  1. Start offering free delivery of your goods – use bicycles

Remember the good ol’ days when you don’t have to worry about sky-high fuel rates? Well, those times are long gone. Motorized vehicles have become kings of the road since – which is good and bad at the same time for businesses.

Though deliveries are generally faster, fuel rates suck up a huge chunk of business budgets.  You change this around for your business by going old school with bicycles. This is very applicable to small business and restaurants. Make your patrons feel special by giving them convenient access to your products. And the best part is you don’t have to spend too much to show them your appreciation. To save even more, you can hire part-time employees like students to accomplish this job for you.

  1. Invest in LED lighting fixtures to save on electrical bills

LED has been gaining popularity world wide for being truly cost-effective lighting solution. Join the legions of business owners who are switching to LEDs. Choose options that deliver sustainable results because in the long run, these would prove to deliver higher savings value in the long run.

LED signs provide the same savings while making your store announcements attractive and eye catching.   

  1. Use fabric bags instead of plastics

Aside from gaining a wide following, using eco-bags is also an easy way to revamp your packaging. These bags also create less garbage because they’re reusable. Using eco-bags for your packaging can easily double as a freebie for them. Get an instant advertising by printing your company logo on it.

  1. Patronize goods made from recycled materials

The green revolution is at hand. Though many consumers are still finding their way to it, many have begun embracing this new age movement. Differentiate your business from others by showing that you care for the environment. Choose recycled table napkins for your restaurant instead of newly made ones. Or better yet, use cloth napkins which are reusable. Good research may be needed to find suppliers but the effort will certainly pay off in terms of monetary savings and company image building.

  1. Ditch the paper – or at least print on both sides (if you can’t help it)

This suggestion may be easier said than done. But many companies in all sizes have been taking steps to turn this into a reality. Maximizing papers by using both sides can be your first step before taking the giant leap. Receipts, memos and other secondary documents can be printed on the flip side of an old document. If this is not your thing, selling your scarp papers or having them recycled are good ideas as well.
