SurePayroll Main Street Insights: Small Business Owners Go Online for the News

malter@surepayroll.com — Wed, 16 Sep 2009

A recent survey conducted by online payroll provider SurePayroll suggests that traditional print newspapers could be turning into a rarity in small business offices as more business owners turn to online news.

Thirty percent of survey respondents - the largest group of business owners who took the survey - said they currently turn to Internet editions of newspapers more than any other news format, including local TV news, national TV news, local and national radio shows, and magazines. Only one in seven said they use traditional print newspapers as their main source of news.

"It's no secret that small business owners lead busy lives and are always looking for ways they can multi-task and be as productive as possible - keeping up-to-date on current events included," says SurePayroll President Michael Alter. "Reading the news online gives business owners the flexibility to scan information from multiple sources and easily keep a grasp on what's going on while they work."

SurePayroll Main Street Insights: Is Multi-Tasking Hurting Small Business?

malter@surepayroll.com — Thurs, 16 July 2009

When times are tough, small business owners face more pressure to pick up the slack and find ways to do more with less. According to a recent survey conducted by online payroll provider SurePayroll, business owners are multi-tasking to address the challenges of the current economy, keep customers happy and keep their businesses running smoothly.

The survey found that 88 percent of small business owners think multi-tasking is now a key component in running a successful business that business owners should embrace.

“Being a business owner, you usually don’t get the option of doing one thing,” says survey respondent Lydia Rivera, Agent and Owner of Allstate Insurance Company in Georgia. “You wear many hats. Whether it’s checking email, correcting someone’s hours, paying bills, answering the phone, running a quote and writing business ... I have to do it all with patience and give each task my full attention and accuracy. Somehow I pull it off and it's become what I am used to doing.”
