If you're a small business owner in Canada, you've likely traveled to different cities and countries to meet with prospective clients, existing partners, or employees. If you are looking to stay connected and save time and money on your next business trip , check out the following tips from Rogers, whose small business customers frequently travel to the U.S. for work.
In fact, 60,000 did so just within the past seven months. Here are their top three quick tips for travel south of the border:
1. Pack light: Today most airlines charge baggage fees – both to and from your destination – for checking luggage. By bringing a carry-on for a short business trip, you can avoid the extra cost and hassle of lugging a large suitcase along with you.
2. Collect travel rewards: If you're a frequent traveler, look for a credit card that has an associated loyalty program that can help you save money on flights or hotels.
3. Think ahead about roaming: If you're like most small business owners, your smartphone is your lifeline, even when travelling. Setting up a roaming plan that lets you securely use your device outside the country will help alleviate stress and save you money.
