Will You Add? - Is Good Neighborliness Good Business?
Do You Have a Disaster/Recovery Plan?
Do You Have a Disaster/Recovery Plan?With the recent onslaught of ice storms and flooding happening all over the US and Canada, as well as the hurricanes that ripped through Florida and the south earlier this year, many people are finding themselves faced with tremendous losses regarding both their homes and their offices. Most people have some type of homeowner's and business insurance to help rebuild and replace personal and business items, but what about your business records and critical files? If your office was destroyed today, would you be able to continue serving your clients and running your business, or would your business come to a complete halt? If you were sick or incapacitated, would anyone else know where to find important files on your computer? Is everything documented so someone could fill in for you until you were able to resume working?Terence Kierans, Principal, Cyberspace Virtual Services, Western Australia http://www.virtualservice

CCTV - What Are The Advantages? How Do I Decide, What I Need?
Closed circuit TV systems have been available for many years, they have also undergone some almost miraculous transformations in recent years. What used to be very expensive, cumbersome and hard to configure systems are now very reasonable, easy to configure , and easy to maintain, and they provide much more versatility and usefulness than just a few years ago.When choosing system components the first decision you need to make is what are you using it for. The primary uses for CCTV systems are surveillance, traffic control, theft, shoplifting, employee theft, and/or robbery deterrence, and identification. Surveillance and traffic control probably do not require color cameras, black & white may actually provide better resolution. However theft, shoplifting and/or robbery deterrence and identification may require color cameras, if there is an arrest and prosecution a court will require color to make positive identification, on a black & white recording a red sweat

How To Start A Convenience Store
Nearly every corner in the country has some sort of smaller convenience store. These stores help to fill the gaps in a shopping trip or aid travelers who are on their way to other locations. However, starting convenience stores requires knowledge of what people need and where they might need it.The term convenience store denotes the idea that you are providing convenience to your customers. And the first way that you can address this need is to be in a location that is convenient. You might want to survey your local vicinity to see where people might be aided by the placement of a store. Look at the local businesses as well as traffic patterns in the area. Where are most people driving and where might you be able to place your business. And while you want to be in the most popular areas, realize that these areas can also be troublesome in terms of traffic and parking. Think of your business as though you were visiting it – where would you actually stop?<

Automating Your Customer Support
My regular readers will know that one of the things I highly recommend doing with any online business is automating as many of your day to day tasks as possible.From a personal point of view, one of the tasks that takes up a lot of my time is answering emails. It isn't just answering email that eats up the hours - sorting through and deleting spam and junk mail absorbs a lot of time too. In the good old days, I used to get a couple of spam emails a day. Now it is closer to 1000 a day!In fact, when you look at it, email isn't always the best form of online communication. Not only is there the junk mail issue to contend with but also the fact that email is not 100% reliable. Emails do 'go missing' far more regularly than you might expect. Often this is simply because the recipients email software has decided that a particular email is junk and has transferred it directly to the 'Delete' folder. Other times it may be because the recipients ISP has deci

Does Buying a Franchise Guarantee Success?
Many budding entrepreneurs are under the impression that buying a franchise is a guarantee for success. They feel that the franchise fee that is paid up-front ensures them a proven business methodology and wealth. This couldn’t be farther from the truth!It is difficult to quantify franchise failures because in many instances to avoid having a franchise file for chapter 11 or bankruptcy, a franchisor will buy the business back or assume its operations. In fact, most franchise agreements allow a franchisor to buy back or assume operational control of a floundering franchise. In some cases the franchisee will loose their entire investment.Some studies indicate that the percentage of failure in the franchise industry may be no different than situations where individual have started their own business. Even the large franchisors such as McDonalds have bought back or assumed control of floundering franchise operations.It may also be worth noting th
