 Save money on office space- find a complimentary business owner and split the rent.  - http://stylinsites.com Leah Oviedo

 To save on letterhead, business cards, envelopes and the like I go to Vista Print. com and design my own. They have templates you can use or you can start from scratch. For me it's a lot of fun, you can add your own personal style and you can save a lot of money!

One of the best things to do to save money is to take a very careful look at your previous year expenses (should be done now because taxes are due tomorrow!). Look at each line item and ask yourself: how did spending this money advance my business? If it didn't, then eliminate that expense. I did this in January and significantly cut my monthly expenses - with no loss in business.  www.TheJoyPath.com  Jane B. Ford

 

Streamline ordering office supplies through one contact to enjoy economies of scale and set standards on buying green supplies (EcoGreenOffice.com is a great resource for supplies and they will show you the # of trees and lbs of carbon you are saving with each order). Also, set all printers to print double-sided by default.  www.threesquaresinc.com  Jaime Nack
