Resources to help your business run smarter
Google Apps to manage your email
This free application enables business email to be accessed through a web-based system, which syncs between smart phones and computers. It also provides effective spam filters and offers calendar and contact sharing between employees.
For your electronic mailouts
Campaign Monitor manages your email promotions and newsletters. It has no subscription fees or contracts, just a pay-per-campaign charge. It manages email lists allowing users to subscribe and unsubscribe as well as having detailed analytics, including campaign-related sales.
Online Shop
If you want something small and you don’t want another monthly expense, Bigcartel only charges a small per cent when you sell something. Who uses Big Cartel? Thousands of clothing designers, bands, record labels, jewelry makers, crafters, and other artists.
If you want a full featured online shop – there’s very little you can’t do with Shopify. They have a scaled pricing structure, most people would spend between $30 and $100 a month.
File-Sharing and Backup
Dropbox allows you to store data via the internet in military-grade encrypted security. This can then be used to share files between staff, provide instantly updated files synced to your laptop, smart phone and desktop, and provides an instantaneous online backup – all in the background so you don’t even know it’s happening.
Videos on Your Website
This is the best way to deliver video that’s clean and clear and embedded into your website. It’s cleaner and more professional than YouTube and it’s much higher quality.
