5 Holiday Gifts for Small-Business Owners

Online Invoicing

I find FastDue.com has an easier to use invoicing system than FreshBooks. Plus FastDue is free, whereas FreshBooks charges a monthly fee for complete functionality. FastDue also has customizable online business agreements that you can create, send, and sign online.

Gift in a Testimonial

Hello. Don't forget how expensive it can be for small businessowners to advertise. Make a gift of a personalized

product giveaway - like pens or note pads - to help them market. How about a year's membership to their local chamber of commerce? But especially are sincere testimonials of praise for jobs well done. That will really help entrepreneurs with their marketing efforts!

What I Want for Christmas

For me and my small business, www.mypersonalfarmers.com, I want a video camera and a small refrigerated truck. No kidding!

For my fellow entrepreneurs, I highly recommend stamps.com. I've used it for years.
