Things You'll Need:
- Business Cards
- Business Phone
- PO Box
-
Step 1
Business cards are a must for every business and can be expensive depending on where you purchase them. Of course, there are generally alternatives to spending a lot of money.
You can create your own card or have a web developer design it for you. If funds are limited, I would suggest using a site like vistaprints. They will be able to create your look or brand for a reasonable amount of money and if money is a concern, they have a large selection of freebies.
However, be careful with the freebies. You get what you pay for. However, Vistaprints is a great and reliable company. You should be fine using their free products. But just know, the more money you spend, the better your product will look. -
Step 2
I suggest an 800, 866, 877 toll free number for your new business. You might say, have you lost your mind! That's going to be expensive, well it doesn't have to cost much at all. Our company pays about $119.00 a year for our personalized toll free number. Check them out at RingCentral.com
This is an excellent tool for your business. It will give your company the appearance of being larger than you really. The site I'm going to reccommend will have many features that will cause people to view you as one of the big boys or girls! Again, remember, the more money you spend the more features and perks you will receive. However, you don't need a lot of perks to start a business. -
Step 3
If you are starting a home-based business, it is not a good idea to use your home address. So have your team do research to see what it would cost to get a PO box. Depending on your business, have the team decide what size box would be suitable for your companys' needs.
