1. Hire less employees and get cloud software instead

Software does most of your work and gives accuracy also is much faster than actual people. While an employee will cost you much more, not only you will have to pay them but also manage their leaves and spend money and time on training them. Therefore taking up a cloud based software cuts down this cost and makes everything easier.

You can either hire interns or freelancers if necessary which will also cost less than permanent employees.

2. Collaboration

You can form partners with other business so you can join hands for the expenses. You can save money on supplies and goods. Also coopetition is followed by many business these days, you can collaborate with business from the same niche so you can help each other. Your business can cut down cost as your businesses can spend together on projects and do combined business.

3. Cut down on paper

It reads ”˜save paper”™ everywhere anyway so cutting down your costs by using less paper is also going to help in going green. We see in every company that after few mins or hours the printed material goes to waste. It could be just some simple list and printing that on a paper and distributing it to every individual in such a way is unnecessary. You can just send emails or send messages instead and save expense on paper.

Cutting down on paper does not only cut down the cost of paper, it cuts down the cost of everything connected with it. The supplies for printing, electricity and even time hence why not take the less expensive way.

4. Social networking site advertising

This is not a hidden fact everyone knows it. Advertising on social networking site is easy and cost effective. Just creating a page or an account and getting people to see it and share it is the easiest way to get the word out. You can use all kinds of social networking sites like Facebook, instagram, twitter,etc. You do not have to spend on the ad agencies or magazines, actors, models etc. Leave that for the huge companies just focus on getting the word out and saving expenses for your business.

5. Make bulk purchase for the necessary items

When you buy anything in bulk it costs less. Get the necessary stuffs in a bulk so you don”™t run out of it all of a sudden and have to sneak out some of the budget for it. It can make your whole calculation a mess once you open the closed budget for other expenses. Therefore stocking the necessary items before hand is always a safer choice.
