Running a business in 2015 is tough, there’s no doubt about that. It won’t get any easier in 2016 either. Part of the reason for this is that the world is becoming more connected than ever. That means that when you run a business, you’re not just competing with the company down the road. You’re up against manufacturers in China or online businesses in England. It’s now a world market and to compete there are a few things that you must do. You must keep your business running efficiently and you have to find ways to save money. Luckily, we think that the latest tech provides the answer for both. If you’re not using these clever tech concepts to boost your business, you’re missing out on a huge opportunity.
Business Addresses
A lot of businesses are now being run entirely from the comfort of a person’s home. It makes sense because you get all the profit without having to pay rent. As well as this you can register your home as your business address. But, some business owners don’t want that for good reason. Firstly, if you register your home as a business address it means your clients can track you down to where you live. That means you are giving away some of your privacy. As well as this, your clients will know that you are working from home, and this doesn’t make a company look at all successful. A clever tech solution is offered by Physical Address. They provide you with an address that you can use for your business to receive mail. They’ll then add the mail you receive to a cloud software so that you can view it. Your clients will think this is your business address, and you will have access instantly to whatever you receive.
Call Handling
Call handling used to mean hiring a secretary or if you were engaging in telemarketing, a number of callers. That’s not the case anymore. Now if you want to you can buy a call handling software. This is an automated response service for people that call your business. You will only have to deal with a call if they need to speak to you or an employee. So, you won’t even be outsourcing the problem of call handling. It will be dealt with completely using advanced technology. Are you worried about disgruntled customers, annoyed that they are receiving no customer support? The latest automatic call handling software is designed to act and sound human. Most customers can’t tell the difference.
AR Marketing
Finally, augmented reality is a way to make your campaign more interesting. If you speak to an AR designer, they will add codes to your products or marketing materials. When viewing these through a phone, the code transforms into whatever you like. It could be an ad for your business or a fun image. The only thing limiting the possibilities here is your imagination. As the market becomes more competitive, it’s increasingly important to make your business stands out. AR marketing will certainly do that.
