Time is money. This is an old adage many of us know and generally believe to be true, just as much as ‘ignorance is bliss’ is an aphorism that has stuck around for as long as many can remember. But it’s also true that in this highly technologically sophisticated world and market at large, the former is perhaps the truest it’s ever been.
More and more companies are using time-saving measures to help them free up labor, while committing to tasks in a manner that can be completed in uniform fashion without sacrificing too much of the workday for it. Yet as there are so many systems, applications, and services we can use to integrate time-saving measures into our business, it’s hard to know what to use, how to compete, and what the standard might be for your industry.
For this reason, while time is money through and through, we hope to discuss a few means by which you can stay competitive with that in mind. Without further ado, let’s discuss this topic together:
Saving Time In Support
It’s important to save time where you can, and most of the time, this can mean fielding your support experience via a third party. With business class phone systems, you can more easily automate support without having to assign labor, or a good portion of your workforce’s day, responding to these necessities and wondering where the time is going. With live chat web portals, FAQs and more, you’ll also be more likely to avoid overloading your systems in the worst possible manner.
Reaching An Exponential Audience
Marketing that works for itself is perhaps one of the most powerful boons of the social media age. For instance, when posting scheduled tweets, and having that content shared by your users thanks to its insightful message or enjoyable content, you may find that marketing can explode and become seen by many more than you had ever expected. Leveraging the power of sharing social networks like this is no joke, in fact, it can potentially help you not only organize a targeted media campaign, but also ensures that through retweet and sharing functionalities, your branding is seen by more than you had expected. This helps you save money in repeat campaigns provided you gauge the approach correctly.
Shipping & Delivery
The terms by which you either ship or deliver your product is worth consideration. Many brands are trying to make this process more effective by ensuring that thier consumers have a choice of options. You may have seen ‘no rush’ delivery options that are free and provide your customer a later delivery for less cost as a result. This way, you might be able to wait a day or two before you send a big bulk batch of goods out through the mail - effectively helping your logistical management need less time to curate. Online delivery methods are also becoming more and more popular, such as via licensed software that can be actived with a key. Could your business make use of a plan like ths?
With this advice, we hope you can see how ‘time is money’ is more true than ever, and perhaps from there chase more thorough productivity.
