99 Designs can be a great tool when you are in need of coming up with a concept. I recommend for logos and designs for both online media and print media. It uses 'crowd-sourcing' which is a fancy term for having multiple individuals come up with designs for you but you only have to pay for the one you select. Most of the designs come from overseas designers but many are very, very good. |
We have been using YouSendit for years now. It is an extremely efficient way for our customers to send us their large files for printing. You can use it to send large files to anyone.

I commonly get asked if we can print business cards, brochures, flyers, catalogs and other material. Since we only do Large Format Printing and Trade Show Displays, I typically refer the work to Overnight Prints. We use Overnight Prints and have been very happy with their service for many years. |

Freshbooks is one of my favorite online services. I highly recommend it you don't already have invoicing software that you are satisfied with. Freshbooks has a very clean and nice appearance and allows you to quickly generate an invoice from anywhere since they are a web-based software. Customers can conveniently pay their invoice they received in their email. Among many other features, you can generate estimate, track time spent on projects and run reports. |
Volusion has hosted our website since 2006. They have done a terrific job and have become a powerhouse in the e-commerce website business. The tools they provide to showcase your product and handle online sales is very impressive and will make your job much easier in the long run. They also provide marketing solutions such as pay per click, SEO, and much more. |
Zimbra is an amazing service. I was stuck on Outlook for years and I always had a problem of syncing my emails between computers both at the office and remotely. After a little research I found Zimbra to be the best web-based email application for businesses. I can log in from literally any computer and check my email and it has everything in my Inbox and Sent folder. It also has a calender feature and many other useful tools. I signed up with Zimbra and never looked back! |

It is simple to use and send emails to your customers and they also have a service that allows you to send postcards through the mail automatically without you having to lick stamps. |
Zazzle is a great resource for customizing any promo items, t-shirts, coffee mugs and just about anything else you can think of. Have a trade show coming up? Zazzle is a great place to get all of your handouts ready. |
ODesk is a service that connects you with individuals for various jobs and tasks. Most of them are international who are essentially virtual assistants with a wide range of skills and services.
