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.

releases:

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:

3. 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:
