This isn't what I usually blog about, but this was brought to my attention lately. And since I am involved in my own business, I thought touching on some business subjects now and then is appropriate for me. Having my own business has made it possible for me to be a full time homesteader, as well as a full time online businesswoman.
I was recently in our bank and they have added one of those business tv set-ups in the lobby. Now while you are standing in line you can watch television and be entertained. Not having a television at home I find it quite interesting. I haven't seen much television at all in eleven years since I have lived here. Though when my Mother was alive, I did watch with her about once a week. So since 2002, I have not been watching it hardly at all, unless I went to someone's house which is rare. I always say, I don't miss it. Then why do I pay attention to it in the bank?
Anyway, this is what I have discovered. If you are in a brick and mortar business, not just a bank, but even offices, laundromats, car repair shops' waiting rooms, restaurants (Yes! People LIKE to watch while they eat!! Especially people alone.). The commercial television could help your business by bringing business in to your establishment. Instead of sitting in a waiting room anywhere bored out of their mind or getting angry because it is taking you so long to wait on them or fix their car or whatever..............they could be watching television. Then they would not mind so much.
As I think about the options for setting up television in a restaurant it becomes clear to me that this would be the way to go. The dish business is big now for all businesses. But if you owned a restaurant or cafe, like the well known cyber cafes where you can be on the internet while eating or having coffee, your customers would be able to watch television while they eat their meals. It would bring in plenty of customers and the best part is that it would keep them there! They would be watching something and order more desserts, coffee, drinks, etc.
So don't rule out the television as being old fashioned quite yet. I mean my sister-in-law has one in her vehicle in the back seat. She likes it for her grandkids. That just shows you that it is now an option when you purchase a vehicle. Another thing about setting up a television in restaurants is that it is something you can have to occupy children waiting for their meals. Instead of the kids getting cranky and loud, and annoying all the other customers, now they will have something to occupy them.

. He told us that Hughes is okay as long as you don't have to call customer service. Their call center I guess, is in a foreign country somewhere, and he said you have a hard time making them understand what you need or want. So I try to do email contact with them only. They do understand about when our bill is due though!
company, Frontier. DSL is not an option unfortunately. Neither is any of the wireless services even though all three of our computers are set up for it. So all three of the
can be online and don't have to be connected by a wire to a box.We have a 
instead. My son can take his computer out to the barn during the day and be online. That is one good thing..........all three computers with one internet connection. Fast computers going to sites and doing all kinds of things, like writing this blog, getting emails, putting photos on sites, posting on forums, etc.
(which I happen to LOVE!!!!) or download software of any kind.........unless we get on the computers from 2:00 AM to 7:00 AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If we don't and do any of those things during the day, we pay for it by having slower than dial-up service. That is the reason I have kept one dial-up connection. Nowadays, video is everything! You go to a site and a video will just start without you even realizing it. To learn things and use tutorials you NEED to be able to view videos! Instead of the satellite bringing you up to par on technology it holds you back. It is so unfair.
had promised in his presidential campaign that all of America would have fast internet service. He said he wanted to give rural Americans the chance that the rest of the country has. Well? How about it? Not being able to use these services is holding my business and me back. My husband recently bought a really good quality video camcorder and we have the dream of using it and putting videos online. But this Hughes Net does not allow it. For $7.50 you can buy an hour or two of usage during the day.
