How can I use a SMART phone for my business?

In Australia 51% of mobile phones are now Smartphones and these can offer huge benefits for business. The top 6 things you can do are:

1.       Make your business contact mobile – get work emails direct to your phone, read, respond and compose your emails really making your business available 24/7.

2.       Upload real time information to your social media sites – using Facebook and Twitter you can let people know of events you are attending and why! You can “check in” at popular locations and book “coffee catch up meetings” with businesses.

3.       Make last minute changes to your banking – access your banks online portal to check your balance, transfer cash to avoid charges and pay invoices.

4.       Find locations – your phone has an inbuilt GPS so you never have to be late to another meeting you can get directions from your current location to the meeting address quickly and easily.

5.       Check out the weather – not such a silly idea for business, especially in the tropics. Who wouldn’t want to be forewarned about the cyclone, flooding or hailstones which are forecast?

6.       Download the barcode scanner application – make your phone a portable scanner and get all the latest offers, links to websites and business card details. While you are at it create your own QR Code at www.qrstuff.com it’s a great shortcut for your emails and business cards.

If you haven’t already got a smartphone for your business then ask yourself - why not?
