SHARE Ask Rieva Q: I know it's a cliché at this point, but I really need to figure out how to do more with less. I've been reviewing our expenses from last year. We spent too much money on travel, and I'm not sure I'm getting the right ROI on some of our marketing efforts. Any ideas? A: Actually yes, and they all come from one place. The new, soon-to-be-released Microsoft Office 2010 will help you produce better marketing materials-in-house. And you'll be able to "broadcast" your PowerPoint presentations, so you can likely cut back (and save money) on travel expenses as well.
