Small Business Tips for Saving Money

Breathe…tax time is almost over!

Saving money doesn’t require huge company change – get creative, be diligent, and start small. We can’t all be accountants, but we can all get into the mindset of an accountant.

You’d be horrified (and a little amused) if you saw our late night company group texts announcing the latest target coupon deal – but you’d also be surprised at how easy it is to save. Scrappy startups need this kind of collective creativity and teamwork to help each-other, and the company, to be successful.

Take the time to reach out to credible publications, media outlets and blogs. When it comes to driving the right kind of traffic to your website, this method is gold. Reaching out to 100 people personally recommended by a publication is far more effective than 1000 people via an online ad.

An outsourced service often costs more hourly, but they work as-needed and you benefit from the collective knowledge of a group, instead of an individual.
