Today there are companies and tools (such as Movicanvas.com, Mobify.com or plugin for WordPress Wp-touch) working to translate our pages to your mobile version. The contents must be compatible with all mobile platforms, the page must be optimized to load quickly and is easy to navigate it through a small screen.

3. Personalize the message. Advertising campaigns for mobile devices are characterized by demanding greater customization, since messages are not as massive as in other media.

The 8 keys to efficient purchasing management in small business

management in small businessWhen managing purchases either a good or service for our company, the price is essential. However, this is not the only variable that we should support when making a decision. The time we spend on ordering, service and after-sales care received, are variables that can translate perfectly into euros and will increase or decrease our costs of purchase.

Given the above, to make an efficient management of our purchases, we must consider the following 8 key points:

Apply several offers: it is difficult to know whether we are buying it when we have one budget, surely we are letting out some savings. Not a matter of going crazy, two or three bids are sufficient to clarify our ideas.

Compare products equivalent: in the event that we are studying the offers are not identical products, we try to find a match. For example, if we are thinking of buying office cost savings recycled toner cartridges instead of the original mark of our laser printer, the number of copies you could print each serves as the unit of measurement equal (= price x copy).

Centralization of purchases: if we negotiate together our total requirements of a particular item or service, we will increase volume, we will reduce resources and increase our power to negotiate with our supplier.

: we will find products that independently do not have a large volume, but if we can find add considerable volumes. For example when buying office equipment for our company, we will need folders, pens, printer cartridges, paper. It makes no sense to distribute these small volumes of different suppliers. In these cases we are interested in analyzing the supply globally.

Digestion shopping: sometimes we have no choice but to distribute volumes between different supply companies on the strategic nature of the product or service within our organization or products with limited access. This also helps us stay hanging around in case the supplier has a problem (broken stock, financial difficulties, bankruptcy, …).
After sales service: in case we need assistance once we made ​​the purchase, for example, to inquire about the use of a machine or using the guarantee Who’s going to serve? How much will it cost? How long will it take us to solve the problem? We have to fix these situations in the purchase contract and always leave them in writing. Read the rest of this entry »
