Join us as we discuss all the cool things we learn, and have learned, about growing a small business. Mostly marketing, technology, business development, and the occasional cool USB Flash Drive.
Did you know we have a mascot? Well to your surprise we do, and its name is Ubie! In the past, we were struggling to create a brand for our company. It wasn't until we redesigned our website that everything started to fall into place. Once Ubie came along, our brand changed for the better, and we finally had the perfect mascot we'd been searching for since the start of our company.
Who doesn't like free stuff? Everyone does, including us! That's why we love hosting giveaways for our awesome customers. We are especially excited to announce our latest giveaway called #FlashDrivesInAction.

From very early on I knew I loved sales, and the thrill of closing a big deal. But, it took me years to figure out that sometimes selling isn't just about the close, it's also about the customer. It took me even longer to find a business that melded those two philosophies into something that I could get behind.
Well, it's October and the official start of HALLOWEEN! To celebrate one of the best holidays of the year, we created a spook-tacular giveaway that's open to anyone who loves Halloween as much as we do. Find out how you can enter to win a gift box featuring a brand new 32 GB Ubie Ninja flash drive!
Today marks our ten year anniversary of using Open Source software. We have learned so many things about Open Source throughout the years, most significant of all is how important it has been to the success of our business. Without our accidental discovery of Ubuntu a decade ago and our brazen disregard for industry IT norms we might not be the company we are now.
If you think your Non-Compete Agreement protects you, more likely than not you're wrong. State laws change often, yet most businesses have contracts that are several years old. Making matters worse, is the modern trend of template websites offering cheap generic contracts. Many small businesses and new attorneys rely on cheap or free templates while not appreciating the potential legal consequences.
