewer homes and businesses are drawing energy.
