Computers Save Time and Money...

In running a small business.

If you are serious about running a profitable home business and think you can do it with out a computer, think again. Oh yes, you may argue, people have done it for years, and are doing it now, but that doesn't mean it is the best way to do it. Not purchasing a personal computer for your business in many cases will not save you money, but may actually cost you both time and money. Let's look at what a personal computer and the right software can offer your business:

  • print business cards, letterhead & envelopes
  • print invoices, sales receipts
  • prepare business correspondence
  • process and track orders
  • Maintain your show schedules
  • prepare financial statements
  • accounting & bank reconciliation
  • inventory & order tracking
  • send and receive faxes
  • connect to the Internet
  • E-Mail - receive electronic mail
  • send electronic mail & publications
  • maintain & track customer lists
  • self publish - sales flyers, catalogs, etc.
  • print custom checks
  • database management.

Are you beginning to see how investing in a personal computer, printer and software can save you time and money. Customer information can be at your fingertips; print your own business cards, letter head, marketing flyers and catalog or show schedules; send a new product newsletter out to your customers; use e-mail as a marketing tool; or access your financial records in seconds. With your own computer, and a few start-up classes, (offered by most shops) tasks you spent money on before can be done by yourself, cheaper more efficiently and professionally.
