One of the challenges facing the mobile notary business is trying to keep costs down. A feat not so easily done with ever rising gas prices and 200 page E-doc files. What follows, are 3 cost cutting tips that will help your mobile notary dollars go farther. 1. Buy a Laser Printer When making a purchasing decision such as with a printer, don't go out and buy the cheapest ink jet printer you can find. Though it might seem better to save yourself a few hundred bucks by buying that $99.00 printer over a good quality laser printer, the truth is your cost per printed page is cheaper with a laser printer, and that all adds up when you're printing a few thousand pages of loan documents each month. Plus there is nothing like the speed and ease of a dual tray laser printer, when printing out e-docs at the end of the month. Just ask any Mobile Notary Signing Agent that has been around for awhile. 2. Get new phone service There are many choices in phone services these days for a mobile notary and VoIP is one of the most cost effective solutions available, but it's not for everyone, and you'll need a high speed Internet connection. Some local phone companies are offering good discounts for bundling services. Give them a call and see what options are available to you. If you take the time to research what options are available in your area, it could save you hundreds of dollars each year. 3. Buy a Hybrid car $3.60 a gallon! Say no more. As a mobile notary, gas is one of the largest expenses that we incur, so buying a hybrid vehicle makes sense. This is a long term purchasing decision, and if you know that you're going to be in the Mobile Notary business for years to come, a hybrid car could be quite a benefit to your long term business objectives.
