subject: Mining For Unknown Talent In Your Small Business [print this page] One thing that is common among small businesses is a small staff. That means that many of these people have more than one thing that they are responsible for. It does help people from being too bored at the job and it gives people a chance to shine in more than one area too. You may find that when you are doing some new things at work you will need to find out what your staff members are talented with that you don't know about.

You might be delighted by the skills that some of your staff has in regards to doing this. If they can help you get though this you will be able to get off a lot cheaper with getting the site done and they will get a big pat on the back.
You will need other types of talent within your employees to get going on some promotional advertising projects. There are many ways that you can customize promotional products. You see a lot of these out in the world. Some companies will just have a very plain two color design with their name. This does not get anyone excited though. If you have someone on staff that is artistic they could help you with this.
Simple drawings done by the more artistic members of your staff can be used in conjunction with your logo to create some great looking designs that would make people stop and stare at your shirts that you prints as well as hats, mugs, or shopping bags. Between those that can draw and others that know computer graphics, you can have some amazing looking promotional items created.
You will need people that can take great photos and those that know how to write decent paragraphs to help with the creation of the website and with other designs for promotional products. These talents will be very helpful when you are trying to do many advertising types of things for your business. Sometimes just having someone that can proof read is an amazing amount of assistance.
