The Gift of Volunteering

Saturday, December 5^th is “International Volunteer Day” where people from all around the globe work together to make the world a better place. This special day was first recognized by the United Nations (UN) in 1985, as “an opportunity for us all to promote volunteerism in all communities, encourage governments to support volunteer efforts, and recognize volunteer contributions and accomplishments.” The UN’s theme for this year, 2020 is: “Together We Can Through Volunteering”.

 

 

Charter Global has been proud to partner with Open Doors in Atlanta, GA for over two years providing development resources to support their important mission: “Making Connections to End Homelessness – connecting Non-Profit organizations to real estate operators, Open Doors has created a system that works better for everyone.”

 

 

The connections include 85 Non-Profits serving the homeless community, 334 Rental Companies that rent to people with rental barriers, and 107 Management Companies helping to make the connections.

 

 

Open Doors accomplishments are worth celebrating:

 

• 30 Days to find a home (on average)
• 7,852 Placements (since 2013)
• 1,203 Veterans placed (since 2016)
• 685 Children (housed since 2019)

 

 

We all know that 2020 has been a difficult year for everyone and it is for that reason, we should roll-up-our sleeves, put on a mask, and get out there to help someone in need. You can also contribute from your own home, such as donate to organizations that are getting out there to volunteer. The gift you will receive is a feeling of joy that you helped someone who needed it most. Happy International Volunteer Day from Charter Global.

How to prepare for the 2020 holiday shopping season?

With the 2020 holiday shopping season shaping up to be like no other, here's how you can prepare your business.

• Due to coronavirus restrictions and a possible second lockdown, many stores will limit in-person shopping.

• Businesses should prepare for large volumes of online shoppers and seek to provide a personalized experience.

• To prepare, businesses should boost their websites are performing well and get the word out about shopping deals early.

• This article is for small business owners who want tips for how to best prepare for the 2020 holiday shopping season.

There's no doubt that the 2020 holiday shopping season will be unusual, with the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting how retailers do business and changing how customers shop. With in-store shopping capacities significantly reduced across much of the United States and consumers limiting their exposure to crowds because of the pandemic, huge in-person shopping events typically associated with Black Friday are unlikely to happen this year. As such, businesses big and small are shifting their focus to online sales, with many deals starting early to entice more shoppers.

The impact of many more people online this year has the potential for a major increase in online profits for your business. Let Charter Global help you determine what your app needs to capitalize on this holiday shopping opportunity?

How much does it cost to develop an App?

This question is among the initial ones that are being asked when any app development project begins. App development cost estimate is what sits at the very bottom of any mobile app development budget. Quite often a company owner finds herself trying to answer these two questions – how much does it cost to make an app for my business by hiring a professional versus how much does it cost to make an app by myself.

As much as we would like to put a finger on the cost of app development, we can only come up with an estimate, simply because each app development process involves many factors that collectively influence a final cost figure. Luckily there are several app development budgets forming factors that will help you to shape the development cost of an app. So, an app development cost breakdown comes down to:

App functionality and purpose – what an app will actually be capable of doing for its users.

Mobile platforms and devices are supported – whether an app will be developed for iOS only or has an Android / Windows Mobile version as well. What specific devices will it support, e.g. iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S+, Samsung Galaxy S6, and so on?

Integration points – will an app be integrated with third-party apps that will be the source of its content.

Use of visual objects – complexity of visual objects inside of an app will significantly influence the cost.

Use of smartphone hardware features – whether an app will be using such smartphone features as GPS navigation, NFC technology, motion co-processor, and other technologies that are packed into smartphones or tablet computers.

Maintenance plan – once an app development project is over, certainly it will require technical support from its developer.

What Should I Budget For? Keep in mind, what you pay for in the software developing world will determine the quality of the application you receive in the end. While basic applications can be created for less, a complex application will be more expensive depending on the integrations, APIs, maintenance, support, and the operating system is used.

Let our expert consultants at Charter Global help you determine just what to expect, so you can begin to develop a strategic plan and forecast your fiscal budget for your 2021 application development! schedule a consultation with Charter Global to find you the perfect fit.

Make Sure Your App Can Handle Holiday Shoppers

For many people, the start of the holiday shopping season is well underway. With everything that has happened in 2020, we can expect a surge in online shopping, specifically through mobile apps. To ensure your business is capitalizing on this year’s shopping season, it’s important to take action as soon as possible.

 

 

Making a plan will help you cover all of your bases – from marketing to branding, to actual product development. The earlier you can create a plan around your holiday ideas, the better, but don’t worry if you’re just now getting around to it. Taking some time out of your busy schedule to accomplish some Quality Assurance (QA) testing will make for a more comprehensive and smoother holiday season to promote holiday deals and perks. Check-in with your IT team and ask them to verify if your servers are adequately prepared for a boost in users, and the length of time that they are on the app. After all, you don’t want your app to crash, especially during the holidays!

 

 

Most likely, you will have a slew of push notifications required. Rather than doing them in real-time, schedule them a few days in advance so that you can spend more time on other forms of promotions to encourage more shoppers to use your application.

 

 

Even though you have established an action plan, it never hurts to have a backup. With the epic increase of people shopping online due to COVID-19 this year, we’re in unprecedented times. Think of everything possible that could go wrong and develop a contingency plan to address the possible risks and issues.

 

 

The impact of many more people online this year has the potential for a major increase in online profits for your business. Let Charter Global help you determine what your app needs to capitalize on this holiday shopping opportunity.

Make 2021 the Year of Strategic Success!

It is common at the end of the year to reflect back on your organization’s balanced scorecard. As we all know the year, 2020 produces a plethora of challenges and opportunities. Some business sectors thrived, while others encountered difficulties. For many organizations, goals and objectives went unrealized, due to the unforeseen events that incurred. In business, as in life, there are cycles that will always be changing and evolving.

 

 

The end of the year is the time to collaboratively work on your strategic planning process. It is recommended to develop a plan that has some short-term goals, such as the next 12 months. The shorten time-span is applicable, due to the still-present uncertainty we are all facing in our global economy. The strategic planning process doesn’t have to be super complex. Try these steps to develop a strategic plan:

 

 

 

 

• Brainstorm – break-off into small groups and collaboratively come up with a list of possible goals and objectives. Hint: the more diversity in your groups, the more comprehensive your list will be.

 

• Discussion – come back together to disseminate and discuss all of the ideas in a supportive environment. Vote as a group on which are the top three items.

 

• Communication – take the list of the top three items back to the leaders of your organization where they can ascertain the financial equity to prioritize and fund these endeavors.

 

• Execution – begin to work on the chosen projects to benefit your organization.

 

• Success – this process will help your organization achieve strategic success in 2021!

 

 

Please contact Charter Global to help your organization with strategic planning for 2021, whether it is an informal process, as stated above, or a formalized corporate strategic planning process to develop long-term and short-term goals for our Business Analysts and Technical team can bring your vision to really in 2021.
