In today’s economy many consumers buy products without seeing them first.  E-commerce has changed the buying and selling experience in almost every way.  The days of small local shops are in the past, the days of large mega stores are winding down, and the era of online ordering continues to expand.  It is easy to make purchasing mistakes when ordering from online retailers, but there are a few simple steps you can take to ensure you make a wise purchasing decision.

Slow Down

When we make a pu...

With record-breaking temperatures across the country, it is hard to believe that summer is winding down and coming to an end.  Across the United States summer camps are ending and families are preparing for the fall and the fear of most American children is being realized.  School is starting soon.  However, worrying about the start of classes is also shared by many parents.  Figuring out a fall school schedule is difficult and school supplies are expensive.  Inflation rates have been declining ...

Summer is here, and with it comes vacation season.  Most people have already taken a trip and some families are even planning a second one.  Vacations provide us a chance to relax and recover from the stresses of normal life, but poor planning can often lead to our return being far more unpleasant than it needs to be.

 Rushing Out the Door

All of us have rushed out of the office at some point in our lives.  We are in a hurry to get somewhere or maybe we are just in a hurry to shrink our person...

It is important to pay attention to what is being talked about in the news.  What is happening in the government, our local communities, in the economy, and state legislation does impact the decisions we make.  However, it is also equally important to not let headlines be too big of a factor in making business decisions.  Worrying about the actions of organizations and people beyond our control can sometimes lead us to make poor choices.  Every company and individual must find the perfect balanc...

There is a delicate balance between price and quality.  The goal of every consumer is to get the most bang for the buck when making a purchase.  However, there is a point where a deal is too good to be true.  All products are not made the same and paying more money for a longer-lasting product often ends up being the best value.  

Setting a Budget

Before setting a budget, it is important to know what the desired product is going to be used for.  A corporate headquarters has a different purp...

How do you find the ideal desk?  Does a perfect product exist?  Individual users have different preferences and different expectations.  It is difficult for one product to fulfill the needs of the entire business community.  What a desk is used for and how often it is used should have a drastic impact on a workstations design.  

Dimensions

To start designing a perfect workstation, size is a consideration.  Where the desk is going and how much square footage is in a room should have a direct...

How we live our lives and how we spend money is a clear reflection of our own personal preferences and styles.  When it comes to inclination there is no right or wrong, there is no good or bad, there is only personal taste.  This rule applies to our workspaces.  Some of us prefer simple and basic setups, while others want all the fancy bells and whistles.  The only things that matter when it comes to a workspace is if you are comfortable and does the space function efficiently?

Basic and Bud...

Everyone wants to have nice things.  We pride ourselves on hard work and the possessions we buy with the money we earn are a reflection of us.  This rule is evident in the business world as well. We want our offices and places of business to reflect positively on our companies.  Guests make impressions based on the furniture and décor we have as well as the cleanliness of our work areas.  No one wants to do business with a company that appears disorganized and unprofessional.  The effort behind ...

If you are thinking that it is hard to believe that 2023 is already here, you are not alone.  Now that holiday season is over and we have said our farewells to 2022, it is time to return to our usual routine.  Winter breaks, short holiday work weeks, and family gatherings are mostly behind us.  The only thing left to do is remember the past fondly and to set new goals for a new year. 

Setting Goals

Now that December has arrived, we all have one thought on our mind, Christmas.  The season of giving is in full swing, and we are spending our free time and weekends shopping.  We are attempting to get our family, friends, and coworkers quality gifts at low prices, and we are trying to show that there is love and thought behind our actions.  The last thing on our minds right now is one of the most important, tax season is on the horizon.  December is the end of the fiscal year for most of our bu...
