Box 189, Panora, IA 50216 DEC 25 PRINTED ON RECYCLED PAPER FOR BUSINESS Prepare for the new year by exploring new-to-you resources. As we wrap up 2025, it’s an excellent opportunity to consider making a few changes at your business in 2026, particularly in the area of technology. This topic is the focus of our December 2025 Solutions for Business issue. It begins on page 3 with 8 Ways to Use QR Codes. If QR codes aren’t yet part of your customer communications, or you’d like to use them in more ways, check out this article. On pages 4 and 5, there’s a Business Spotlight on B&B Marketplace in Panora. While this shop is relatively new—it opened in 2024—owner Kandi Meinecke is no stranger to retail, having operated Britches ‘N’ Bows Country Store for 26 years. Panora Fiber is pleased to have B&B Marketplace as an internet customer and as a neighbor on East Main Street. You may find new technology strategies for your business to implement in page 6’s Understanding the Human Element of Data Breaches and page 7’s Get Your Team Excited About ChatGPT. Sometimes even simple new routines can save considerable hassles or time. On behalf of the entire Panora Fiber team, I wish you a joyous holiday season and thank you for choosing us as your provider. Please let us know how we can be of help in the new year. Sincerely, Andrew M. Randol General Manager Panora Fiber
