You have a business telephone number, an e-mail address, a Web site and even a blog. So should you also have a Facebook profile? Probably YES. (read more)
Editorial: Whether this makes sense for your business or not probably really depends on your target market - who are your buyers and are they Facebook fanatics? I personally don't think this is the right approach for every business. I believe that Facebook should be in conjunction with other on-line and traditional advertising methods - blogs and adwords are also good tools to drive traffic to your business website.

Federal Budget 2009
Providing Assistance to Businesses in All Sectors to Invest in Computers & Software
Budget 2009 proposes a temporary 100-per-cent CCA rate for computer hardware and systems software acquired after January 27, 2009 and before February 1, 2011. In addition, the rule that restricts CCA deductions to one-half of the CCA write-off otherwise available in the first year will not apply to these computers.
This temporary measure will allow taxpayers to fully expense their investment in computers in one year. The measure will provide stimulus by assisting businesses to increase or accelerate investment in computers. It will also contribute to boosting Canada's productivity through the faster adoption of newer technology. Businesses in all sectors of the economy,including the service sector, will benefit from this incentive.

What does this mean to you? If you are needing to upgrade your existing computer hardware, infrastructure or software, this year is an ideal time from a tax incentive perspective.

Using Your POS Software to Identify Product Lines and Categories that are Killing Your Profits
By Jeff Haefner
One of the best ways to increase profits in your retail business is to analyze the profitability of your product lines (manufacturers) and categories using actual sales statistics.I can almost guarantee that every retailer has at least a couple product lines and categories that are killing their profits.
