Credit cards are safer than debit cards when you are shopping on line because the transaction is backed by your bank. If you use Pay Pal then have your credit card as the back up not your bank account.
If you operate an on line store, make sure you offer credit card payments as an option and promote the safety of using credit cards. Offering credit card processing is a positive.
Be well and prosper,

When a business is not achieving it’s potential, there always is an issue with leadership. This does not mean when there is a weakness, the person needs to be replaced. Most often, following a disciplined management system will result in all areas of the company doing their part to help the business achieve performance goals. Occasionally, someone is locked into the “way we used to do it” and will need to move on. However that is the exception rather that the rule.
People love knowing what is expected of them expecially when progress is objectively reviewed frequently. Frequently usually means weekly.

The CEO of one of my clients purchased a new laptop and needed to install the typical Office Suite of software. I suggested testing Open Office and he agreed. There are two options at www.openoffice.org one is to download the programs from the site for free or request a CD from one of the retailers listed at the site for $7.00. After looking at the download instructions and the estimated time for the download, we opted for the CD. It arrived in 2 days.
I was actually very surprised to see how well Word and Excel worked with this software. I am thinking Microsoft should be evaluating its business model considering Open Office is free.

A recent survey published in USA Today revealed the majority of companies surveyed did not raise selling prices even though their cost doing business increased as a result of higher oil and labor costs. Most people reading this article condemn the companies who were able to increase their prices.
Businesses formed to make a profit and deliver a return on investment to those who take the risks of venturing a business start up or purchase. If costs are rising and your profits are shrinking then mark you calendar as to the day you will be out of business.
Success Tip: Develop close customer relationships by over delivering to your customer. Most will continue to be loyal when you raise prices. Those who are not are probably ones you should have fired long ago. Even if you are able to raise prices developing a lean and efficient business will help you maintain an competitive advantage. Note: few companies ever maintain the discipline to sustain a competitive advantage as a result of efficiency. “Increase Profits by 30 % or More in 90 Days or Less” free at www.stevepohlit.com is the basic roadmap for how to maximize profits and it works in times of rising costs like we are experiencing now.
