As a business owner, it’s easy to get set in your ways, but here are five costs you should rethink. By reducing recurring costs like these, you can send a steady stream of dollars to your bottom line.  

5 Cost Reductions to Grow Your Bottom Line

1. Rather than buying new printer cartridges; buy recycled ones.  Save money and the environment.
   
   
2. Eliminate fees on banking accounts. Request your current banker to waive fees. If not, there are plenty of banks that want your business on a no-fee basis. 
   
   
3. Reduce postage costs. The US Post Office provides a free service to clean up your mailing list. Just ask. 
   
   
4. Include advertising in your current mailings. If you send invoices or other regular mailings, insert an advertising piece without additional charge.
   
   
5. Shop every purchase.  For every purchase over $500, email a standard request for quote to three vendors.
