Running a Family Business? Make a Professional Impression Through Business Cards

Family owned businesses get a lot of attention due to their values, their focus on quality, and their utmost attention on their customers. As such, the term “family owned business” carries a sense of reliability and credibility.

But as much as that term plays within the business field, it also highlights the potential weaknesses that such an entity could have. Since family owned businesses don’t have a multimillion-dollar corporation working behind them, they are not on the same level of technical or corporate infrastructure as large scale companies.

That is why a few customers tend to favor those large corporations over small to medium businesses. They think that they would get greater infrastructure support such as robust customer service, even when it is not true.

Keeping this in mind, it gets more important than ever to establish your family business as being just as much a professional company as it is value-based entity. 

That is where business cards come in.

How Can Business Cards Establish a Brand Image

Since business cards are associated with professionalism, they have the ability to establish your brand image the moment you share them with your customers or potential partners.

These devices tell the other party that no matter the story behind the business, it knows its professional processes like any other firm should.

It thus enhances the trust level of the customer and lets them truly believe that their business and money is going into capable hands.

Where Can You Find Business Cards?

The internet has made sure that like many other things, the best place to buy business cards is just around the corner. Vendors such as Basic Invite allow family businesses to design their professional business cards in a few clicks, making the process easier than ever.

That’s not all, since Basic Invite also provides you with the option to order custom samples while buying your business cards online. This allows you to check your customized card in all its printed glory before you go and spend a large amount of money on a whole bunch of them. This lets you save on your budget, which goes a long way into cost savings and efficiency for your family business.

If you like your cards and how they turn out, then you can also utilize the same quality in different kinds of envelopes. With over 40 different colors to choose from, you could make a whole set of business stationery that would take your professional presentation to a whole new level.

Plan a Family Road Trip That Goes Off Without a Hitch

Going on a family road trip is an exciting adventure, whether you’re headed somewhere you’ve never been, or simply visiting Grandma a few hours away. But little kids and a long road aren’t always a great mix, so careful planning is necessary to keep everyone happy, safe and comfortable for the extent of the trip.

In The Car

The first step in completing a safe and fun family road trip is to make sure that the vehicle you will be driving is safe, running well, and doesn’t require any maintenance that may slow you down. Easy and mess free snacks like pre-cut fruit and veggies, granola bars and crackers should be readily available at any point that someone starts getting a little hungry.  You’ll also want to be ready with an arsenal of road trip activities to keep everyone busy and happy.  Some fun music that your kids like to sing along to, as well as some audiobooks are good to have on hand.  But toys and games may buy you more time. Try a whiteboard or chalkboard instead of paper, and the drawing can go on indefinitely without wasting tons of paper, and try having games, books and small toys organized in a handy place where the kids can reach them easily.

On The Road

If the goal of your road trip is simply to get to a destination as quickly as possible, starting your trip at bedtime may be the most effective option. Brush teeth, read a story, and complete your bedtime routine right before you load them up for the trip. Pajamas, blankets, pillows and loveys are necessary for this approach, and if it helps your kids wind down, an audiobook on the road can help keep everyone quiet and occupied until they fall asleep. If this isn’t an option, or your road trip goal is in search of scenery and family bonding, then you’ll have to plan your trip accordingly. When you map your route, look for parks or playgrounds along the way that you can stop at to let the kids run around for a little bit before getting back on the road.  And as long as your kids are out of diapers, you can count on needing to stop for a bathroom often.

Being well prepared for the reality of a road trip with children can help you ensure that the whole family has a good time.  With books, toys and a plan of action, your family vacation can go off without a hitch.

The Perfect First Flash Drive for Your Kids

Remember what was important for back-to-school supplies when we were kids? A ruler, pencils, pens, notebooks, a cool pencil case, and eventually a calculator. Well, you may notice that your kid’s school now added a flash drive to the list. So, with all these different flash drives on the market, how does a parent choose?

Your biggest concern most likely is finding the perfect flash drive that your kids won’t lose. First, let’s face the facts, kids lose things. Which means you can forget about that $50 SanDisk extreme till they’re in college! You may initially think that a flash drive with a key ring is the solution. While the key loop may be convenient for adults, depending on your kid’s age (and personality) that may not be the best solution. Even if your child is at an age where they carry keys, the only thing this will change is that their keys will also get lost in the process!

Though you know that you shouldn’t invest in a $50 USB drive that doesn’t mean you should go for any random $5 to $10 ones you find at your local pharmacy either. The issue with flash drives is that they are not all equally reliable. Losing data is just as bad as losing the drive itself! Once the flash drive proves to be unreliable, you’ll need to replace it just the same as if it were lost or stolen.

The solution to your child keeping their flash drive safe is to make it look fun! We all know that our little ones aren’t going to go crazy for the actual USB inside the drive. So the outside of the drive should be something they love, and that they will be excited to use. If their new flash drive becomes one of their favorite things then you know you found the right one!  

Recently, we stumbled across a company that makes custom flash drives. They have been in the industry for over a decade and make flash drives into any shape or material! The issue was to get our own customized drives, we’d have to order 100, and no kid loses things that often. After talking to them, they pointed us to their store where they sell flash drives individually and came across these cute little emoji flash drives!

Our kids can’t get enough of emoji products, and if it were up to them, they would ban the English language and only communicate using emojis. The flash drive manufacturers, USB Memory Direct, have three different emoji drives: the poop, heart eyes, and crying laughing face emojis. While physically they look great, we wanted to make sure they fit our qualifications before purchasing some of our own.

Don’t let the price fool you, it’s not the same as those novelty flash drives in CVS. USB Memory Direct produces wholesale flash drives and backs all of their memory with a lifetime warranty. The emojis have a 3.0 flash drive that works significantly faster than the cheap pharmacy check-out isle drives. They come in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB. This allows you to choose which capacity is best for your child by their age and requirements. Unless your children are in a magnet program for film, art, music, or computer science you likely won’t need the 64GB. For us, the 32GB was the best deal, at only a buck more than the 16GB!

What we really like about these flash drives is that they are made out of durable silicone just like many toys. We found this out when we accidentally washed an emoji and another cute drive from Amazon with our kids’ laundry. The Amazon one warped from the high heat and started cracking, but the emoji was pristine! At first, this scared us into asking them what the heck this thing is made of?! They told us that most industry standard custom shaped USBs are made of PVC rubber. Instead, they made their emojis out of the same stuff the Livestrong bracelets are made of making the flash drive easy to clean and difficult to break.

When we told them that these USBs were for our kids, their only warning was that regardless of the appearance a flash drive is not a toy. Though it survived the wash, we were lucky that it was only washed. Turns out, these chips are water resistant but any chip can easily lose its data or get destroyed by static electricity in a dryer! Remember, do not buy them a flash drive until they start school. Kids under 4 are prone to putting their toys in their mouth. Something metal and small like a flash drive could be a serious choking hazard. Luckily, once your kid is old enough to go to school they also understand that flash drives are not food.

The emoji flash drives are truly a great first flash drive for your little ones. However, make sure yours isn’t made from PVC or something else kids shouldn’t be handling. That and the lifetime warranty is why we proudly recommend USB Memory Direct flash drives. Just don’t tell them if you accidentally put it in the dryer!

How to Win Your Gaming Addiction

For quite some time now, people have been escaping to the online realm whenever they feel like the reality that surrounds them is too much to handle. While spending time online – and especially enjoying various online video games – is a great way to blow off some steam, you should definitely do it in moderation. Too much of a good thing is still not good, no matter how much you enjoy it in the given moment.

This tendency to escape reality has led us to some serious problems, such as video game addiction, that can have severe consequences on both our physical and mental well-being, as well as on the people surrounding us and the relationships we tend to form with them. Here, we’ll take a closer look at why it is important not to give in to the temptation but fight your gaming addiction.

Let’s start at the beginning

To set the grounds for future points, we should first divide the online games into free and paid games. This division is important as there are varying factors that can lead to different consequences. However, this is not to say that some of those consequences are true for both types of games; au contraire – most of them apply on both, actually. Furthermore, when talking about online games, we’ll be focusing on all genres and types, not just the most commonly-mentioned RPGs. So, let’s dive deeper into the matter, shall we?

Paid games

When talking about paid games, the first and the most obvious problem is spending money. If you’re completely submerged in the world of online fantasy RPG, for example, that requires a monthly subscription, paid in-game transactions and other similar expenses, getting too carried away will put a significant strain on your real-life budget. Alternatively, online gambling – and especially slots – can easily get you carried away and before you know it, you can end up in some serious debt.

That’s why it’s important to stay conscious of your situation and keep a close eye on your speeding at all times. Allocate a gaming budget and treat it like you would any other monthly expense to make sure you don’t fall off the wagon and end up in the red without even realizing it. It’s of the utmost importance to approach gaming cautiously and stay responsible and aware of the situation at any given moment.

Free games

While paid games may present an obvious financial threat, free games bring so-called hidden dangers. You may think “Oh, it’s free to play, which means I won’t be spending any money on it, so I should be ok” and that’s true to a point. However, like any game, they can be quite captivating. Spending too much time playing games – be it paid or free – will negatively affect all aspects of your life. For starters, scientists and doctors nowadays call sitting the next smoking, and some even consider it to be even more dangerous. Additionally, spending all of your free time behind a computer screen – no matter how much fun you have while doing it – is really bad for your digestive system, back, posture, eyes and the entire body really.

Next, your relationships with real-life people are bound to suffer because of your gaming addiction as well. For example, if you “absolutely must finish this quest” instead of taking your son to play catch at the park, even though you’ve promised it, it will leave a huge dent in your relationship and may even lead to trust issues. Yes, this example may not be a true case for you, but you get the gist of it.

Useful tips

In order to take full control over your gaming addiction, you first need to acknowledge that you have a problem. Next, don’t quit gaming out of the blue. Gaming takes a lot of time, so quitting it cold turkey may lead to having too much free time on your hands. Additionally, limit the budget you are willing to spend on gaming and whenever possible, choose the games as much physical activity as possible.

Finally, as they say, the best way to combat your current addiction is to find a new one that won’t have any negative side effects. What this means is that you should try your best to switch your gaming addiction for a new hobby. Anything in which you can include your friends and family and anything that can be useful for either you yourself or the people around you will be an excellent starting point.

The Advantages of the Nintendo Switch you need to know

The Nintendo Switch has won many fans and of course there are strong reasons behind that. On this post, I will talk about the advantages of this new desktop / portable console alternative.

• Portability: thanks to the great N, once again the consoles have a radical change, since none of the current options in the market allow you to take it with you. Now, Nintendo changes that nature and adjusts its graphic quality: either in 720p, as portable, or in 1080p, as a desktop console to enjoy Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, Metroid, among other franchises that were applied to have an edition in this new console.

• Storage technology: Nintendo is ahead in the use of SSD technology (Solid State Drive), whose main advantage over traditional HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is greater resistance to shock. Similarly, the sound they emit when used is less and able to exponentially improve loading times in the consoles, so it is promised that the load screens on the switch will be seconds. This also reduces the problems of overheating and helps in the portability of the console, although it was proven with practice.

• The line-up of videogames: starting with Zelda Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Disgea 5, Fast Rmx, Mario Kart 8 Delux, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, Sonic Mania and several RPGs. They make you always want to play. You can get more games with free download nintendo Switch  games.

• The controls: the Joy-Con allows us to use the provided commands together or separately to lend one of these to our friend / family and enjoy the games together. To note, you need a “case” that will allow you to use better the triggers and improve the gaming experience with these controls, but not only that, because they have gyroscope, NFC technology, infrared and HD vibration.

• Regional blocking: finally Nintendo leaves aside the geographical restrictions, since previously the users of Nintendo consoles in America could not enjoy the games launched exclusively in Japan and other regions. Today, we can enjoy a wide variety of games.

Running Your Own Business While Managing a Family? Use These Email Marketing Tips to Make Things Easier

Managing a family is a full time job on its own, and when you also have to manage a business along with it, you can bet that you’ll have your work cut out for you.

From keeping track of the quality of your service to the way that you market your products, you have to ensure that the steps you are taking towards your business’ betterment are actually working the way you intended them to.

And this is especially true when you apply this notion to the aspect of email marketing, which is one of the most economical yet effective ways of advertising in this day and age.

According to email marketing platform MyEmma, the mode of outreach has become so prominent with the widespread usage of smartphones that emailing your potential clients is now considered a surefire way to get your message across to them and delivered right to their phone screens.

Judge the significance of this statement by knowing that 81% of people now use their phones to keep track of their emails.

Why wouldn’t they? Instead of going through extremely detailed desktop browser interfaces, they can judge the contents of every email by a quick glance at their phone’s notifications, and check if the email’s body content holds anything of interest.

But this also acts as a two-edged sword, since it means that your body content could either make or break your email marketing campaign.

This is why, you need to make sure that your text-based emails are created in a way that they always drive the point home through the power of words – and here’s how you can achieve that feat.

1. Use Personalization to Your Advantage

Make sure that you use relevant tools to personalize the email for each recipient. You do not have to go into great details to create intricate messages, since the simple mention of someone’s name and their key interests could go a long way towards establishing a great rapport with them. Thus, pay ample attention to this aspect.

2. Format Content for Skimming

For those who’d open your email, it’d be important to be told what you’re trying to convey in a few seconds’ time. If your email is too convoluted or requires someone’s complete attention to be read, then you may miss out on potential readers while they are on the go. Make sure to draft simple and easy to understand emails, while also using formatting to your advantage to break them down with paragraphs, headings and bullet points.

3. Don’t Forget Your Call-to-Action

Creating a great email wouldn’t amount to anything if it doesn’t urge your users to visit your website, book an appointment or simply giving you a call. Ensure that as friendly as your email’s content is, that you make sure to include proper calls-to-action within such emails. They can do wonders in obtaining new business.

4. Be a Minimalist

In text-based emails, less is more. Be concise and be clear in what you have to say while making sure that any redundant information is not affiliated with your email. By keeping your message clean of any confusing elements or language, you can ensure to drive more audience towards your objective.

5. Respect Your Subscribers’ Choices

If your subscribers do not want an HTML email, then they must have taken the decision due to a good reason. Trying to change their mind by sending them emails about switching to HTML might just avert them from your campaign altogether. Ensure that you don’t push your HTML emails in their faces and instead deliver them the content they signed up for through intelligently crafted text emails.

If you want to read about these tips in a more elaborated manner or simply want to obtain more content on email marketing tips, then make sure to give MyEmma’s website a visit and get yourself set on the path of learning email marketing right from the experts in no time.

Getting Started with Shapewear

As the years pass, most people begin to feel a bit self-conscious about how they look. Sometimes it is because they have put on a bit of extra weight or that the aging process has led to a bit of sagging.

When that happens, there is no reason to worry. Modern shapewear like the type that is sold by retailers like Simply Be, can save the day. Provided you buy the right type, look after it and wear it properly you will be pleasantly surprised by how much of a difference it can make to the way you look. But, if you have never bought shapewear there are a few things you need to be aware of and take into account.

Check your size

The first tip is to measure yourself before you shop for shapewear. This video shows you how. Always use a tape measure, never simply use your bra or dress size. The sizing of these garments varies greatly, so you cannot rely on using them as a guide.

Buy the right size

This next tip seems obvious, but you will be surprised by how many people do not follow this advice. You need to buy the right size shapewear. Too big and it won’t provide any support at all. If it is too tight, all that will happen is that your bulges will be redistributed and spill out over the top and out of the sides. This looks truly awful, far worse than if you were not wearing shapewear at all.

Buy for your body type

Look at yourself in the mirror and work out which areas need additional smoothing and support. This will help you to work out which garments will help you the most.

Choose the right level of compression

Shapewear offers several different levels of compression and support. If you are just looking for a smoothing effect go for light support garments. Spandex and garments with built-in control panels provide a little support as well as smoothing out minor bulges.

Firm compression garments are good for contouring. They reshape the figure as well as provide support. But, they do not really pull you in. For that, you want maximum compression garments or corsets. However, you do need to be careful with how you wear these. They are really only designed to be worn occasionally. If you wear them all day, every day, your organs can end up gradually being displaced. That can lead to breathing and digestion issues.

Try it on properly

When you get your shapewear home, try it on under a range of garments. Take a critical look at yourself in the mirror, if you can, from all angles. This is the best way to be sure that the items you have chosen are actually the right ones for you. If they do not look or feel right do not be afraid to return them. Bear in mind that you are unlikely to be able to return shaping panties because of hygiene concerns. So, pay special attention to sizing when buying those.

Working From Home Can Set You Free

With 3.9 million Americans working at least half of their week at home, making money remotely has become a legitimate way to generate extra cash flow. Whether its making money off of your actual property of just working in your home office, being based in the comfort of your own home is not only convenient but great for your family.

Using Your Home For Extra Income

Generating money from home can prove to be the best way for you to gain extra income, pay off mortgages, or ease the transition into retirement. The most common way to make money off your property is by renting out a room or space. With websites like AirBnB being popular hotspots for temporary rentals, families can rent out rooms for months, weeks, or even days at a time. More traditional lease based renting options provide a more secure and long-term rental. Another popular method to making money from home is using any garage or back house space as a storage unit. This involves no risk of rental or human wrongdoing, simply use your extra space for other storage and make money while you sleep!

Your Home Is Your Office

Working from home can be a peaceful experience that allows you to work on your own time, while also being able to focus on the responsibilities of raising a family. For many people with passionate hobbies that may not be part of the corporate world, blogging from home can be a way to generate extra income as well as expressing what you are passionate about. Starting your own blog will allow you to focus your days on your two loves; your passion and your family. Freelance writing jobs are also plentiful online. If you have a knack for writing about various topics or are even a specialist in one, there are plenty of opportunities to write and earn money from home. Online tutoring and graphic design jobs allow college graduates the opportunity to use their degrees and excel in their profession all from the comfort of the home. Your home can earn money for you.

Dedicate More To Your Family

Working from home by renting property, selling storage space, starting a blog, or a remote position all can generate extra cash and give you a little more wiggle room financially. The most enriching part about working from home though, is the serenity and fulfillment it provides by allowing you to be less stressed and more active in the lives of your family members.

How to Use Embroidery to Make your Clothes More Fashionable

If you have some old, plain clothes that you don’t really wear but don’t want to throw away either, then here’s an idea for you! You can try using embroidery to help make your clothes more fashionable and make you want to wear them all the time. Embroidery is a versatile technique that can be used to spice up a clothing item and give it new life.

Embroidery has made a huge comeback into style and has been a steady trend for a while now. So find some items that could use a little something extra and enjoy being creative with embroidery!

Starting Out

You can begin by choosing a machine to start embroidery, or try a more simple method with an embroidery hoop and needle. Embroidery machines can digitize a design and embroidery it onto your clothing much quicker than if you do it by hand. There are many embroidery machines suitable for beginners so it won’t be too difficult for you to get the hang of it. If you’d prefer to try your hand at embroidery the old fashioned way, then stop by your nearest craft store and get the supplies you need.

With either method, you should practice on some scrap material before starting on your clothing. But don’t worry if you do make a mistake in your design, a stray stitch can easily be unpicked or covered up.

Patterns and Patches

There are endless amounts of free patterns you can find online. From a simple, red rose to intricate patterns and even emoji designs. You can start with the simple designs and maybe try embroider a simple flower onto a plain T-shirt. The simplest design can have a massive impact on the way a clothing items looks, just by adding a lovely little detail. Floral designs are very trendy right now and can turn a plain old item of clothing into an elegant, stylish piece that will turn heads.

You can even buy embroidered patches to sew or iron on to your clothes if you’d prefer not to do all the work yourself. Patches can have many meanings or symbolize specific places or things. Try adding them on a denim jacket for a very fashionable look.

Another idea is to embroider words onto your garments. You can make them more personal with your initials, or embroider a simple saying that you like. This can help you create more unique items of clothing and people will be sure to ask you where you bought them from!

Colour

It’s important think about what colour embroidery thread you should use on specific clothing items. Consider what colours will complement the colour of the fabric, and if you want your design to really stand out or if you want it to be more subtle. Using complementary colours is a great idea if you want your designs to be more eye-catching, and contrasting colours will definitely stand out more than similar shades.

Embellishments

Embellishments, like beads and sequins, can be used to make your embroidery really pop. Adding a little sparkle can really draw the eye to the design and make people notice the details of your clothes. If you’re embroidering a pattern, all you need to do is slip a small bead or sequin onto the thread every now and then to create an amazing effect. Embellishments could also be used in the centre of flower designs.

Textures

Embroidery can also help to link together different pieces of your outfit. You can layer an embroidered denim jacket over just about anything, whether it be a light, summer dress, or leggings and a T-shirt. Plat around with different clothing textures that will make your embroidery really stand out.

There are so many different types of stitches you can try out that will result in different textures within your embroidered design or pattern. From spaced out, simple lines to heavily layered patterns that add volume to your design, there are so many techniques to experiment with.

Accessories

Your clothes aren’t the only things you can jazz up with embroidery. Accessories can help turn a boring outfit into a cute ensemble. Try embroidering some bright colours onto a scarf, or add some intricate patterns to your clutch bag and turn it into more of a statement piece. Embroidery can be used to make pretty much anything more fashionable, so be creative and have some fun with it!

Tips for Traveling with Big Kids

Traveling with kids will get easier once they get bigger, right? In some cases, no. Bigger just means they are able to express themselves more. Tantrums won’t fully go away. And if you have more than one kid, prepare for those endless sibling spats that can make you want to pull your hair out and regret ever hauling your entire family for a vacation.

Try these tips to make traveling with big kids a lot easier:

Make a List of Everything the Entire Family Needs

A list helps you stay sane while packing for your vacation. A list also ensures that you won’t forget your child’s favorite cuddle toy or your emergency medical kit. Squelch the urge to bring everything but the kitchen sink. The last thing you would want to do is lug around your heavy luggage while herding the kids. Keep everything minimal and simple. You will stay sane that way.

Expert tip: Bring only your essentials and allot money to buy the rest of the stuff you need at your destination. Just make sure you do your research in advance to make sure your destination has stores where you can buy the things you need.

Arm Yourself with an Entertainment Kit

Vacations mean lots of time going from one place to another and spending a lot of time waiting for food to arrive when you eat at restaurants. Kids get easily bored and antsy when they get cooped up in contained places for a long time. Give something to distract them.

Make a travel entertainment kit and a restaurant kit. You don’t want the kids to get bored with their activities fast so make sure you have these two separate kits and give them only when they have to wait for a long time. You can visit the dollar store and buy art supplies and cheap toys to bring with you.

Expert tip: When buying coloring supplies, choose those that won’t roll off easily. The last thing you would want to do is keep crouching under the chair to find crayons that your children keep on dropping. You can actually find uniquely-shaped coloring materials. If you are feeling extra creative, you can chop up old crayons into small pieces and then put them in Alphabet or star-shaped molds. Melt them in the oven and let them harden. You not only have new shape of crayons, you also saved money in buying new coloring materials.

Plan Your Travel Itinerary with Kids in Mind

Choose accommodations that are kid-friendly. Stay away from unsafe, noisy and overcrowded areas. You can actually save more money by avoiding the usual touristy accommodations. Find out if they have amenities ideal for kids so you can keep them occupied while you go and have a massage. Pick accommodations with the essentials like a bathtub, laundry, TV and Wi-Fi. Also make sure you pick destinations with plenty of activities that kids will love.

Expert tip: Stay longer and you have better chances of scoring bigger discounts. You can also opt to go during off-peak seasons to avoid hordes of vacationers and to take advantage of the amenities of the hotel better. Trust me, swimming in a jam-packed pool is not a good way to spend your vacation.

Bring Lots of Snacks

Bringing snacks can save you a lot of money. They will also keep your kids occupied and prevent your kids from getting hungry while traveling. You can buy small reusable containers and stash snacks in there. Choose snacks that won’t get mushy or won’t perish easily.

Expert Tip: Buy snacks in bulk and separate them in small packages so they are easier to bring. Choose snacks that are not messy and are satiating so your kids won’t feel hungry easily.

Don’t Forget Important Equipment

We’re talking about strollers. If you have kids who still take naps during the day, they will need a place to do so.

Expert Tip: You can also use the stroller to stash your luggage and shopping bags. Tandem strollers are also great, so you won’t have to bring more than one stroller. You can check out more options here.

With careful planning, you should be able to go on a stress-free vacation with your kids. Prepare in advance and choose destinations that your kids will love. Focus on creating wonderful memories with your kids.
