4 tips to cut costs in the workplace

By / Startups

In an effort to establish my business in a crowded niche market, I decided that marketing my business as a conservative and frugal organization would be beneficial at first. After all, losing sight of budgets and wasting resources that could be acquired easily elsewhere can drive an organization into the dirt. I needed to be efficient in my money management, and these four tips helped me become a successful and profitable business owner.

1.) Corporate gym memberships – There are many studies suggesting that employers who provide their workers with easy access to gym facilities benefit from increased productivity. The unfortunate side to paying for gym memberships is the price tag. It may be worthwhile to negotiate with a nearby gym and come to an agreement on a discounted rate.

2.) USPS rates – In an average month, businesses send a variety of materials to their clients and partners. Shipping rates can be excessive, especially if items weigh more than a few ounces. It’s cost-effective to use USPS flat-rate boxes when possible, as the discounted shipping prices can help businesses send content long distances for lower rates.

3.) Avoid some business – It’s important to accept new clients, but some work may not be the ideal fit. Instead of conducting work for an organization that may not offer benefits down the road, focus resources on attracting the right client the first time.

4.) Listen to advisors – As a business owner, passion can sometimes cloud judgment. It’s important to listen to advice from board members, advisors, consultants and employees, as these people may have ideas on how to save money, without slowing down the production line.

What are other ways small business owners can save money while conducting daily operations?
