Saving Business Expenses
Whether you work in an office or a retail shop premises, there are numerous ways as a business owner you can save money or cut costs. The most important rule to follow when cutting costs is – pay attention to detail. It’s the smaller things that add up, especially when there are many smaller things. Although staff are often considered the life blood of your business (and rightly so), you need good staff to operate your business efficiently when you are not around, but are they costing you money? I’m not talking about wages here either obviously – good staff deserve good pay, and you will get more back than you pay out!What you should pay attention to, is the other things that they are doing on a daily basis, that are peripheral to their main tasks. Anyone who works in an office, knows there is paper everywhere – as yes, you may have guessed it, but paper is expensive and not only that, wasting paper isn’t very green! Cut down on paper and make sure your staff do also and you will save a fortune. So how can you do this? One way is to make it ‘company policy’ not to print emails. Can documents or promotions be emailed to your customers? – you will be surprised how many customers prefer this anyway. What about the font size of your letters – reducing the font size will mean more information (including cross-selling) can be put on paper & using less of it! You will be surprised how these changes will save money over a year. How about you email customer invoices & receipts – email is free so you should take advantage of it instead of running up astronomical postage costs.
Finally, where do you buy your paper front? Many offices simply buy their paper from their stationary supplier and have used the same supplier for years. You should shop around – did you know that some supermarkets will literally cut the cost of your paper supplies by 50%? Paper…the hidden costs of your office…can you afford not to pay attention?
