Here is a list of services and service providers that we highly recommend to businesses starting out. We have been using each of these for a long time to support our business and other businesses that we work with.
Backup Services
Local Backup – We set up Allway Sync for providing our clients with an on-site backup solution. Their software is free for low to moderate use, but some businesses may need to pay for a license.
Off Site Backup – For Canadian companies it is important that their backed up files stay inside the country! We use GotData?ca for our off-site backup needs.
Hosting Services
Email & Web Hosting -> We recommend BlueHost.com as an online web and hosting provider. They have a great control panel, fantastic price and superb support!
Email Marketing -> MailChimp helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results. It’s like your own personal publishing platform.
Stock Photographs -> When you don’t have your own professional images, purchasing licensed photos are a great way to enhance your online or printed materials.
Productivity Gains
A great product if you find you often have multiple Microsoft Office documents open at the same time!
