Seven Ways to Make Your Small Business Look More Professional
National Federation of Independent Busines:
The fact is a small company needs to appear just as professional as a larger company, even if run out of a home office with no employees and operating on a shoestring budget. The following tips can help you appear more professional, without breaking the bank:
- Set up a first-class voicemail system.
- Get a toll-free number.
- Send all mail on custom-designed letterhead in a designed envelope.
- Similarly, your business card should be world class.
- Write articles for trade publications.
- Send out press releases whenever warranted.
- Dress the part.

A nice thing about it, it doesn’t have to cost much to implement. With inexpensive software like MS Publisher, printing from companies like 48hourprint.com, and voicemail from companies such as Accessline Communications (nice COSTCO discount), it really is affordable to establish a professional appearance.

Another thing to remember. Use your real name. Too many people try to hide behind the business name.
Use your name on your website, mailings and anything else you do.
Brand yourself.
