Why Your Business Needs To Be A Part Of The Data Driven World
Sometimes having to sift through and interpret data can be an overwhelming task. From numbers to charts, it all can be a little confusing at times. Most people would rather just skip to the conclusion instead of really diving into the numbers. Truth is it’s a data driven world now. When running a business, that could lead to big problems.

The data can help to support your business goals or allow you the opportunity to create new goals to focus on moving forward. But fear not, there are ways to make this task a little bit easier to understand. Today we will be looking at some of the reasons why data is important and some tools to help you better understand that data.

Crafting Time! Tumblers, T-shirts and bags!
My Cricut Maker has been getting a heck of a workout lately. Tt’s crafting time, and I’ve been creating a ton of towels, t-shirts and mugs but, all for other people. I snagged a set of plain black 12-ounce tumblers on Amazon. These things are aweeeeeeesome! Cold drinks stay cold. Hot drinks stay hot. I had a drink last night that the ice didn’t melt! Usually my drink is pretty well watered down before the last swallow. With this Schiipper tumbler I still had a cup full of ice at the end of my drink! Made of stainless steel in a Black finish with a fitted lid and sliding opening.These cups are unbreakable, made of 0.5mm stainless steel and stronger than any others. As in drop it on the floor and no worries! There are 2 stainless steel straws with their own cleaning brush plus 2 extra lid seals too!!!! Under $16. HOWEVER, the best part is these take vinyl perfectly!!! I made a set for Selena and my sister got one but as I mailed them out I thought WHY don’t I get a set??! So, check these out! These are mine. First, how pretty is this soft turquoise…

Is Your Store Easy to Shop?
Opening a retail shop, whether on the high street, in a mall or at an out-of-town location, is still a valid way to sell your products. Shops still sell. Despite the growth in online shopping, many people still prefer shopping in person. No, it might not have the convenience of online shopping. But it has something better. Shopping in real life is an experience. As a retail customer, you get to touch products, speak to people, ask questions and enjoy the atmosphere. Yes, it takes longer than clicking a button, but you are more likely to come out of it with a product that you love and a smile on your face. If the store does it well, there are so many shops on the high streets that don’t. Big shops, with huge budgets, often make simple mistakes that mean that their stores don’t offer excellent customer experience and aren’t easy to shop.
