• 1. BarterIf you have a business you should be bartering goodsand services with other businesses. You should try totrade for something before you buy it. Barter dealsusually require little or no money.
• 2. NetworkTry networking your business with other businesses.You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cutdown on your marketing and advertising costs. Youmay also try bartering goods and services with them.
• 3. Wholesale/BulkYou'll save money buying your business supplies inbulk quantities. You could get a membership at awholesale warehouse or buy them through a mailorder wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are alwaysrunning out of.
• 4. Free StuffYou should try visiting the thousands of freebie siteson the internet before buying your business supplies.You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds,online business services etc.
• 5. Borrow/RentHave you ever purchased business equipment youonly needed for a small period of time? You couldhave just borrowed the equipment from someoneelse or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store.
• 6. Online/Offline AuctionsYou can find lower prices on business supplies andequipment at online and offline auctions. I'm notsaying all the time, but before you go pay retail forthese items try bidding on them first.
• 7. Plan AheadMake a list of business supplies or equipment you'llneed in the future. Keep an eye out for stores thathave big sales. Purchase the supplies when they goon sale before you need them.
• 8. Used StuffIf your business equipment and supplies don't needto be new, buy them used. You can find used itemsat yard and garage sales, used stores, used stufffor sale message boards and newsgroups etc.
• 9. NegotiateYou should always try negotiate a lower price forany business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurtto try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a carlot.
• 10. SearchYou can always be searching for new suppliers foryour business supplies and equipment. Look forsuppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don'tjust be satisfied with a few.Quote of the Day:"It is courage, courage, courage, that raises the blood of life to crimson splendor.
