| Questions for owners of food/beverage establishments Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:57 AM PDT Have you used services like Groupon in order to market your business/get new customers in the door? If so, how has your experience been? If not, any particular reasons? I've heard that a complaint of some services like Groupon is that small business owners typically make a loss on the deals, and often the people coming in for Groupon deals don't come back without another coupon/discount - but I'm not sure how true this is. Thanks for your time [link] [comments]  |
| Employee Moonlighting - Advice Needed Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:23 AM PDT It just came to my attention, that one of our senior sales managers, has been moonlighting and running an identical business on his days off and on the weekends. This particular employee has obtained our company's Customer List and is soliciting them the exact same products that our company is offering. The employee is still generating Sales for our company but putting an equal amount through their own company. According to our investigations, it has been going on for about a year. Should this be grounds for termination or is it suggested to work with the employee as they are still one of the top Sales Reps within the organization. [link] [comments]  |
| Can someone help me? I made a post and no one answered Posted: 02 Oct 2020 03:52 AM PDT I made a post a few days ago about where to start with my business and no one replied :( . I want to sell homemade hamster treats, houses, chews etc online. I have no idea where to start. I'm in Washington state. Please someone help me get started! Edit: to clarify I just need to know where to start legally. Also I want an Etsy shop, not a whole website. Link to my first post in the comments Edit #2 because apparently it wasn't clear. I'm not asking anyone to do any of this for me, I just want to know what licenses I need to get, do I need to send my products to get testing done, things like that- the legal side of things.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:09 PM PDT I made an LLC out of Nevada for liability purposes. I do not currently live in Nevada, and never plan too. My LLC is for e-commerce. How exactly can I open a bank account under these circumstances? My current residence is in another state and my business is for consulting online. The only way I know now is to make my residence the place of business. However, I will be moving overseas soon and would rather have an account just linked to Nevada. Is this possible? What recommendations are there for this? [link] [comments]  |
| Rental asset tracking system or spreadsheet assistance. Details in post. Posted: 01 Oct 2020 09:00 PM PDT Small Businness, small budget, can anyone recommend a good inventory management system, for tracking items with scanning? We are constantly shifting around assets (rent to customers) and are getting to the point where its hard to back track where equipment is when pick-up is needed. Any tips for a small company budget?

I was wondering which state is the best one to register it in, in terms of tax, flat yearly fees etc. I currently live in Arizona. I saw Portland has a relatively low tax.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 08:57 PM PDT We developed a hotel booking platform named #HalloGuest. It allows guests to browse hotels and their services. We have integrated the hotel management system API to HalloGuest so that whenever a guest is staying he/she can browse the hotel services and also request any available services. The hotel front desk portal allows/denies the request and also processes the request to the respective department of the hotel using their hotel management portal.

| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 08:05 PM PDT Looking for recommendations on some books/training on learning to run a business. My backstory, I'm fourth generation and have worked in business 7 years now. My father has began to step away and I am now at the helm. I know and understand our business well but I often feel like I have no clue how to "run the businesss" if that makes any sense. We are a manufacturer with 60 employees and have a good experienced management team, just looking for any tips of anyone who may have gone through a similar situation. [link] [comments]  |
| Best email client for small businesses? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:27 PM PDT Hi, Not sure if this is the right subreddit, however it does relate to small business. I own a business, about 8-10 employees now. All of which use Spark iOS email app. Sadly, spark isn't available on Windows yet, which is what we need. It has everything we want built in. Does anyone know any email clients for iOS and Windows that are like spark? [link] [comments]  |
| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 07:19 PM PDT Hi guys, I am trying to sell some Excel based software (stock management, POS software) for startups through my website. The paid version of my software I would probably like it to be done by selling it on some store (maybe etsy? ) and provide the link from my website to the store. I have no idea if this is the way forward. I started up the website recently and the traffic flow is very low at this moment. Any advice on a store I could use to do these sort of transactions, or help create a payment gateway , or any advice at all would be really helpful. Thanks [link] [comments]  |
| Strategies for decreasing customer acquisition costs and increasing average value of a customer Posted: 01 Oct 2020 03:16 PM PDT Hi all. So after running the numbers for the past six months, my business has an average customer value of about $10 (we sell small, consumable, niche industrial products) and an average cost to acquire a customer of around $26 dollars. Our conversion rates are good, around 2-3% and I feel like we're doing well with our marketing so far; by all accounts, our traffic is pretty qualified. Right now we're still seeing an upward trend but I'd love for our gross monthly revenue to show a bit more exponential growth. As such, I was wondering what strategies some of you folks may have had for increasing your average customer values while decreasing the cost to acquire a customer. I'd love to stretch our marketing dollars as far as they can go before expanding budgets. So if anyone has any strategies you've had success with and would like to share, please feel free. Thanks in advance again all! [link] [comments]  |
| Has anyone obtained a seller's license without having an SSN or ITIN? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 06:43 PM PDT Specifically for California, but would be interested in if it was done in another state. The online application stops me at this step. [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Oct 2020 05:07 PM PDT So I'm trying to gain money by selling pins however I have 0 materials for it and no way of getting the materials as I'm financially dependant on my family and don't have the money for the supplies. I'm currently unable to get a job and earn the money so I'm wondering where to get the finding. I need about $400 for all the supplies, this includes a printer and ink which takes up most of the money. Would I go to GoFundMe or KickStarter or a different site. Or am I plum out of luck for this? I do a lot of art and I can send links however most of its original stuff while I plan on selling fan work: pokemon, demon slayer, bnha, popular anime crap. If this isn't the right place could you point me where the bets place would be? [link] [comments]  |
| Do you have a business that could provide services or favors for a Murder Mystery Party? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 04:15 PM PDT Hello! I own a Murder Mystery Party Company where clients can have immersive, at-home murder mystery parties either in-person or via a video platform (like Zoom). In a little under two years, I've generated over 2000 sales, and my party hosts constantly ask me for tips and tricks on how to plan their parties. Since I do this globally, I don't have a way to give suggestions to every customer (yet) but it made me think that it would be useful to everyone if I built a website where my customers could enter in their zip code and see local small business owners who could help them with their parties. The website is almost ready to go and now I need to build my data base of small businesses to refer my customers to! This is a big project (obviously) and I thought maybe Reddit could help! I'm searching for people who have businesses in any of the following:
-And also anyone who may provide any sort of goods that could be used as favors or decorations at a Murder Mystery Party! My customers are extremely creative and I'm always so impressed by what they do and who they hire to make their parties look amazing. I'm passionate about helping small business owners as well and would love to build a community that benefits everyone. If any of this sounds interesting to you, I've created a survey to gather information and feedback! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/TR73MCG Thank you! [link] [comments]  |
| Does anyone have experience with HIPPA compliant email encryption? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 12:15 PM PDT So our business provides services for individuals and we deal a lot in protected health information. We currently run our email/data through Microsoft 365. I know they have options for encryption but it seems very complicated and costly. If anyone has experience in achieving HIPPA compliant email via a 3rd party of Office 365 please share your knowledge. It would be greatly appreciated!! [link] [comments]  |
| Need software to track costs, sales, and inventory Posted: 01 Oct 2020 11:55 AM PDT I'm starting up a small business selling handmade wood products (pens, rings, bowls, etc.), and I am looking for some basic software to track my costs, sales, and inventory. I have a stockpile of wood, pen kits, ring cores, and other items associated with producing the items, and I need a way to track that. I also need to track the purchase of materials and "support" items (e.g., labels, business cards, sand paper, tools, etc.). It would also be great if I could convert raw stock to finished product within the software. For example, if I use an oak pen blank and a fountain pen kit to make a pen, I'd like to be able to use the software to remove the blank and kit when I add the pen. Finally, I need a way to track sales and to update inventory accordingly. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I've been messing around with Google sheets, and it's just too complicated. I can track any one thing just fine, but trying to integrate them is a nightmare. [link] [comments]  |
| Changing from Paychex to Gusto & what to do about company 401K plan Posted: 01 Oct 2020 11:05 AM PDT I use Paychex as a payroll provider and have not had employees since 2018. I have a company 401K within Paychex where I have been the only participant (employee/owner) I am looking to change to Gusto as a payroll provider overall, Paychex interface is outdated and their fees are eating $. We will be hiring new employees again within 1 month. What should I do with the company 401K plan and/or my 401K funds? They aren't much my funds are only 2K. What has been your experience closing Paychex and changing to Gusto? [link] [comments]  |
| How should I price my app development? Posted: 01 Oct 2020 02:32 PM PDT I have a chance to create a barebones iOS application with an AWS backend. Probably 6-7 relatively simple screens. I do however need to stitch together from scratch the backend and all the data structures of the application. The app will include authentication, data querying, saving, and barcode scanning. There will be an internal app side and client facing side displaying the data. It will probably take me about 1-2 months. The company I would be contracted with is located in California. How much should I charge? Thank you, this is my first time! [link] [comments]  |
