How secure are your checks? You as the consumer have the option of giving your Peachtree checks extra security, one option you can do is the Void Pantograph.
What is Void Pantograph? It is that hidden message on your checks that will show up when someone tries to copy or scan the check so it is not usable in that way. You can have it say several things such as “Void” or “Unauthorized Use” . You can also have that on your logos and images as well.
Since its tax time, why not upgrade your accounting programs
As we all know, its tax time. Why not upgrade your accounting program? Its a good idea, so that way you’ll be up to date on the tax laws, payroll laws and etc. If you do an upgrade, you may get extra features that can be an asset to your company. Keeping that in mind, dont forget to check and see if you need any peachtree business checks.
I had a customer to call and needed 2500 checks to be shipped out 2nd day air. Well she paid via paypal but was by e-check. We couldn’t ship it because the check wasnt cleared from the bank yet. So…make sure you have all of your accounting supplies in stock. Doing that it wont cost you money. Very important to do the same thing with your software. If you don’t update it, and a new tax law has come about, it could cost your business money.
Have you ever been in a situation where you write a check and you realize its your last one, and you then remember that you have other checks to write as well? I have learned that its always best to order my cheap business checks when I’m on my last booklet of checks. So what way you have plenty of time to get them ordered, you approve them and then have then shipped to you.
Also try to make sure that what was on your last set of checks is one the next set, unless you are changing on a permanent base. You always want to have as much consistency as possible so your customers know what to look for. And make sure you when approving your checks you double check to make sure all your information is correct so that way its right the first time.
MICR stands for, Magnetic Ink Character Recognition, its a special type of ink used by banks on business checks and personal checks so they can read them with a special machine. This ink helps ensure that you are protected and that even if the numbers get smugged the machine can still read them because of the iron oxide in it.There are a few places that this ink is used, it is not on the whole check but just on certain places.
One place that MICR is used is on the account number which is located at the bottom of the check. Another place it can be used is on the banks name to be identified better. A third place is could be is on the amount (which is usually left empty when you purchase the check) to secure that the amount is right and can not be changed.
Is it easy to re order business checks? Yes it is easy to re order business checks. Just go back to the company you had placed the order with and fill in the information they request. Mostly they will ask for the previous order number, check color you want ( if you changed your mind), if you want the logo to be imprinted onto the order again and etc….
Re-ordering from the same company will save you time, and that can save you money. Most companies that you re-order from has your information already on file. So if you approve the proof, then you’ll get the order printed more than likely same business day and shipped. I’ve seen other companies that can take up to a week before any size order is actually printed.
Have you ever looked at all the choices of things you can do to your own personal Business Checks? One of the options that you can choose is the color of your checks.
There are so many to choose from, such as blue, red, green, burgundy, to teal, and even purple. Just keep in mind that when choosing the color, to pick one that will go best with your business color and logo. Also one that will be appealing to all of your clientele.
When deciding on how many Business Checks to purchase there are a few options to choose from. There is checks on the top and then there is checks in the middle and then a full page of checks.
While making that decision try to choose the amount that will best suit your business and record system. If you write a lot of checks then you should choose the full page of checks. But if you write checks but not many then you should choose either checks on top or middle, which ever you believe would best suit your business.
Sales slow? Use discounts. Everyone right now is feeling the pinch across the board. Ga unemployment just hit a new high. It has hit 10.5%. The economy is affecting everyone and not much we can do to help to get an increase in sales. Well…why not try to offer your customers discounts on certain items.
Offering discounts does help. When your prices are already low and very competitive against others, if you offer the discounts on certain price levels, or a combined purchased items, it will help you to make the sale, and the customer will buy it. You can try to offer the discounts for the week, day, or month. Offer discounts if they are buying a combination of business checks, envelopes and deposit tickets.
Dont wait till the last moment to order your business checks. It can cause alot of problems. What if the company couldn’t overnight them when the order came in that day? You’ll need to make sure you have time for the order to be processed. You’ll have to place the order. Fax a copy of your voided check. Wait on the proof, then approve the proof. Then the company has to print and ship your order.
Ordering cheap business checks is easy to do, but alot of work is involved to put it together. Its always a good idea not to wait for the last moment, but give your self time. If you rush to the end, you could have delayed payroll, bills being paid, and so much more.
What do you do when your business is slow?
What do you do when your business is slow and you have free time? As a good recommendations theirs alot of things you can do. Keeping your business clean helps to keep everything organized and customer friendly looking. If your working in the warehouse, clean up the floor and any excess papers that isnt needed. Process inventory and make sure the records are correct. Replacing light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs. Wipe down and get as much dust off of the computers/printers.
If your in the accounting office, see if you have enough Peachtree checks and envelopes. Reconcile your accounts and get everything updated. Paybills so you’ll have less to worry about. If its too slow for the business, and some of your employees have vacation time, allow them to use it if needed. Making the company look good will always help to make the business run efficiently in all areas.
