Winter Boat Workshops at Boating Dealerships

on Wed, Jan 30, 2019 @ 09:45 AM By | Joe Gargiulo | 0 Comments |
At the start of this new year, recreational boating is currently limited to viewing frozen silhouettes in millions of backyards across America. While consumers and boating dealerships long for warmer temperatures, both parties can benefit from winter boat workshops over the next few months. Boats sustain considerable exposure from the elements while they are in the water, so boating dealerships can provide a first line of defense by offering workshops that focus on the essentials. These monthly workshops should start in January or February and continue through May. The breadth of these DIY projects can consume large chunks of time, so getting an early start is critical.

How Do I Guarantee the Payment of Delivered Building Supplies?

on Fri, Nov 16, 2018 @ 06:45 AM By | Joe Gargiulo | 0 Comments | Building Materials Check Guarantee
Cash, check or charge, there are only three ways to guarantee the payment of delivered building supplies to residential or commercial job sites. Simultaneously, there are only three main channels for delivering supplies: pay the dealer to do it, hire a third party delivery service, or do it yourself. The meshed processes entail having an adequate vehicle to transport the supplies, a safe way to load and unload them, enough manpower, and of course, the means to make and accept payments.

Reasons People Stop Payment on Checks

on Tue, Sep 18, 2018 @ 07:44 AM By | Joe Gargiulo | 0 Comments | Stop Payment Protection
Buena Vista Auto Works repairs a customer's vehicle, accepts a check payment for the services, and sends the happy motorist on his way. All is well until the next morning when the driver discovers that he wrote the check for $4,000 instead of $400, the correct amount. In this instance, most people would simply ask the shop to destroy the original check and write an amended check for $400. Unfortunately, the customer decides to initiate a stop payment on the $4,000 check at his bank instead of contacting the shop for a resolution. The bank charges him a $35 stop-payment fee and the shop now possesses a check with no apparent value. What recourse does the shop have?

Five Trends in the 2018 Building Materials Industry: Pt 1

on Tue, Sep 11, 2018 @ 06:45 AM By | Joe Gargiulo | 0 Comments | Building Materials
The building materials industry has experienced significant change in recent years — granite is the “new” Formica; two-by-six framing is as common as two-by-fours; and wood (solid, laminate, engineered or reclaimed) has replaced wall-to-wall carpeting as the flooring of choice for many Americans. Beyond this veneer of change is a fundamental framework of industry growth, sustainability, technology, do-it-yourself homeowners, and the need for simplified installations. The focus is on sustainable products and technology, but other trends are also having a profound influence on the building materials industry. Many of these disruptive changes are interdependent, and as expected, there is a direct correlation between construction and building materials.

Help, I Need a New Check Guarantee Service

on Fri, Aug 24, 2018 @ 07:45 AM By | Joe Gargiulo | 0 Comments | Check Guarantee
Check guarantee companies are a small segment of the financial services industry, and CrossCheck has seen competitors come and go since launching in 1983. Over the years, some privately owned check guarantee firms have been gobbled up by much larger conglomerates, yet CrossCheck has remained independently owned throughout its distinguished history. More importantly, though, CrossCheck is periodically contacted by merchants who are looking for a new check guarantee company because they just parted ways with their old one. Disgruntled merchants come in all shapes and sizes, but their reasons for dissatisfaction generally center on a group of check processing faux pas:
