Tips to save money in your business


 


The day to day company routine can make us forget a very important aspect: expenses. Without realizing it, small incidental expenses accumulate that at the end of the year can surmount into an extra cost that we can easily reduce, and all this without needing to make cuts, just by optimizing our resources.

Tips to save money in your business

With a few simple tricks we can reduce these small expenses.

Use Skype or Google Hangouts

As we all know, these are very useful communication platforms that allow us to make calls and video conferences for free. This way, taking advantage of these features we can save on our telephone bills without hardly realizing it.

Book travel in advance

There are many trips for work such as exhibitions, fairs or conferences that can be planned with enough time, thus avoiding paying almost twice the price for those transfers.

Review invoices

Keeping an exhaustive control of all those fixed expenses that occur in the office, will allow us to detect if we are paying more for certain services (electricity, water, Internet, telephone), or if we must change to other rates that are more appropriate to our daily needs.

Reduce document printing

This change in daily habits will not only allow us to save economically, but we will also be contributing to improve our planet and avoid an excessive waste of paper and ink.

Use social networks

Nowadays, they have become an indispensable tool to reach our clients or potential clients with the advantages and benefits that our company can offer them, in a much more direct and simple way. Networks also allow us to get in touch with the customer and solve issues in a faster way by investing less time and money.

Telecommuting

With all the connection tools we have at our disposal, it is possible to assess whether many of the current jobs can be done outside the office, from home, which would be a double advantage, both for the employer that would save on costs, and for the worker who could carry out his work in a more flexible way, increasing his productivity and performance.

All these processes can be carried out through communication and management applications that connect all team members.

Management software

Regardless of the company, the integration of a management software is a great step forward in the development of daily work, and a great help for saving by reducing the expenses of the company. The software would allow to integrate all the processes, at the same time that it unifies and facilitates the access to the most relevant information so that the decision making is more clear and effective.

Reflections on digitization

Image
  Digit, according to the first meaning, is relative to the fingers. The second definition refers to the digit numbers. Interesting dichotomy. The fingers, the pure expression of touching and physical contact versus digit numbers, the minimum expression of programming languages. We are in the  digital revolution , the digital era, the digital signature, digital printing, digitalization of companies, digital media, the digital thermometer … Everything is digital and it’s here to stay and enhance our working and social life. Well, this dichotomy occurs in everything. Digital friends we text via our mobile phone, sending digital loved ones emoticons and digital clients are the ones we communicate with without the need for paper documents working towards the paperless office. All this, taking into account that, in this digital world, everything is becoming virtual and the need to embrace is becoming a prerequisite to moving your business forward.
