How are you using technology in your small business? Sure, you probably use a computer and a mobile phone, but are you truly harnessing the power of technology to help your business grow? Here are 10 ways technology can reenergize your business to help grow your customer base, improve productivity and increase efficiency

1. Put your business in the cloud. Popular cloud storage services like Dropbox, Microsoft SkyDrive or Google Drive store your documents and data online (rather than on your computer’s hard drive), keeping information secure and letting you access files anywhere, from any computer. Use the cloud to create different folders for different projects or team members; collaborate with employees, contractors or partners; and share files or images that are too big to email.

2. Market with social media. Does your business depend on local customers? Use social media tools to drive traffic to your door. Get listed on Yelp!, use a social check-in tool like Foursquare, and list your business on Google Places so people can easily find you and get directions to your location. Do you provide a service like plumbing or landscaping? Get listed on Angie’s List. Always encourage customers to leave reviews after visiting your store, using your services or finishing a meal in your restaurant. To keep all your listings up to date, use a service like Locu that lets you manage all your online business information in one place.

3. Reach out with email. According to Convince and Convert, last year 44 percent of email users made at least one purchase based on a promotional email. Once customers opt-in to receive your emails, send a monthly newsletter, alerts about sales or new products, or special offers. Email success is all about frequency and follow-up. Contact your local SBDC to get help setting up an email marketing account and determining the best way to reach out to your customer base.

4. Sell online. Do you have a retail store? Expand your customer base by selling your products online, either through an ecommerce website of your own, or through larger online marketplaces such as the Amazon Marketplace, eBay or Etsy. Do you own a restaurant? Use an online service such as GrubHub, Seamless or iMenu360 that lets customers place orders online for pickup or delivery.

5. Enhance customer service. Save customers time and hassle by answering their most frequently asked questions on your business website and voicemail. This can include maps or directions to your business; hours of operation; information about shipping and returns; menu items and specials; or whatever customers ask you most.

6. Connect with prospects and partners. For a smart alternative to time-consuming and costly business trips, use solutions like Skype, GoToMeeting or WebEx to hold voice conference calls or videoconferences with customers and clients.

7. Get organized with project management software. If your small company outsources to contractors, tracking who’s doing what and when can be a major headache. Simplify things with project management tools like BaseCamp, Zoho or Asana, which let you create and assign tasks, collaborate on projects and track everyone’s progress.

8. Simplify scheduling. Does your business require setting appointments with customers? Eliminate phone tag by using scheduling tools like FullSlate, Genbook or BookFresh, which enable clients to schedule their own appointments online at their convenience.

9. Understand your customers. Got a website? Great! Now sign up for Google Analytics (it’s free) and get reports that show where your website visitors are coming from—including what sites drive them to yours, what cities they live in, how long they spend on your site, what pages they look at and more.

10. Get paid instantly, anywhere. Do you serve customers at their homes or offices, or sell products on the go at farmers’ markets or events? Mobile payment tools such as paga, Intuit GoPayment and PayPal Here, which work with your smartphone or tablet computer, make life easier for both you and your customers by letting you accept noncash payments on the spot.

It is a well established principle of customary law in Nigeria that the payment of bride price is an essential ingredient of a valid customary law marriage. The term 'bride price' is often used interchangeably in Nigeria with 'dowry

". . . any gift or payment, in money, natural produce, brass rods, cowries or in any other kind of property whatsoever, to a parent or guardian of a female person on account of a marriage of that person which is intended or has taken place"
Is the term 'dowry' equivalent to the term 'price"? or 'purchase price' of an article: is a single sum payable (even if by installments to the owner or owners of the article .... Dowry on the other hand, is not, usually a single or simple sum like a price. Dowry in a customary law

marriage is the total of the various absolutely necessary sums or fees which must be paid by the prospective husband either at different stages and or for different heads or purposes to seal the marriage agreement between the parties and their families Quite often a payment for one purpose cannot be considered or even discussed until payment has been made for another purpose which is regarded as a necessary prior step in the ladder of the marriage agreement. As the marriage (or even further discussion about it) cannot take place without payment of the various purposes or heads, these payments become a sine qua non in a customary marriage transaction.

Whether bride price takes the form of a gift or payment depends on the customary law of each locality. Historically, bride price took the form of labour provided by the suitor for the parents of his wife-to-be. Such labour was rendered in addition to a small cash payment and drinks. But with the advent of modern cash economy, bride price took the predominant form of money payment. At the same time, payment in other forms of property became a rare occurrence.

There is no uniformity of the rules governing the quantum of bride price throughout Nigeria. It varies from one locality to another. Even within a state, the differences may be profound. For instance, in Anambra State, Onitsha town is a known area of low bride price which is about forty Naira. On me other hand, Awka and environs are known for high bride price which may range in hundreds of Naira. Incidents of high-bride price in parts of Nigeria have been criticized for causing social ills particularly in preventing young men who cannot afford the large sums of money demanded by parents of bride-to-be from getting married. Similarly, frustrated young women may be tempted to indulge in unmoral associations.

You can invest in the establishment of a hatchery for the production of day-old chicks to the local market. A complete poultry reproduction unit will include a hatchery system, a broiler parent stock facility, a layer parent stock facility and a rearing farm. The physical structures on the poultry farm include well ventilated chicken house structures, fitted with automatic drinking lines (systems) and feeding systems, a feed mill and generators to ensure that power is always available to the hatchery.
