Is it Time to Refresh Your Website?

It’s just a website…I don’t need to spend money on it, right?

WRONG!

It’s 2021 and your website is the number one way for you to establish credibility as a business. Additionally, it is an essential piece of your online presence and marketing strategy. 

Okay, but if I already have a website, I’m good. I can just let it be, right?

Sorry, wrong again.

Refreshing your website is ALWAYS a good idea. Here’s why:

Foiling Spammers - Best Email Practices

Foiling Spammers - Best Email Practices

How many times have you complained to someone that you did not receive the email they claim to have sent, only to discover it arrived in your junk mail folder? Or you have repeatedly requested information from someone, and they finally respond that their email filter thought it was spam? And how often have you opened your email only to find that same dreaded spam?

These situations can cause more problems than just being aggravating. They waste time and cause miscommunications and hard feelings. In short, they cause you to lose time and money. These are not things you want customers and clients to associate with you and your business.

Here are some things you may want to consider:

The Relief of Hosting Your Website Securely

The Relief of Hosting Your Website Securely

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused an extraordinary amount of upheaval in our lives. There have been layoffs and closures, shortages in supplies, and in many cases a disruption of the entire supply chain. That much uncertainty brings with it the unpleasant knowledge that your company can be a very fragile thing. One area that may have found your business, or another small business you know of, is cybercrime. Cybercrime has been shown to be up 600% due to the pandemic.

We’ve all heard about the big companies being hacked—it’s the little guys that don’t get the headlines. Zacaw recognizes that, as a small-to-medium-sized business, you need exactly what the big guys need. That's why we partnered with Netsonic, a veteran-owned, fully cloud-based company for security and reliability, to provide secure managed hosting services for the small business.

Learning How to Listen

Learning How to Listen

As a business owner, you’re probably used to taking charge and being a leader day after day. But sometimes, part of being a great leader is knowing when to stop and listen.

Your customers come to you because you are an expert in your field, and they have a problem that they believe you can solve. When you take the time to stop and really listen, you can build stronger relationships with your clients, build their trust in you and your company, and learn more about what they are struggling with so that you can position your company to become the best solution on the market.

Working from Home: Setting Boundaries - Physical and Psychological

Working from Home: Setting Boundaries - Physical and Psychological

On the surface, working from home sounds like a walk in the park. But, in reality, more than two-thirds of employees are experiencing burnout, according to a survey from Monster. This is likely due to a lack of time off, feelings of job insecurity and financial anxiety, childcare issues, and blurred lines between personal and professional time.

If you’re working from home and feel like your professional life is invading your personal life, and you lack a work-life balance, it’s time to set both physical and psychological boundaries.
