Home Businesses
Many people run their business from their homes and have a computer available but are unsure of how to use it or what it can do for them.
There are many areas where a computer can save you time and allow you to use that time more productively. Wrongly set up and/or wrongly used it will actually lose you time (lots of time) and be a source of unending frustration and annoyance.
Areas where much time can be saved with minimum effort and expenditure are accounting and document production such as invoices, correspondance, valuations, brochures etc. Email is becoming increasingly important as a means of communication between businesses and the web for advertising and finding out what your competitors are up to.
Customer databases and their use in correspondance can be suprisingly useful and time saving, it being possible to address a single letter/envelope or to select all customers in the Hinkley area who have used you in the last 6 months and have two left feet (if you are a shoe maker or dance instructor) to tell them of your latest promotion
