4. A Tablet (Or Two)
A good tablet has become essential to any business. A great substitute for occasions where you don’t want to lug around your laptop, tablets are equipped with enough tech to get the job done. If your business has a retail element, you can use your tablet to play music, build your social media following, and even as a till!
5. An Ergonomic Keyboard
Give your wrists some TLC with an ergonomic keyboard. Designed to offer maximum comfort and reduce any desk-related injuries, a good keyboard will give you support. The better your physical health (repetitive strain injuries are no fun!) the more time you have to focus on running your business and increasing its success.
6. Dual Monitors
It’s no secret that two screens will help you become more organized and work faster. Opt for a dual monitor to help you stay switched on and boost your productivity. Your business’s wellbeing depends on you, so do yourself a favor and start on the right foot by ticking off this easy win!
7. A Webcam
With video meetings now the norm, a good quality webcam is crucial. If you want to be taken seriously, an old, blurry cam just won’t cut the mustard. Instead, look for a camera that has a wide view lens, low-light performance, autofocus, and high sound/microphone quality. If possible, go for a plug-in-and-play model which will mean you can use it on any laptop or computer without having to download software – perfect for those last-minute meetings!
