Q: Most people do not use cash to pay for goods and services. Your business should respond to the needs and habits of your customers. Invest in a debit and credit card machine to make it easier for your customers to pay you quickly and easily. If you don't already have a Point Of Sale (POS) system, consider investing in one. A POS system is computer software that can track purchases made by your customers and what types of products or services they are buying. A POS system allows you to track what your customers prefer, what they like to buy, and how often they buy. A POS system will not only increase sales and help you to better market your products or services, it also makes your customer feel well taken care of. POS systems help you manage your inventory, provide special offers or promotions, and give your customer the right pricing. You won't have to worry about accidentally selling customers out-of-stock merchandise or wrongly priced items. Your website is often the first impression your customer will see for your business. Invest in a well designed website that showcases your products and services in an appealing way. Make sure your website has mobile usage, as many customers will be looking at your website on their phones. If you cannot afford to hire a web designer, you can create your own site using Wordpress. Make sure your website features the name of your business, your business' location, your company's contact information and your business hours. The internet can act as a very efficient service tool for your business, especially if you use social media to your advantage. In today's competitive environment, every business should have a strong social media presence to connect with customers and keep customers engaged in their business. Create a Facebook page and an Instagram account for your business. Update your social media accounts regularly and involve your employees in the process of updating and posting on the accounts. Encourage the use of a hashtag for your business, such as #TheShoeStore, to help promote your business. Be prepared for customer feedback on social media. Many customers will likely post their customer service experiences on your public pages. This should motivate you to instill a high level of customer service at your business to keep the postings positive! Link your website to your social media, such as your Facebook page, Instagram account, or Twitter account. That way, customers will be directed to your other social media accounts, and other ways to connect with your business.
A: Implement customer friendly technology. Hire a web designer to create a professional website. Don't neglect your social media.

Q: Trans fats, like those found in many fried foods, vegetable shortening, cookies, crackers, margarine, chips, and baked goods, contribute to greasy hair and skin without providing any nutritious value to your body. Try to limit these foods entirely, and reduce the amount of saturated fats you consume through meat and dairy products. High carbohydrate, high sugar foods also cause your body to produce more sebum, or thick oil, on your skin including your scalp and hair. Baked goods and foods high in processed white flour (white breads and pastas) should be replaced with whole grains, low-starch vegetables, legumes, and fruit. Continue eating sources of good fats, or foods with essential fatty acids such as nuts, seeds, fatty fish, and unrefined whole grains. These foods provide your body with fats that it needs, and deficiencies in these fats can actually have a negative impact on your skin and hair health. Touching your hair transfers oils from your fingers and hands onto your hair. Try to touch your hair as little as possible when you're not styling it. If you need to fix your hair, use a clean brush or comb instead of your fingers. Dry heat, much like hot water, tends to strip hair of its natural oil, causing it to overcompensate by producing even more oil. Allow your hair to air-dry after washing it as often as possible. Brushing takes grease from the scalp and moves it down the hair follicles, so you should take hair to clean your hairbrush regularly. Remove hair from your brush as often as possible. Clean your brush once a week by squirting a few drops of dish soap into it, adding water, and rubbing the ends of the bristles with the soap suds. Rinse all the soap from your brush and let it air-dry. Because brushing moves oil down your hair, you should also avoid overbrushing. Try to brush your hair only when it is tangled or when you are styling it for the day.
A: Eat a diet low in carbs and trans fats. Touch your hair less frequently. Avoid heat-drying as much as possible. Clean your hairbrush.

Q: If you spend time on a computer, then the position of your monitor could be causing your neck misalignment. Raise your monitor so that the top third of your screen is directly in your eyeline. Position the monitor 18 inches (46 cm) to 24 inches (61 cm) from your face. When you sit in a chair, press the bottom of your butt against the back of your chair. Allow your back to curve slightly, pressing your upper back against the chair. Keep your neck and head straight. You spend about a third of your time sleeping, and the wrong pillow can cause your neck to be poorly aligned. Your pillow should support your neck and keep in in line with your upper back and chest. A pillow that is too high or too low will put strain on your muscles, resulting in misalignment and pain. Great pillow options for neck alignment include memory foam pillows or neck roll pillows. A good pillow will also allow you to stay comfortable in different sleeping positions. Replace your pillows annually. Many people spend their day sitting at a desk, which can negatively affect your posture and health. Schedule breaks throughout your day to get up and walk around. While you're up, focus on walking with good posture. Stand up straight, roll your shoulders back, and face forward. Do your neck stretches during your breaks. Make sure that your diet is high in nutrients that support healthy bones, such as protein, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin K, vitamin C, and vitamin D3. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can also help you maintain a healthy weight, which will help your bones by making their load lighter. Eat lean proteins, fruit, and plenty of vegetables. Consider taking a multivitamin. Gentle exercise will help prevent injuries and pain in both your neck and back. When you exercise, your vertebrae swell with water, which allows nutrients to flow into your bones. Exercise can also help you control your weight, which will help by reducing the pressure on your bones.
A:
Adjust your computer monitor. Sit up straight. Sleep on a pillow that supports your neck. Take posture breaks. Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Exercise regularly.
