One-stop shopping is more convenient and takes less time, which is why it’s so popular. You can think of this issue of Solutions for Business as the magazine version of one-stop shopping, since it includes content on a variety of topics. Social Media Influencers Impact Purchases, as you’ll discover on page 3. You may want to consider adding this tool to your social media strategy. Also on this page is an employee profile on Mike Moore, Combination Technician. The Business Spotlight on Hometown Foods was the inspiration for this issue’s one-stop shopping theme. Check out pages 4 and 5 to learn about these family-owned grocery stores that are committed to helping customers get everything on their list while enjoying friendly service and good values. Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications provide phone and internet services to keep the stores operating efficiently. Technical information is also part of this issue. On page 6, you’ll find an explanation of Shared Bandwidth vs. Dedicated Bandwidth, followed on page 7 with the article SCORE Offers Small Business Resilience Hub about an important online resource.
