Once again, the market is flooded
with tech gifts and gadgets for the holiday
season. However, whether working
from home or the office, gifts that can
be used for both business and personal
use make the decision-making process
easier. To get started, here are few ideas
and their applications.
Mini- Photo Printers – These have
been around for a few years but technology
and quality has improved. Initial
devices had limited use but now for
example requirements such as the need
to secure facilities with photo ids, temporary
badges can be quickly created. They
may also provide a photographic hardcopy
timeline of a product being manufactured
for the buyer. A mini-printer
can be right for any application which
needs a picture on your phone printed
immediately.
Smart Theatre Projectors – For a
number of years it’s been great fun to put
on a neighborhood outdoor movie night
with one of these. But newer and smaller
HD projectors will play your latest marketing
video or commercial within your
store allowing potential consumers to see
your product in action.
Bluetooth Speakers – They’ve been
on Christmas lists for a while but continued
development makes them useful
in environments providing background
music to shop, dine outside or keep

door locks, cameras and temperature to
name a few giving peace of mind that
the building has been properly secured.
Wireless Headsets and Earbuds
– With longer battery life and comfort
levels these devices are an excellent tool
where communication between employees
is essential. Many restaurants with
drive-thru and curbside delivery use them
today to coordinate employee movement
and prevent unnecessary steps. But other
applications are waiting to be discovered
where finding that one employee quickly
is essential.
New High-Speed Routers – Businesses
operating from home can find
themselves in competition with school
work, gaming and entertainment streaming.
These new devices can work at 5G
speeds to handle more traffic than ever.
Everyone both family and business will
benefit from this performance upgrade.
Happy Shopping.
