By
helping Buyers reach countless creatives across the globe, we're
changing
the game for the little guy. Now small businesses, one-man
shops and individuals
anywhere can tap into a global pool of creatives.
In fact, we're so convinced
that global talent pool will give your project
new ideas, different perspectives
and a far better final product - we
guarantee it. And, by helping creatives
reach a new, global market for
their creativity, we hope to challenge the
current thinking on where
great ideas come from. The truth is that a great
idea can come from
anyone, anywhere - whether they're a janitor by day and
a designer
by night or a stay-at-home mom who doesn't have the time to run
her own web studio. crowdSPRING makes geography and title
irrelevant and,
thereby, opens new markets for creativity all the
world over.

How to Turn Casual Customers into Raving Fans

One
piece of advice I'm hearing again and again is the importance of
taking good
care of your "core customers." The customers who have
been working
with you for years, who send you referrals, and who
return again and again
to buy from you.
Accelerate
the process of turning casual customers into raving fans:

2. 5 Reasons Why Business Owners Need a Will

Up to 70% of people are without the protection of
a valid or up-to-date will.
Many of these will be business owners or directors.
Failing to make a will
can create a serious risk to family and business partners.
Make sure that
you are not one of them and that not only do you have a valid
will but that
it is updated at least once every five years to take account
of changing
personal, tax and business circumstances.
Make
sure your will is accurate, up-to-date and reflects your wishes:
