Scam Artists Target Online RetailersSteps to take to avoid online fraud: 1. Insist purchasers provide the additional digits of the card validation number, usually printed on the reverse side of the card. 2. Don’t assume that approval by a credit card issuer means a card is OK. Use common sense and check the validity of information on large or unusual transactions. Consider joining the Verify by Visa and MasterCard SecureCard programs. 3. Consider requesting traditional forms of payment such as money orders or checks for orders being shipped outside the United States. Make online fraud prevention someone’s responsibility. |
Business Card Tips:1. Your business card must communicate more than just contact information. Include a line that explains what you do. Keep your business card simple. Don't use too many fonts or try to cram too much information in it. Try to use a pleasant layout and make sure that your main message doesn't get lost. 2. Avoid using standard clip art as your business logo. A logo brings credibility and brand awareness, so before you invest in business cards have a logo professionally made for your business. Keep your business cards with you at all times. Keep a stack in your car, in your house, in your office, and in your wallet. Don't give away cards that are bent or damaged. |
