Did you know, that doing your inventory count will help to increase your customer service. How? Easy. When you have over 10,000 items, it can be easy to loose track of certain items you have if was broken, lost, misplaced and not know where it is. A customer places an order, and you cant find the product, but you have to order could delay the sale. Having your highest selling item in stock will always please your customers.
Versa Check refills is one of the business checks that is selling fast. Having an online store is just as hard to run compared to brick and mortar store. If your customer orders 2 Qty, and they need it overnight, then its that important to have it on hand. If you have to order it, wait on it, then ship it to the customer, but takes too long, then it will take too long, and you could loose that customer. So having it in stock is another way of showing customer service, and exceeding your customers expectations.
Do you want more customers and increase your customer conversions? A few things you can do. Increase your customer service. If your on the phone, have a great personality, and professionalism. Dont make your customers feel like that your in a hurry to get off the phone to get to the next customers. Treat everyone equality. If you have a huge quote and order to do. Help them out, especially if they are new customers. Do the quote, offer the price, set up the account for them, and help them with the check out process. Next time, show them how they can re-order the same thing easier. 
By offering your customers more options, great customer service, and a wide variety of payment opinions. Your customers will come back each and every time. Make sure you fulfill the order quickly and exceed their expectations. Do follow up’s with the customers to make sure everything is ok and their product/service is just what you wanted. IF you accept business checks for a payment and they are a re-peat customer. Don’t wait for the check to clear as it has before, and process their order quicker, as you know it will go through. So…little things can make a huge impact on your brand and company.
Its always a good idea to save money, and dont wait to the last moment to order checks, then have them to be shipped express. Shipping express will cost you more, especially if the company your ordering from is across the country. When starting a new business, always look for the best deal as possible. Express shipping will cost you more.
Buy more in quantity as it will save you more money for the order. 250 Qty can cost up to $.15 each each, where as 3000 can be $.08 per sheet/check. If you look in the right spot, you can always find a good deal online. Dont forget to order your envelopes along with the checks. Business checks
come in so many different styles, and colors.
Banks are really starting to make changes to their structure. I know in November, that Suntrust bank will start to charge a fee to use your debit card for personal account. Wells Fargo is testing something new as well starting next month. You’ll be charged a $3 fee per month for using your debit card. Some of the banks are even changing the account type you may have that would include more fees for debit card or account.
Want to save some money. Use more of your Quickbooks business checks to pay for everything you have. It can really start to save you money monthly and yearly with the bank. It will be hard to find an account that is free anymore with the changes that has been made with the bank changes. Best thing you could do is to move your accounts to a credit union. The only negative thing about that is this. You wont be able to get as much services. Those business that need merchant services or onsite check deposit will be just a few items you may not be able to get.
Most of the time. Peachtree Accounting Software uses the checks in the middle. But you can edit the program where you can use the Quickbooks business checks as well. Some people that are moving over from one accounting program, dont want to spend more to change the check type. If your moving from Quickbooks to peachtree. It can be easy to do with out a problem
.
Peachtree by default uses four different styles for the check in the middle. Quickbooks uses check on top, full page of checks, or 3 up personal checks. All of them can be customized to your business needs with or without lines and your business logo. The more you purchase, the more you can save in the long run. You can even use bulk blank checks and customize your own checks .
Its great to see that America is ordering more and more Flags for various holiday. Even though we just got through remembering those that perished 10 years ago today. I’m had received a payment from a customer, and i found out where he had ordered it from. I was very impressed to see that someone purchased bulk blank checks that had Flags on there and they are using it to support our country.
We need to support our own country more than what we have. We need to keep more business in the USA instead of having them overseas. Recently, we have lost two more companies that services our public and mostly families. A book store is scheduled here to close next month and a recently remodeled theater has closed due to the economy.
Are you starting out a new company? Looking to save money? Want to save expenses on business checks. Just look for on Google, yahoo or other search engines for “Cheap Checks” or “Cheap Business Checks“. You’ll come across companies that offer lower prices, but still good quality business checks. All business checks are Check 21 compliance and has the basic security features.
One way to save more is to purchase more in bulk. It will be cheaper with the more you purchase. Saving more with this economy is getting harder to find. Customer service with every sales goes along way. See how long it will take to have the order delivered. Most companies will receive the order that day, and can ship out the next day. Larger orders may have to be produced or cut when your dealing with paper.
Well its September now. We all have hoped for a good sales for August. With all of the transactions you have processed through quickbooks or peachtree. Its always a good thing to reconcile your check book to make sure your accounts are in order. You don’t want to make a mistake and have a NSF that could cause you allot of problems including payroll. 
If you do everything right out of your quickbooks. Then the balancing of your checkbook should be very easy and simple to do. Since its the beginning of the month. Dont forget to see if your low on business checks and deposit slips. If you wait till the last moment, you could spend alot of money on express shipping and we all need to keep our profits up.
If your looking to purchase a new check printing program. A few things you need to know about. All of the versacheck program for 2011 (7 different types) requires you to do a few things. Each of the programs may do some things a little different, but same overall. You must purchase their versacheck refills. Each box (250 Qty) has a validation code in the box. Its required to use, to print your personal/business checks with. The validation code is to make sure your in compliance with the check 21 laws. Just don’t forget to use MICR ink not the regular ink.
When you purchase the program and the checks. Before you’ll be able to use the program. You’ll have to validate your checking accountant before printing check. You’ll go to gvalidate.com and submit a check for $0.01, and then you’ll see the check come back through to your account. Place the check number into the program to VALIDATE and your able to use your program and the rest of the checks.
They have done that to help combat the check fraud that is occurring out there. Yes, their are other programs that is going to be doing the same thing soon. It may be a little bit of an inconvenience, but it will give you allot more security for your checking account.
Well its time of the year again. Hurricane season. Is bad weather coming to your area? What kind of back up plan do you have for your business? Make a back up copy of your business insurance, accounting program, and other important business documents that you may have. Back up your documents off site, put it on a CD and place it into the Safety deposit box, or any other means you have. 
With the hurricane season coming, its good to always have a back up plan. Take pictures of your business (inside and out), and when you come back and you see damage, take pictures of that damage as well. It will help speed up the claim process with your insurance company. Have generators ready to use to help clean up things and any other usage you may need. Have a back up plan for your small business by using hand written business checks as a backup if you cant get to your quickbooks business checks. Have that account as an emergency account till you can get the accounting going again. Place the receipts into a box that you can balance the books later on with.
Want to have accurate inventory? When you grab a product for a customer, and if you box it up. Scan the item when it comes into your inventory, and out as well. Using custom bar codes on your inventory will keep your inventory accurate and organized. Just like using your VersaCheck Refills business checks. Each business checks has a check number.
If you do inventory every 6 months, its always good to do a cycle count. A cycle count is a mini inventory on certain items or category. Its very useful on the most popular selling items, to make sure you have enough on hand. You can create your own labels using MS Word, word-pefect, or other programs that are available. You dont have to use the most expensive program to make it work. Using a scanner is really great to use. With your inventory, use it to keep track not only of the item, but Serial Number, and Model Number, in your accounting software.
It was bad reading about people in Lakewood, N.J was turned into Tent City. Theirs alot of people that has lost their homes and moved into a tent, that is in a park that is supported by Churches. They supply them with food and basic needs. Theirs a guy that was a landscaper, and now is homeless. With this hard economic time, we need to work together, since we are not getting help from our government and create jobs our selves.
If we can create jobs and not depend on our government. I really think it will make a huge change on things. We cant rely on congress to do anything, so we have our own rights for us to do it on our own. Money is getting hard to get, people are loosing everything. If we are UNITED WE STAND, we can get jobs going on our own. Help those that don’t have a job and assist them. For those that is having a hard time cutting corners with your bank, use your peachtree business checks
, or personal checks, or cash instead of debit card. It will save you money with bank fees as Suntrust will do away with the Free checking and go to everyday checking, with a $5 extra fee for using your debit card.
Having a backup plan for your business is always a must. Keep your business files on a Flash Drive, or back up to a DVD/CD-ROM and keep them in the safety deposit box. Back up the files offsite in case you cant get to the bank. Having a backup plan for your checking account is a great idea as well. What if your small business checking account got compromised by fraud. You can call and have the funds to be changed to a different account and makes it easy with a 2nd merchant account.
Some banks and merchant accounts offer 27/4 support, or M-F only. Keeping up with your accountant information with the last printed quickbooks business checks is a great idea. If your
the owner, keeping up with the business is a must. Have backup plan for the business in case something happens during/after an emergency.
