Good afternoon everyone, and welcome to the Talk About Your Business Page. Before we get into the discussion, I have a quick question for you today. Have you thought about ways to reduce your expenses this summer? Here are four tips that you can do to help minimize costs.

Telecommute
Depending on the business industry you are in, you may not need to be in the office to handle day-to-day operations. Establish days where you offer staff members an opportunity to telecommute to reduce transportation costs, and you can reduce operations costs.  It is a win-win situation for everyone. Staff members get to change their scenery and foster even more productivity and the company saves some dollars.

 

Reduce Business Travels
Unless it is absolutely necessary, try to use video conferencing as much as possible. Programs such as Skype, BlueJeans, Zoom, MyMeeting can be excellent resources to do so. Not only are you helping the environment by this, but it also reduces traveling expenses as well.

 

Share Resources with Other Small Businesses
Another suggestion could be if you are surrounded by businesses with similar resources, try sharing your supplies and see if that helps reduce costs

 

.Energy-Saving Measures
We know that during summer, the days are longer and the night is shorter. You can use natural lighting to reduce the amount of electricity. Another thing would be to invest in double-panel windows. Although it may be pricey, it would be proven beneficial by reducing your bills in the long term.

 

What have you been doing thus far to reduce summer expenses? Perhaps you may have some tips of your own? Please don't hesitate to let us know below! Until then, continue to be safe and take care, my Community friends
