How to Beat the System and Actually Get Free Gifts from Incentive Programs
We've all seen the flashing banners, annoying pop-up ads and junk emails with the too-good-to-be-true free gift offers, like "Free iPod!" or "Free Laptop" or "Free Digital Camera." Many of us simply think to ourselves, nothing is free; this ...
Too Good to Be True??
Let's face it, not all people are good. I know what you must be thinking, "What a pesimistic person you are!" However, there are some facts of life we all just have to deal with. There are people out there who want to scam you, spam you, or do whatever ...
Who said nothing is for free?

10 Effective Ways To Reduce Your Business Costs by: William R. Nabaza of http://www.Nabaza.com
1. Barter - If you have a business you should be bartering goods and services with other businesses. You should try to trade for something before you buy it. Barter deals usually require little or no money.
2. Network - Try networking your business with other businesses. You could trade leads or mailing lists. This will cut down on your marketing and advertising costs. You may also try bartering goods and services with them. http://www.nabaza.com/globalnetworking.htm
3. Wholesale/Bulk - You'll save money buying your business supplies in bulk quantities. You could get a membership at a wholesale warehouse or buy them through a mail order wholesaler. Buy the supplies you are always running out of. http://www.nabaza.com/cognigen.htm
4. Free Stuff - You should try visiting the thousands of freebie sites on the internet before buying your business supplies. You can find free software, graphics, backgrounds, online business services etc. http://www.nabaza.com/freebies.htm
5. Borrow/Rent - Have you ever purchased business equipment you only needed for a small period of time? You could have just borrowed the equipment from someone else or rented the equipment from a "rent-all" store. http://www.nabaza.com/adr/
6. Online/Offline Auctions - You can find lower prices on business supplies and equipment at online and offline auctions. I'm not saying all the time, but before you go pay retail for these items try bidding on them first. http://www.nabaza.com/auctions.htm
7. Plan Ahead - Make a list of business supplies or equipment you'll need in the future. Keep an eye out for stores that have big sales. Purchase the supplies when they go on sale before you need them. 8. Used Stuff - If your business equipment and supplies don't need to be new, buy them used. You can find used items at yard and garage sales, used stores, used stuff for sale message boards and newsgroups etc.
9. Negotiate - You should always try negotiate a lower price for any business equipment or supplies. It doesn't hurt to try. Pretend you are talking to a salesman at a car lot.
10. Search - You can always be searching for new suppliers for your business supplies and equipment. Look for suppliers with lower prices and better quality. Don't just be satisfied with a few. http://search.nabaza.com/
