Press exposure can significantly impact a small
businesses' success. Press
releases are not just for big businesses; many
small businesses find press
releases to be an inexpensive way to gain exposure
and attention. It is not
uncommon for reporters from magazines, newspapers
or blogs to scan press
releases as a means to locate content.

2. Attract More Clients With A Brand Identity

You've probably heard that people buy products
and services from people
they know, like and trust. And, as I have done, you've
probably wondered
how you can foster more of this "Know-Like-Trust"
factor in your business
relationships. Pictures are tied to our emotions
in powerful ways, so
strategically using your logo and brand identity materials
(business cards,
letterhead, brochures, website, etc.) to enforce this connection
is a great
idea.
Use these factors to give you-and
your business-greater credibility and sales:

Summertime Tax Tips Available on IRS.gov and via E-Mail
To
help people with tax planning, the Internal Revenue Service is
publishing
Summertime Tax Tips to provide useful and concise
advice on topics that affect
millions of taxpayers. Many taxpayers
don’t think about their taxes
until the start of the filing season in
January. That can be a mistake. Steps
such as getting the proper
receipts from charities, adjusting your withholding
or pursuing a
tax strategy to increase your deductions are most effective
if
they are done well before year’s end.
A little
preparation now can save you time and money at tax time:
