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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Reach Road Auto Ltd.

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.
