5 Reasons That Could Mean Your Office Carpets Need Cleaning More Frequently

Posted on

Offices come in all sizes and types, and the number of people who will work or pass through them each day will differ too, but one thing many of them have in common is their need for office carpet cleaning if what is on the floor is carpet rather than tiles.

For those offices that have carpets, we assume that the management of that business has in place some process for the carpets to be cleaned.

This could be internal cleaning staff, but the best option by far is to hire a professional carpet cleaning company to care for the carpets with regular expert cleaning.

In many cases, there will be an agreement in place as to how often the various carpet cleaning processes take place. Vacuuming could be done daily, whereas deep cleaning, such as shampooing, takes place every two weeks or monthly.

Team Building Ideas That Do Not Require A Lot Of Time

Team Building Ideas That Do Not Require A Lot Of Time

One of the most common reasons why those who lead teams do not implement any team-building ideas is that they do not have enough time.

This is truly unfortunate and a missed opportunity to create teams that are bonded and will go the extra mile for their teammates, regardless of the scenario.

The question must be that if you are a team leader who does not believe they have the time for team building, how much of an advantage is that giving to your competitors whose team leaders, managers, and coaches have managed to found the time for building their teams?

The answer to that is a huge advantage, but it need not be that way.

Simple Tactics To Ensure Patients Give Your Dental Practice Positive Reviews Online

Posted on

It does not take much insight to know that a dentist getting negative reviews has a considerable disadvantage over a dentist with almost all positive reviews.

The reason for someone posting a negative review of a dental practice may not always relate to the dentist’s work. Still, it could relate to other matters, such as long appointment wait times or a lack of attentiveness from the dental receptionist.

Dentists know that their dental practice and its viability greatly depend on their skills and expertise and how these influence a patient’s opinion of them.

They also know that most of these opinions tend to appear online on websites such as Google in the form of reviews and testimonials, so ensuring your patients have a positive experience is essential.

How To Ensure You Choose The Correct Actuarial Service For Your Financial Needs

Posted on
7 Steps Of Investment Planning For Business Owners

Any time when you are assessing and planning your finances will often mean you turn to experts and professionals for advice and help, such as an accountant or tax advisor, and in many scenarios, you may also require actuarial services from a company such as actuary.com.au.

Not everyone is aware of or even understands what an actuary does, so here are the basics.

The simplest way to describe what an actuary does is to say they are a risk assessor. However, how they undertake that role is at a far higher level of detail and analysis than that of most risk assessments.

The reason for that is that the risks they evaluate relate mainly to financial risks, and therefore the accuracy of the risks they determine is extremely important.

How actuaries determine risks includes looking at data, researching past events, creating mathematical models to evaluate risks, and calling upon their knowledge and experience to produce their conclusions.

5 Advantages Of Advertising Your Business Using PPC Ads

One of the huge benefits that the internet has given businesses is a means to create a digital marketing campaign that does not require an advertising budget.

Although there may be costs associated with having a digital marketing agency create and implement such a campaign, thereafter the organic traffic which is created and visits their website, is bereft of any ad costs.

That model might suit lots of businesses, however, just as in the offline world, the online world also offers paid advertising opportunities to businesses.

A recent digital marketing survey showed that the amount spent on online paid advertising is almost the equivalent of 1 billion Australian dollars annually and that online paid ads account for over 60% of the total of all advertising expenditure

So, it is clear paid ads play a significant role in the digital marketing plans of businesses, and if your business is not currently using online pad ads, we appreciate there could be many reasons for that.

How Incentives Can Boost Customer Reviews Of Your Landscaping Business

Posted on
How-Incentives-Can-Boost-Customer-Reviews-Of-Your-Landscaping-Business

Before any landscaping business start panicking having read the title of this post, we must stress from the outset that what were are not talking about here is paying clients for reviews. That practice has long been frowned upon to the extent that many governments are considering making it illegal for a business to pay someone for a positive, and patently false, review of their products or services.

So, if not paying clients for reviews, what do we mean when say incentivising them? What we referring to is giving customers a reason or an encouragement to write the review by giving them an incentive, and this includes a financial one. Note, there is a huge difference between an incentive such as a special offer or promotion, and simply paying for reviews.

Customer Review Incentivisation

Many products and services are reviewed by people who are first given them for free, so this practice is well-founded, albeit it still has its critics. A prime example (no pun intended) is Amazon where there are so-called professional reviewers who write unbiased reviews on products that they are sent free of charge.

7 Online Tools And Services That Can Massively Improve Your Landscaping Business

For any landscape architect reading this, when the word “tools” get mentioned your first thought is doubtless of those tools which you use for the construction and maintenance of the landscaping designs you are responsible for. However, when it comes to running your landscaping business, we doubt a lawnmower, cement mixer or power drill will be what you need.

As important as those tools are, the sorts of tools we are referring to are the ones that allow landscaping business owners to more effectively, run, market, and manage their business. Here are seven such tools and services we believe will enhance any landscaping business plus specific examples of each type.

Project Management – Examples: Asana, Trello, Podio

No matter how big or how small any landscaping project is, it will be better run, and more likely to achieve all its objectives if it is managed using project management software. With this, everything you need to organise work, such as checklists, role allocation, deadlines, and relative contact details, for example, can all be accessed on a single platform.

Why Dentists Should Opt For Custom Web Design Versus A Website Template

Why Dentists Should Opt For Custom Web Design Versus A Website Template

Given that over two-thirds of their target audience is likely to be active users of the internet, it is abundantly clear that dentists should have a website to give them an online presence and to help promote their dental practice.

How to have a website built can differ, but not every way is suitable if a dental business wishes to attract new patients and be able to expand.

First, we advise dentists to not use the “Do-It-Yourself” approach. Dentists are experts at oral health not building websites, and just as you would never ask web designers to fill cavities or give dental implants, dentists are best served not building their own websites.

It might seem a cheaper option, but it will take longer, and the results will almost certainly be suboptimal.

Another option is to buy a template to either try to build a website or to ask a freelancer to build it.

Fire Protection Equipment You Should Have In A Commercial Property

If you own or manage any type of commercial property then much of the responsibility to ensure it is safe falls on your shoulders, which is why one of your tasks, if you have not already done so, will be to speak to your local fire services company.

They will be able to advise you on the regulations regarding fire safety and what the minimal requirements are with regards to fire protection equipment on the premises.

Of course, you always have the option to go above and beyond the minimum requirements and invest in additional fire safety and protection equipment.
