QUESTION: What has your business done to adapt to changes in technology, if you have at all? 

 

Ralph White

White’s Auto Salvage and Recycling

Marche’s Point

Like most businesses we have a computer, which I admit is mostly operated by my daughter. We use it mostly for advertising online what we have to offer, and it does bring in business.

Donnie Kendall

Kendall’s Fisheries

Piccadilly

We use a computer to send out and receive emails, and all our payroll is done on the computer. Other than that we do our business the old-fashioned way, as it comes down to customer service.

 

Arch Locke

ACS Financial Insurance

Stephenville

In my investment and insurance business I deal with big insurance companies and have computer software compatible with what they’re using. I get a quick, wonderful technology response.

 

Mel Dean

JetAge Wind

Stephenville

Our business relies on technology in order to help design and commercialize our invention. We have a website and an email account that we also use to conduct business.

 

Cecil Ryan

Amgwes Safety Inc.

Stephenville

We use social media, including Twitter, Linked In and Facebook, to get the word out about our services. We also use laptops, computers, projectors and power points for conducting classes.

 

Rick Blagdon

Reach Road Auto Ltd.

Burgeo

We use the Internet to sell cars. For fixing vehicles, I use Identifix to get step-by-step directions on repairs. We also do ads for our rental properties, which results in tourists booking ahead.
