Protect Yourself and Your Business 
Research confirms that despite the well-known risks, more than half of people online use the same or a variation of the same password over and over again, sometimes even writing the password on a post-it note for ease of access. Further, more than half of people online rely on memory to “store” their passwords, resulting in some 25% of users resetting their passwords at least once a month. Numerous secure online programs can help you beef up your password and online security, and many are built right into popular anti-virus programs published by BitDefenderNorton and others.

Are Your Online Assets 
Ready for a Q4 Sales Surge? 
Many experts predict higher online sales in the closing months of 2020. Perhaps it's time for a quick dust-off of your web site. Here’s some thoughts: 
  • What’s your online customer experience (CX) like? 
  • Are your core products readily seen and ready to be sold? 
  • Is your site mobile responsive? (Remember, a huge chunk of online sales occur on mobile devices) 
  • Is critical functionality – shipping options, customer discount calculators, online payment options and the like – all tuned up? 
  • Have you tested your level of search engine optimization (SEO)? 
  • Is your website married to critical social media outlets?
