| Great sales come from good habits |
Question: Lately I am seeing several businesses close. What suggestions can you give me to incorporate in my business that will help improve sales?
Answer: Most often, the only thing that remains constant in your small business is change. You may have strong sales one month, and the next month your funds are going downhill. Sometimes a competitor's offer may tempt your customers to try something new.

| News releases still pack a punch if well-written |
Question: I'm always looking for cost-conscious ways to promote my small business. Are press releases an effective way to advertise?
Answer: Yes! Do not underestimate the power of the humble press release. Even in today's age of social media, blogs and RSS feeds, the press release remains the simplest yet most effective tool for generating publicity. Better yet, the resulting coverage costs nothing compared to the costs of paid advertising.
