Thank you all for all the great information, I've been really busy the past couple weeks.
David, I think we have a great opportunity for direct mailing due to this key component; Homeowners need...
I talked to an accountant today and got it all straightened out, however I did forget to ask one thing. The owners wife for the first couple months of last year would take some of the checks of...
Thank you tallen that really cleared it up. So at this point it will be fine to just continue paying him with owner draw, but have the checks wrote out to him and marked in quick books that they are...
She techincally doesn't work there anymore, she hasn't for the past two years. This is the way they have always done it, and I know it is not right. She would also take checks that customers paid...
Both their names are on the company bank account, she had taken care of all the finances for the business up until last year and always wrote the checks out.
From what I understand since we file...
Thanks for that Neal. I am going to make sure this year that business expenses are only paid with business money. I know sometimes a personal item that can be wrote off as a business expense would be...
When I enter the transaction I add a check, I add the name, then it the account its transferring from would be checking and then the category would be owner equity. Doing this documents the money...
Thanks for the replies. I did some more reading and finally figured out how to add owner equity in quickbooks, it wasn't a preset category.
We already have personal and business accounts, the...
Our business converted to an Llc from sole proprietor last year. I also started using quick books for our accounting.
First question is, how are the owners personal expenses paid? From what I...
What is your opinion on direct mailing postcards?
Most townships we service have an ordinance for mandatory servicing of their systems, if they don't comply they get fines.
I think it would...
We met with out rep yesterday for our phone book and digital marketing, we removed two of our smaller ads and submitted our new ad that included the coupon for mentioning the ad.
Thank you very much for the feedback. I was actually going to ask about direct mailing. It was something we never really got into, but I think it would be a great way to push into territory that we...
I thought of another idea, since we are largely based off of word of mouth, I think focus in that are would be a great investment. Since we are service based, I think a small package including...
South central Pa, in a fairly rural area, there are small cities around us, but there is a lot of country side with a lot of homes. We service a fairly decent size area as well.
As far as I know...
It's still on the table of what size ad we are going to do, the best I can do with the time being is getting them to agree to a half page ad with a coupon on it so we can track how many people use...
Hi David. We are a septic company, we deal mostly in providing services. We do sell some products, but it's not a major part of our business.
Hello everyone, new here. I am involved in a family business. I am in charge of our marketing, which has been unchanged for years. Currently our main form of advertisement has been word of mouth, our...
I talked to my father about it yesterday and he agrees that we advertising has changed, but is afraid of getting away from the phone book because he thinks it could hurt business. I recommended maybe...
I went to yellow pages and searched for the company that we are in an area that we do a lot of work and we our 38 on the list, so we are not highly ranked at all.
The phone book ad does have a separate number that is tracked, but our website uses the same code as well. That's how the generate their reports. But the problem I have with those numbers are they...
It's a family business, my father and sister are the other two involved. They have had a full page ad for a long time and are stubborn about changing things. My sister buys into the fake result that...
Hello, our business has a full page phone book ad in our local phone book. This cost us some here around 15,000 annually just for this af alone. I personally think that it's ineffective and we could...
It makes me wonder if your brother in law is gaming the time clock (late starts, early exits, padding). I'm being pessimistic with this view because I've seen it done many times.
As to the seeing...
The main obstacle is I have no voice of authority and the persons who are taking care of these things do not listen to me. My dad did have a talk with said employee, and he has been following the...
