Will that be cash or credit?

Take a look at this new product called [Square]. It's a little device that attaches to an audio jack that lets you swipe and accept credit cards on the spot. I think this is an amazing idea! I'm so excited what this could do for small business owners, vendors, and artisans.

2010 Pantone Color of the Year

In early December, Pantone announced their pick for 2010 color of the year.  Turquoise! They report that is positive color that represents compassion and healing, faith and trust, escaping our troubles and increasing the feeling of well being. Great ideas for 2010.  And... I LOVE this color!

Takeaway for Small  Business Owners: Try adding this color to your window displays, advertising, packaging or product lines to take part in the trend.  The color is appealing to both men and women.
