It’s scary to consider, but we may be looking at a recession in the coming months. A recent article in Newsweek by Daniel Gross says:
Just two years ago, Wall Street economists spoke of a Goldilocks economy, in which everything was just right. These days, it’s the three bears. As of this week, the economists at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are all predicting a recession for 2008.
The last recession came in 2001 after the tech bubble burst, causing businesses to stop investing. Prior to that was in 1990 as a response to the commercial real estate/savings-and-loan implosion.
Home prices declined 6.1 percent in 2007, which makes economist and business people think that we’re facing our next big slowdown here shortly.
In this time of potential recession, companies need to be aggressive at cutting business costs. If your business hasn’t converted to fax to email, now is the time. It’s less expensive than using a fax machine and it will save you time. It’s also wonderfully convenient. You can send and receive a fax from anywhere that you have an Internet connection.
We hate to spread doom and gloom about the economy. One hopes that the slow-down will be short and minimal in scope. But regardless of the extent of the damage, now is the time to prepare with smart business decisions.

I recently read a great Ezine Article by Elizabeth Morgan about Internet fax. The article points out two important advantages to this type of service:
The first is the savings in costs and time, which are really the same thing. No longer must you buy or rebuy traditional fax machines that have become a necessary standard in office supplies over the last twenty years. No longer do you have to purchase paper and toner for the machine. No longer do you have hire a fax machine repair man when it breaks.
The other big savings is in time. You no longer have to get up out of your seat and go to the fax machine to retrieve your fax. No longer do you have to print up the document that you’re going to fax on the copy machine, and then take it over to the fax machine to send it. No longer do you have to dial the number, wait for the number to connect. No longer do you have to figure out the correct way to put it in the machine. And when it doesn’t work, you don’t have to find someone in the office to show you what you’re doing wrong. It’s super easy.
Elizabeth Morgan says:
“The speed of the Internet and the ease-of-use of email have fused with the most popular form of business communication. With fax services, the way you communicate will definitely improve. Try Internet fax services now.”
