Never lose important messages again – Backup your E-mail

June 24, 2007 by Tricia

Have you ever turned on your computer and clicked on your email program only to have it crash because a virus was attached to one of the emails that you were collecting? Or perhaps for some reason your email program has crashed for no apparent reason?

It’s not fun is it? Especially if you end up losing some of your stored email or if your stored email gets corrupted!

It’s happened to me a few times and I happen to store a lot of important emails such as internet jobs I’ve completed and payments I’ve received in folders in my email program.

If you’ve had experiences like this you might be interested in a software program that will allow you to backup e-mail. Now you’ll never lose your stored email again!

What I really like about this program is that you can schedule e-mail backups. It would probably be a wise idea to schedule back ups once a week or even daily if you get a lot of important e-mail that you need to keep on hand.

Backup E-mail supports popular email applications such as Outlook Express and Microsoft outlook and you can even use the program to back up your internet explorer favorites too. Use the program to back up your address book, mail and news accounts, messages, blocked lists and store them in a single file that is compressed and can be password protected for security.

Check out the Backup E-Mail program at http://www.backup-email.com/ where you can download a trial version or purchase the full version for just $24.95.

Corporate casual wear – have your logo placed on garments

June 21, 2007 by Tricia

I was just visiting a site called Corporate Casuals and I think they’ve come up with a fantastic idea. Companies can have custom embroidered shirts and apparel made to order.

They can use this apparel either as part of a uniform that their employees would wear or as items to sell in the gift shop to their customers.

Just think. Perhaps you own a business where the employees can dress casually but you’d like them all to have a similar dress code? Get custom t-shirts made with your company logo embroidered on to the shirt.

If you have a popular business – a fun restaurant or trendy shop – you could get shirts, hats, active wear, outerwear, bags, items for kids and printed tees made up for your businesses gift shop.

There’s nothing better than having your employees or clients walking around wearing your companies logo. It’s free advertising.

The site is really easy to use. Upload your own design or logo, or browse through their catalog of embroidered designs and create your own on design on the spot. All you need to do after that is choose which types of garments that you’d like to order choosing quantity and sizes and then pay for your order.

It generally takes three to four days for your orders to be complete but they will be shipped out shortly after completion. You can order next day deliver but that would of course occur once the order was actually complete.

Visit Corporate Casuals if you are interested in having custom designed casual wear for your business or upcoming event.

As a former business owner myself I know the importance of being able to keep track of sales, leads and promotions. Unfortunately, back when I owned my business I didn’t have access to well developed lead management software.

If you run a business that depends on sales and leads you should consider purchasing customer relationship management software.

Their lead management software is easy to use and has a fast learning curve. Considering that the cost of implementing a new software program into the workplace has to take into account how long it takes your employees and sales team to learn to use the software efficiently I’m sure you’ll see that a program such as this with it’s fast learning curve will cut down training time and keep your sales team working and making sales.

AIMpromotes lead management software will help you improve sales.

Condos as investment properties

June 20, 2007 by Tricia

When Chris and I were first shopping around for a new home we mainly looked at houses, but we also looked at a few condos.

Having lived in an apartment for far too many years I really wasn’t all that interested in living in a condo so I’m happy that we opted to purchase the house that we currently live in.

I did get some ideas about purchasing a condo as an investment property though and if I ever get enough extra money saved up I might buy a condo that I’d use to rent out.

Coincidentally, while I was looking into condos as an investment I came across the concept of Condo Hotels. These are basically properties that function like hotels but if I have the concept down pat each condo is owned by a separate investor. The management company does all the work as far as taking bookings and serving the clients that book the condos.

Typically these type of condos are not rented out for just a day or two like a normal hotel room would be. No, they are rented for a week or a month at a time. Perhaps by a business person that’s in town doing business for a few months.

It’s an interesting idea. Certainly if you liked the idea of purchasing a condo as an investment property but didn’t want to do all the work of maintaining the condo and making sure that the condo was booked most of the year something like a condo hotel would be a great option.
