Consider Safety When Starting A Concrete Block Business
February 28, 2010
Safety is not talked about much when conversing about starting your business, but when you are making concrete blocks for a living, safety is paramount, for several reasons.
First, for you and your employees, the familiarity and atmospheric nature of what you are doing must be carefully considered. One of the most damaging things in the world that you can breathe is cement dust. It acts as a sort of desiccate, acting to dry out anything that normally is moist, and most critically, anything that needs to stay moist. This gets very serious when talking about the inside of the nose, the eyes, and the mouth and throat. If a person were to just encounter it once during the day, that might be fine, but when it is a part of everything you do for the day, not so fine.
Take precautions to ensure that your workspace is well ventilated (for those of you working in your garage, be sure there is a door or window opposite your main garage door. This enables ventilation to a much larger degree than if you just open the large door). Use goggles and gloves, along with a dust mask at minimum, preferably a breathing apparatus. All the profit in the world is not worth trading for your ability to breathe.
The BOOM heard in small business direct marketing world
February 18, 2010
No, it’s not the marketing dinosaur some are saying. Oh, email and internet/website marketing are clearly contenders. But there are some very valid reasons to revisit small business direct marketing. Direct marketing puts you in the drivers seat in terms of who sees your messages. You are sending directly to chosen customers. You are more likely to hit the nail on the head, because you already know what they like and have invested in. You can tailor your small business direct marketing to those specifications.
Often in small business, valuable information, such as sales leads and customer contact information fall by the wayside. When you take the opportunity to use small business direct marketing to specifically target your prospects, you uncover the dust and reveal some really substantial profits.
